Thaler missing the most obvious one knocked the stuffing out of us and some of ours was borderline..as for Hudds,I just don't get them,bloody boring team and I didn't think they was that good tbh and it bloody flattered them that last try

Second that, thought he was outstanding.

But but but...he is bang average,crap,awful etc etc,so say the know nowt brigade on here,personally,I'd have got rid of Shaul.

Another top effort from our youngsters tonight. Too many errors in the second half, top 4 reffing at its best for their try to get them back in front, how all the officials missed that was unreal

Result definitely flattered hudds who do look ordinary at times but that is their style and it works for them

Agree with this. Couple of ridiculous forward passes too. I was expecting a hammering looking at the respective teamsheets and as already said some great experience for what will hopefully be the nucleus of the team in a few years.

To be fair, as I understand Rankin talked himself out of a contract (release clause?) and wanted to go home anyway? As for getting rid of Shaul, I think that's short sighted. Yes he's a bit raw, but he's very young and IMO will become a star.

good run out for our youngsters, in the game for most parts,hopefully finish with a win against cats, Imo the top 8 playoffs need a tinkle with as to many dead matches

Good effort again from Hull, yet another game we could have won with a little more composure.

I think a slight tweak to make it a playoffs a top6 instead of top4 could help keep the interest, while still making it hard for the 5th/6th teams to get to the final, though we would have still been out of the running a few weeks back.

We've got to beat Catalan next week, they've won one away game at Wakefield all year, half their team is leaving and you can't imagine they'll be all that bothered. So anything less than 2 points would be a weak display from us.

Start the super 8s with The team finishing top of the regular season on 6pts , 2nd on 4pts and 3rd start on 2 points the other 5 teams starting on zero . That would be my idea on how to do it but tbf if I were a Wigan or Leeds fan I'd want it to stay as it is

Keep it as it is, we will be in the top 4 next season anyway according to AP

Not fair to change it. It's up to us to win more games in the first part.

Rankin was great, maybe his best game for us, but their has been plenty of average ones. Still annoyed by kick on the first tackle when we had their 12 men on the rack at 4-0.

Sill mistakes and poor discipline.

Also how did the officials miss the forward pass for their first try in the 2nd half, but managed to spot all of ours.

How many great games has he had for us? A handful at best

As for tonight, plenty of effort but we were rubbish with the ball - far too many soft errors and poor decision making.

We have some good players coming in but they're not addressing our real weaknesses which for me are the halfs and hooker. Another disappointing season in 2016 beckons IMO

On the super 8 format, something needs doing to make all games matter, yes part of it needs to be done by us but it's no good having dead rubbers 4 weeks into the concept, didn't catch the crowd tonight but there can't have been more than 6000 inside the ground, it must be hitting our club and other clubs financially

Spot on, we're strengthening the team in areas such as the 2nd row which are already strong. I'm still far from convinced by the halves, Sneyd is inconsistent and doesn't lead the team around the field, I can cut Pryce some slack tonight as he clearly wasn't match fit, but we've signed him a good few years too late. The never ending search for quality, consistent halves continues.

Regardless of the line up tonight thought it was a game we could have and should have won had we been smarter. Too many errors and too many stupid penalties.
Pryce was an absolute passenger and for me shouldn't have been playing but I guess that's down to lack of available bodies.
The biggest disappointment again tonight in my opinion was Sneyd. Never took the line on barring once, missed glaringly obvious gaps to run in to at times, poor with ball in hand and a terrible kicking game both in play and at goal. None been too impressed with him overall.
Story of our season tonight when compared to last week.

9,300 ish ... Think 8k would be more like a true gate

Probably the same way they missed the blatant knock on that led to you scoring yours in the first half...

Worst defensive display from us in some time and back to the poor decision making that plagued us before the super 8s. We made nearly as many mistakes as you. Anderson made too many changes and we Played without a proper hooker for 30 minutes.
Old faithful ringing out to an almost empty stadium at the end after a 9,500 starting crowd made me chuckle. As did the ambulance man who cheered every try we scored- must be a rovers fan!!
You have some very decent young players there. Hope radford keeps them.

with the players we have coming in next year and the youngsters we have coming through I believe we will be 5/6 next year

I thought 7-8k in the ground, the South stand was the emptiest I've seen it for a league game. it's also noticeable how many passholders around us who have been going for years are now missing several games, and we are now past the summer holiday season. People are finding other stuff to do.

Yes Rankin took the eye but my MOM was Brad Fash, seemed to be involved in every tackle down the middle, great enthusiasm and definitely one for the future.

Giants didn't find 3rd gear at all and as Jools said we were back to dumb plays and trying to do it all the easy flash way without earning it

Ref missed a lot both ways and was conned more than once by FC players

And if you dont like those runaound offloads for Connors tries you aren't rugby fans

Ahh right so you just liked to keep us in the game then, not only is it arrogant to put that its also direspctful for those kids who played on the pitch agianst you

So how exactly can the RL do this? There is one point separating the top four teams at the moment which I would suggest shows that the concept, for the teams that CAN compete actually works. The RL are not to blame for our complete inadequacies as a team. Poor half backs, a hooker with the worst distribution in SL, the slowest back line in the 8's by a mile and a coach with ZERO pedigree at this level.
