Regardless of officials attack near their line awful. No drop outs forced. Widdop needed to take more control.
Everything else so much better. Hard to win back to back Easter games. Clear improvements over the last 2 games.

5h1t officiating ....
The RFL are a joke. A "try" scored from a forward pass, by a player that's going to pick up a 5 match ban, tomorrow. Baffling
Kendall appalling.

Masters of our own downfall, though.
EVERY distance kick on the last tackle, was taken by Connor, on the full.

We need to do better at that

Both sets of players deserve better than that. They play two games in four days, run their blood to water and the outcome is decided by guesswork.

Hull won't care but if the Hull derby and gone to that script they'd have been a riot.

Much better than I was fearing. I think we can safely say we are a mid table team this year.

If they play like that every match for the rest of the season I will have no complaints. Good effort by the boys today.

A massive improvement since we got beat by Hull KR. We have better to come, the halves arent firing really, why our marquee half Widdop isnt kicking on the last is baffling to be honest and those last tackle kicks are my only gripe with today. Commitment and work rate across the board was so, so much better.

Credit to thewlis who improves every time I see him, he's going to be excellent IMO and should be starting FB next season. Darryl's best game for such a long time, the front row matched up really well, currie and Ashton were good too. I liked Mata'utia getting in to Wynne after he hit thewlis in the air, showed me he was willing to front up today and he did, don't get me wrong he offered nothing special really but up for the fight and no mistakes.

I think if we had even referee calls today we would have won it. Kendall made mistakes both ways but way more against us than for us. He's an unbelievably appalling ref.

Gutted with the result but much happier with the effort. Daryl looked much better tonight, Thewlis the real deal. King gets some stick on here but he has caused havoc for his opposite number in both games this weekend.

Agreed, he looks to test the opposition all the time and that's what makes things happen for any team. He's a quality player.

We really did play well, despite poor call after poor call the whole team never felt sorry for themselves or lost focus and that's what I'm most happy about in that performance. We went behind and didn't buckle either. Some great signs of resilience in there. As I said earlier if they play like that every week I really can't ask for more as a fan.

That’s not good enough. I’ll look forward to a message from Daryl and an update on the midweek “honest discussions”.

It’s utter tripe, pathetic.

Re: Today’s match v Hull : Mon Apr 18, 2022 7:17 pm  

I'm not on board the "all is well" train unfortunately..that was a knackered and pretty poor Hull team. We offered nothing in go forward in that second half and the last play choices were questionable. Improved? Yes. Much improved? Nah, far to go
