Thewlis more or less had his back to Swift but he and Dufty together did enough to ensure the certain try wasn’t 6 points. Perhaps you missed that? Dwyer was probably the most liveliest player in the Hull team imo.
Hull were well beaten by Wire. Our pack floored them and Williams and Dufty shined.
I have to give credit to Richard Marshall. There is steel is in our defence that has been missing for a long time.

The Hull fc fans were pretty derisory about dwyer's performance yesterday

No you are wrong as can be proved by bothering to watch the video. https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/s ... highlights Thewlis was level with Swift and facing the same direction. In fact he hesitated tackling him initially. Swift outpaced him dramatically Thewlis wasnt in the video frame when Swift scored in fact I think he stopped chasing. Maybe Thewlis is injured I am not making anything of it but we do need to make our comments accurate.

Re the Swift try ,i think we should be more concerned about the wayward pass that gave away possession than Thewlis's lack of speed.

Some good stats from yesterday. Mikaele making a big impact and in fairness to Powell he unearthed a good un with Harrison. It also bodes well that one phone call from Burgess has certainly reinvigorated Dufty.

According to Abe Froman just now, Dwyer has NOT signed for us, and Ratchford will be playing 9 next season along with Walker.

Relatively happy with this. Ratchford still has value as a utility player, and will conveniently always be available on the bench if he's spelling Walker. Once we'd committed to signing him up for another two years, we needed a way to utilise him.

I wonder who will partner Wrench at centre?

Well reading Abe’s post Wrench does not look to be in the future plans.

They signed him from St Helens at the end of last year. Saints signed his younger brother for the start of this season, hence the continued regular shouts of forward from Saints fans this season.

Let's not forget, Saints signed his dad in the inaugural SL season.
He had 2 testimonials.
