Everything we feared is happening. Think the Shorrocks at 6 experiment is done as well.

Great refereeing performance. Don't know what's more farcical - his fat gut gut, the fake tan or how obviously biased he's been.

This is one of the reasons why top level RL is considered a joke at times

Wigan scholarship game called off last week too as opposition couldnt field a side

IMO, academy and reserves should be mandatory for all top level clubs, and they treat them with the respect that they deserve, not keep cancelling them because they cant be arsed. Its one of my gripes at the minute. How can we as a game produce youngsters who are ready to step up to 1st team, when there isnt a pathway for them because some clubs cant be arsed about it

Each club should be required to play a minimum number of club trained players in their 17, that would require all clubs producing junior players.

Could be a banana skin this one. Hull squad looking pretty injury free, we had 6/7 involved in the England game plus so notable outs.

Good start needed

Going exactly how I feared. We look like we lack energy and Hull look full of it. They are playing well to be fair to them.


Shorrocks and KPP are struggling in D

Obvious but we need to score next.

I fully agree. We need to step it up.

Feels like we’ve pushed it one week too far or maybe a full game too far at least. He’s done a superb job but we can’t forget it’s an emergency pick and no more. It’s a funny old game but you can probably get away with it more in games against Saints and Wire, than tonight because in those games everyone is totally switched on, covering each other and they’re rarely high scoring. It’s games like tonight where you need that threat and execution a specialist 6 brings. Last point is to say that’s not to bag Shorrocks, he’s done a great job in there for us in the circumstances.

Good to score at the end of the half. Our defence looked to have stepped up that last 10. Still can pull something out here. Haven’t seen Nsemba or Hill yet

Saving our subs the second period, hopefully we can come home with a wet sail.

Not seen a penalty for somebody passing after being called held for ages.
