I need a copy of your CV, Craig. Needs to be forwarded to Boris Johnson. He needs this level of barbed insight to help write his future foreign policy speeches.

Josh Mantellato plays on the left wing tonight. Yippee!

Reasons to be cheerful. Blair in the halves, Donno at loose forward and Greenwood back in the second row.

Could be a close one. COYR.

Mantellato - never saw that coming (neither did he with his eye patch on!)

Rally round...

It means we don't have to score within 3 inches of upright to convert our tries

Had to work late and missed the game - RESULT!

Not in the least surprised to see the scoreline, which itself hurts a bit.

I assume we've been outgunned again? Even at something approaching full strength, we've too many players who'd be fringe squad players at other SL teams. Depth was a issue, but depth of quality was bigger one, from day 1 IMO. No reflection on them as individuals - they've scraped together 14 points, which isn't shameful, given our limitations and the odd bit of misfortune.

Pick up the pieces for the 8s now, I guess.

I didn't go tonight either. I'm glad. And I think that's it for me this season. One thing that peeved me off was Peacock laughing his head off during the first half when we were getting dry bummed.
I hope his 5 year plan is relevant while in the championship. Play like that against Leigh, and it's good night from us. So so disappointed.

Congratulations to the Black and Whites. Richly deserved victory.

The margin of victory was perhaps a bit flattering, aided by bizarre Thaler decisions yet again, some appalling composure from The Robins in attack, missed tackles, misreads in defence and some bad luck on 50-50 balls.

Marc Sneyd was pure class in the first half. He was the difference. On that form HE DESERVES A SHOT IN THE ENGLAND SIDE. ADD DANNY HOUGHTON TO THAT AS WELL.

We looked toothless in attack. Bombed too many opportunities and Hull's defence stifled us. Unhappy with the soft way we conceded the tries by Steve Michaels. Otherwise no complaints.

Hull will win at least one of the 2 end of season main trophies.
