We often struggle to find a way to win games, but we are also a very difficult team to put to bed. Especially at home. All last season, despite our poor form, we were only beaten by 10 points or more once at home. Indeed it's only happened 5 times in 3 and a bit seasons.

So whilst I don't doubt that you are capable of "shedding the shackles" I don't think it's going to happen tonight, either team can win and there may well only be a score in it either way.

That was me being optimistic. While I'd love us to run away with it, realistically we almost certainly won't.

I think what happened against Hudds with regards of letting that lead slip could be a blessing. 25 mins gone, strolling at 18-0 up....if it carried on like that for the rest of the game then we wouldn't really have learnt anything. Seen a few player/coach comments about the match and none of them were happy with how we performed so I think they'll be quite focused to get things right this week.

I agree with others that we haven't been anything special so far, merely ok really. Some good periods in games so far, some average ones, some poor ones. Yet we've still made comfortably more metres, tackle bursts, clean breaks and offloads than any other team (offloads we're about double the amount than most teams) and we've made the fewest missed tackles and conceded the fewest penalties.......and yet most will agree from our first 3 games that there's plenty of room for improvement, I mean we haven't really even put together a full 40 mins yet let alone a full 80.

Spot on for the team announced for tonight.

Terrible so far.

Wow that was a horror show.4 mistakes from mcguire so far,abysmal.not the only one too and penalties galore,amazing we still have a glimmer of hope.

Looks like all the poor work they did against Hudds last week has not been addressed.

Some stupid errors, but Hull out played us in that half. Hope we get it sorted at half time.

Shambolic, Sinfield and Maguire in particular, Aiton and Ward not too far behind.

Terrible performance so far. First period of pressure defended ok but too many silly penalties and mistakes. The attack is dire, no structure or movement and support runs. Not many bright points. Mags is dire as is Aiton but they are not on their own

We touched the ball once in the first 11 minutes and then we get the ball and a chance to build pressure and toss it away on the 2nd or 3rd tackle.story of the half.Hull good,but we have let them play

On a positive hardaker is better than last week. How that last penalty was a tackle in the air I will never know

Managed to tighten up the defence towards the end of the half, they didn't really threaten after the 2nd try....but we've been so impatient in attack, playing like we've only got 5 mins left of the game throwing it about recklessly. Silverwood has been giving away some soft calls (for both sides). Seem to be trying the left side more often when we've gotten in their half, but Watkins (a standout amongst a poor team showing) and Achurch since he came on look threatening so perhaps we should be trying that side a bit more.

Brian Carney the only voice of sense. The thing is Hardaker fell whilst catching one earlier as he collided wih a Hull player mid-air.

It's finally happened - we now have to give opponents a 40 minute head start, that's how vastly superior we are to some of these other teams.
