Good game to watch last night IMO, however both sides look mid-table at best and a better side would have run riot with the amount of errors/wrong options both sides took.

I didn't expect us to win and we didn't so I guess I shouldn't be disappointed.

12 -0 isn't a big lead to drop these days in Super League as many games will show you, the amount of "come backs" that seem to occur now is amazing.

We played a Hull side full of great players, who had their backs to the wall and were desperate to win to save their coach.

The results this weekend and previous weeks just show that perceived quality and top-team status mean nothing if the other side come out all guns blazing, determined to get the result. Warrington lost to Catalans, Wigan got trounced by Catalans, Leeds lost to Hull KR and it wouldn't surprise me if Quins lose to Wakey today.

The league is unpredictable and we're sitting right in the middle of it, still in touch with the teams above us with the hope of half a team returning from injury to look forward to.

Lets hope we can get a win at Salford to help get everyone up for the Leeds game.

After watching Bradford lose 30-6 and 26-0 leads in recent seasons I can assure you that 12-0 isn't even a ripple on the lake.

While I didn't really expect us to win before the game after going 12-0 up I'd have hoped we'd have the mental toughness to go on and win it. It seems that we revert to "dumb football" whenever we're put under pressure. Why do we suffer from this mental weakness? Is it due to bad habits being allowed to take hold under the old regime? Or are some players simply not good enough?

I can't work out what's happening with Ian Sibbit this season, he's seems unable to stop giving away penalties and is something of a liability at the moment. Similarly Elliott Whitehead is already halfway to making the same number of missed tackles as he made in the whole of 2010 and he's already made the same number of errors as he made in the whole season. There's something amiss in his performances there.

Ok so i said it wouldn't suprise me if Quins lose to Wakey.......I didn't expect 52-32 to Wakey!

We finish the weekend in 8th, very much a mid table side.

Now comes the task of facing a Salford side who will be smarting from a 52-20 battering at the hands of Cas and desperate to put in a performance in front of their home fans.

There are no easy fixtures in Super League!

Indeed there are not.

As the current league leaders found when they came to our place recently. Still the only team to beat them after nine rounds...

The stupid penalties and lack of respect for the ball really hacked me off on Friday! Chev Walkers second effort on the last tackle was criminal! Anyway this isn't my moan about the game my moan about the game comes from the toilet that was sat behind me, every time Herbert touched the ball the guy was on his back saying how $h*te he was and that he creates nothing, his kicking is poor, we would be a much better team without him etc etc why would you bother going to the game if your going to be like that? Especially considering he had a hand in 3 of the tries friday (I think) I hope he wasn't from this board as the guy knows jack about Rugby League and I was embarrassed for him!

At times we defend better than we have in recent years. But it seems to me there's two things we are completely unable to stop doing, allowing the opposition players to offload and giving penalties away. It seems like we're not really learning at all when it comes to those two things. Our scrambling and general defence is much better than last year I feel, but there are still certain parts of it that need sorting if we want to start winning more games.

There's definite improvement there from the previous years, but we're not quite there yet.

My problem with the defence is the edge defending. We look fairly strong up the middle, damn strong in fact I'd say. There's just that bit of brittleness on the edges where teams seem to enjoy exploiting us.

Of course, you have new partnerships and understandings, which I fully accept, and I have total faith it will improve, but that's the area I think we look abit short at the minute.

Deffo agree with you there pal
