Hull are consistently inconsistent and appointing someone who has been around that set up was never going to change that.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if they turn round and beat Wigan next week.

The relegation battle looks like it could have legs. Fundamentally, losing 6 points has to all but relegate Bradford, but they shouldn't be the 13th best team in the comp the rest of the way given their signings.

As daft as it sounds, if Bradford get on a run, I don't think you can rule out the slim possibility of Warrington or Hull doing a Wigan 07 and getting somehow drawn into the fight.

The big three and the bottom one aside, this is as close a comp as we've had in the Summer era, even if the overall quality is more Asda than Waitrose.

I have a bit of a soft spot for the bulls, hoping they make up the points and avoid relegation, we play them next week so expecting a tough game.

As for the Huddersfield/Cas game are we absolutely sure Danny Broughs drop goal went over between the posts.

The coach of any team who loses at home to the “Whipping Boy Rabble” that is Wakefield deserves to be shown the door.

I fully expect us to beat Wigan and then put in another lethargic performance the week after. That's just what we do and what we have done for years now. We are really good at backing up a poor performance with a really good one, but a couple of weeks later and we are getting turned over by a bottom 3 team again. It's infuriating being a Hull fan.

Parallax!

That is stretching it a tad....he's played 8 tests for the Kiwis...beating wales, France, Scotland.....he's not even first choice at the Warriors and we sit 13th on the NRL table........he's an average player that will be on more money at Salford because the owner hasn't a clue.

Other than that...it was a great weekend!

The usual reckless, off the wall analysis from the gutter man.

Locke is not average; he is a very good player. The judgment of NZ Warriors owners Eric Watson and Owen Glenn, and many others, is that Sam Tomkins is a better player, which is why he has replaced Locke at full back.

The best part of the weekend was the victory of the Catalans despite the absence of several of their key players.

One hopes that Thomas Bosc, and eventually Scott Dureau, along with Elliot Whitehead and Ian Henderson, will return to lift Catalans to at least a top six position, if not a top four position.

Being called "off the wall" by a snake oil salesman like you is a tad rich.

Are you all pussyfooting around Marwan then. Salford could easily get dragged into it too.

Salford are as close to third as they are to relegation.
