Watching Watkins with those 2 breaks reminded me of Ellery Hanley, power,pace and swerve

True. As poor as we were first half we tightened up after the 2nd Pryce try on 25 mins and they didn't get near our line afterwards. Most of the rest of that half was spent in there half with us throwing away possession. Remember thinking at halftime that only a 12 point gap represented a underwhelming deal for how dominate Hull had been.

I thought exactly the same. Shaul is one of the quickest in the comp and he left him for dead.

Stick a fork in HullFC were done, one decent win against Huddersfield and a credible display against Wire and thats our 2015 season over. Crowd's confidence is on its knees, our squad is a mixture of average no-hopers and geriatric former stars.

I accept Leeds really turned it on in that 2nd half, but we've been mediocre for years and badly need an experienced coach to turn things around.

I thought this season would be one to many for Leeds, based on that performance I was woefully wrong .

What a fantastic 2nd half from Leeds, from the young & the old.

I watched it on mute, listening to that seventies homage thingy, but as the half went on I found myself compelled to watch a near flawless display.

Leeds fans are so lucky to support a team of such quality, because it’s basically luck where you’re born right?, unless of course you’ve changed your allegiance along the way, which doesn’t have the same allure, because it’s basically second hand support, not the real thing.

To me you need an overhaul and have done for a while. You can't build a team around mental midgets like Westerman, Sneyd and Pryce and expect to compete over a season. Add in a big, strong, lazy set of props and a weak bench, and a 12 year old as a coach and it's recipe for complete mediocrity.

Why wasn't any of this match officials fault?

It's usually the default reason.

I think Hull's problem is that they've never really even tried to build a team. They've just signed players each season and hoped they'd do ok rather than investing in and building a team for the long term. Personally I think the biggest mistake they made was not to build a team around Richard Horne as captain 10+ years ago. He could've been Hull's Sinfield/O'Loughlin/Wellens/Briers

Don’t talk to me about endurance, I’ve had forty odd years of it, with a highlight of a C.C final on my Rugby League C.V.

Paid your dues, I’m practically bankrupt .

I'd love to see how many missed tackles there were in that half.

The flapping of hands at tackles (when they got anywhere near the players because the gaps were so huge) was embarrassing. The gaps were idiotic. No attempt to wrap the ball. Leeds to abliterated us. It was like watching the Huddersfield play off game again.

Just how do you correct that?

Westerman didn’t miss, was it put on report, because it looked to have more malice than say, the Ah Van incident .

Maybe Hull players should spit their dummy at refs over knocks on they have 'seen' more often....

I agree there hasn't been a plan to build a team for a long long time. We are still reeling from Cooke walking out on us in 2007 and never replacing him properly!

that said to build a team you first need a competent coach, and we haven't actually had a proven head coach since McRae joined us via the Gateshead merger in 2000, since then we've only had assistants (Kear, Sharp, Agar, Gentle and now Radford)

Radford in.
