I think the difference was that you probably didn't get enough points to show for your dominant periods in the game. You were the better side for large swathes of the match but only had ten points to show for it. Alot of that was down to our defence, but at the same time I thought you were just a bit negative in attack. This was typified by the two or three times you were in our 30 and opted to simply drill the ball over the touch line on the last. It's not like Warrington, and the overly structured attack played into Hull's hands a bit.
Everyone talked about Hull's massive pack and how they might struggle on a big pitch in the warm weather. But they are extremely well conditioned as well, and these late shows have been a feature of our game all season. 10 points is nothing when a side build a head of steam like Hull did. Did the injuries play a part, well yes in those conditions they had to have done, but you probably should have has the game under control before Gidley went off.
The effort from your boys was outstanding, I just think that the next time you play in a game like that (and with that squad it won't be far away) you've got to play to your strengths a bit more. You are not Wigan.
