In most games this season i’ve always thought we were in with a shout with this current team with their different mindset. However last night i never thought we had it in us to claw it back and win. This also happened in the CC final at Wembley. Perhaps it shows us really where we are. I mean, we beat Saints & Wigan so it was always going to be a tough ask to be KR as well. But without degrading those last two wins we beat a poor Saints side that haven’t won in ages and played Wigan when they have hit a bump in their season. Like i say, take nothing away from the boys but we played both of them at the perfect time. Then we play KR who are flying at the moment and unlike Wigan & Saints, they came with a game plan and shut down Williams all night. They also closed us down quickly and you could see they were up for it more than us.
It seems we can beat anybody on our day but when a team comes with a decent game plan we still struggle similar to the CC final. We need to realise that we are a good team and im over the moon about how its gone so far this season but talk of GF contenders to me is still a bit off. I think we will be there or there abouts come the playoffs but still lots of work to do.
Player wise i thought Currie was poor early on. Williams, as stated about was shut down all night therefore made a ton of errors and poor last tackle plays.
Walker frustrates me as he does some great things but also costly brain farts at vital moments.
Thought Ashton was great.

If anyone thinks adding king to the team last night would make a difference, I don't see it.

We were beaten by a better team, and as others have said (as has Burgess) we'll learn from it.

12,000 and odd. Credit to KR, they really brought a following for a Friday night from 'ull and outsang us all night.

Joe Burgess would’ve had a cracking weekend. I thought he played very well on Friday night and then no doubt spent Saturday afternoon cheerfully lobbing bricks at a hotel in Hull. Hope he’s got his feet up today.

Hey Wire have been a breath of fresh air under Sam Burgess I've enjoyed watching you. You are 3rd at worst this year and I'm not saying it won't be even better.

If we are to meet again this season it will be in the play offs ..or maybe even the GF. Hasta la vista.

Burgess said in his pre game interview with Sky that both King and Philbin were fit, they were just left out. Said Fitzgibbon is a week or two away.
