We gave everything out there .no half backs depleted squad and some on here are moaning cos we got beat by the best team in the comp,.as for Mikey Lewis best half back we have in this country by a mile I'd have him tomorrow great player..expect another defeat next week and the week after

I think he was a level above today. Probably our best player. 

We were never going to win with that team, so what's wrong with a plucky loss? They gave everything, apart from tai who was terrible, so that's all you can ask for.

I remarked it was a plucky loss as I thought it would be earlier in the week. Not sure what you are reading in to that. 

I'd have him here tomorrow it's just what we need...and one reason why hull kr will wallop us at wembley...

I really don't get last night


I understand the "resting" of individuals. All our eggs are in the Challenge Cup basket. I've more chance of a candlelit, lamb naganzi supper with Susanna Reid, than we have winning SL this year, but that was just 2 points tossed away with disdain. HKR weren't THAT special. 


On our opening couple of sets, we showed a little enterprise. After that, just driving through the middle, which was a battle we were never going to win.  Bar them taking the ball up, I don't recall our wingers with the ball in their hands, apart from Thewlis' fall over try.


Don't get me started on the two PNGians. What a waste of shirts,  especially  the "forward".


Our recruitment is lousy. 


All's not lost, though. 
I'm still reasonably confident for the final. 
Six years ago, we beat a team that was far superior to us, at the time.  Let history repeat itself. 

We will be rightful underdogs but we do have a chance at Wembley, but I think we would need Vaughan, Fitz, Williams, Sneyd to all play - and play well. 


We desperately need to sort our edge defence though. 


Hull KR were not "all that " last night. 

We'll win at Wembley. Nothing last night is much to fear especially once we have the 4 or 5 back we need.


Our wide defense is horrible though, we need to fix that. There were four or five occasions there where it ended up about 3 on 1.

As the video of Chris Sandow showed ,the highlights were amazing & he had his hands firmly on the Wire tiller in our good performances.
I think it's fair to say that HKR have two genies at the minute in Lewis & May. We need to keep both of them quiet at Wembley to have a chance. I thought Wood had a good game last night ,solid as usual, & needs to be made Musgrove's replacement officially.

I like Wood, I think he can switch off a bit defensively, but he's not the only one. This is his chance. 

I often wonder why it looks like we are playing with 12 men when the ball is moved quickly to our edges.
