One of those afternoons where even just listening to our play on the radio makes you cheeks burn with embarrassment.

4-20 and its not HT yet

We really are the worst team in super league.

well only thing we number 1 on stats is kicking off, we have had plenty practice of that.

Swap Brown and bring on Patton next game.

Point won? Point lost?

Given the choice of Gidley or Brown, I think I would bring Patton in for Gidley.

Well, I'm pleased to find I was a bit overly pessimistic.

Has to be considered a point gained. Sure, we haven't turned the corner or even reached it yet, but a loss after that second-half comeback would have been too much to stomach.

Now, we just have a little something to build on. Defensively, we only conceded one try from a genuine breakdown of our line. We must improve with the ball though, big time.

Brown was terrible. His 1st half was one of disbelief.

Silly errors cost us the win today. If we can eliminate these we could climb up the table. Hull dropped a lot of ball second half mind. If they had played half decent they would have been out of sight.

1st half we were relegation fodder giving away a couple of ridiculous tries, and I was expecting a spanking. But the tide turned second half and our tries seemed to cut through the lack of self-belief. Wire certainly put in a lot of effort second half and suddenly started to click. I am not a fan of Russell but he ran rings around a big heavy Hull pack making very decent ground for us. He was a bit too quick for them as well when close to the line and well worth his hat trick. Gidley looked as though he had placed a bet on Hull to win from the number of errors he made, but he did keep the ball moving in attack. Hill looked pretty tired, Hughes and Westerman were a bit ponderous but I assume a lot of that was due to their tackling stint. Philbin only seemed to come on for the last three microseconds which surely was a mistake when we could have done with some fresh legs for the last 20 minutes. Atkins was a bit of a revelation - I thought we must be trialling a new forward when he kept hammering into the Hull defensive line.

For me it was a point lost because Hull were out on their feet for the last 15 minutes and we missed a relatively easy drop goal attempt late on. And I didn't hear the drum or chanting from the end of the South. It was left to the rest of us to shout Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyd ! as he fluffed a penalty kick and drop goal attempt late in the second half.

Same again next week please.

We don't have a drum, to be honest I think Sneyd felt sorry for you after the way he played against you last season

Knew it would be tight, your team is full of internationals including a few current ones, I had a feeling you would beat us today, but disappointting to lose a 14 point lead, Houghton is massive for us so to take 3 points off you and Wigan away without him in pleasing.

Tough league this year, still think you will make the 8, must beat Leeds next week though.

Sorry about the technical hiccups today. One of our streams dropped out at 245 and a flurry of texts told us it had happened. I hope it did not spoil your enjoyment

Massively.....

pitiful awful garbage

that was the worst Hull side that has visited this ground in years and we scraped a draw.


Also Jack Smith is not a good referee........

I've seen him ref games we weren't involved in and thought Deary me !!!

... but I've given him slack because hes been shot by the Taliban and that should earn you stuff....

but crikey he cant spot anything the game completely passes him by.

even his hand signals are confusing

Yes ,once again some poor unforced handling errors were our downfall helped by some dodgy refs decisions.Luckily something managed to galvanise the team into something much more like the side from last season for the last 25 minutes & a certain amount of confidence returned as we held the ball better.Hopefully,if the team can carry that forward to next Friday we could actually beat Leeds. They need to work on some moves though then everybody is singing from the same hymn sheet, there were times today where some players didn't seem to know what part they were playing. They could & should have won today,considering 2 of Hull's tries were full length breakaways coming from our errors.

Our errors or Browns
