Not really disappointed as I expected that tonight deep down.

We were never going to win the game after the first 5-10 minutes set the tone. Try disallowed. Hull Player in touch and try given. 2 Knock ons from us immediately, Hull score again, game over.

Positives? Not many.... OH yeah 1 Leeds got hammered with more or less a full side out.

A couple more....
Sam Wood always puts his body on the line
Darnell looked good under the high ball and ran in well
Ollie Roberts put a massive shift in a different position to him

Negatives....cant be d with them all but

RYAN HINCHLIFFE - Can someone please explain for the salary he will be on what he actually offers the team?? At fault for 2 tries tonight, bad news is he is here for another 2 years after this. Rapira also at fault for 1 maybe 2 with stupid passes.

Would I swap Rapira and Hinchliffe to have Kopczak and Jack Hughes backand still probably have money spare - OF COURSE.

Bad thing is if we have this many injuries now and if we lose CRUCIAL games to Leigh next week - which I expect given all the injuries and Leeds 2 weeks after which will be a 50/50 we are back at the bottom of the league and fair to say we are in a massive battle at the bottom of the table again as we have no hope at all of winning games away at Wigan, Cas and Saints have we????

10 players out injured after 3 games something is not right.

When teams break no matter if its a forward or a back then will out pace us and score... us on the attack we get caught after 10 metres.

Really worrying times now over the next few weeks anymore injuries and we are doomed.

Your recruitment can't be as bad as the Rhinos. Remember we knew 3 players were retiring in 2015 and made no effort to sign any player of sufficient calibre. Now we have at least 3 players ready for the scrap yard (McGuire, JJB, Delaney) who will try to see the season out and there will be no attempt to recruit players of quality. See you in the middle eights.

Can't see his foot there tbh-
We did find out that hull fans had obviously just learnt a new word. icon_rolleyes.gif
Sam wood is going to be a great player. Tyler Dickinson too.
That having 8 first team players out is going to mean a difficult night.
Best we can hope for is taai back next week. Hope Leroy and Gaskell make it back too!

The Hull players boot is the same colour as his jersey. The boot can be seen just above the tacklers waist and almost fully over the touch line.....

Would like Rick Stone to release a statement today of who is injured, how long for and who is back next week.

If Cudjoe and Gaskell still had slight niggles we did right leaving them out as even with them 2 we were never going to win that game. Next week is more winnable but only if we get 5 players back.

Jerry is the biggest loss by far

I don't think the young lads particularly let anyone down last night. We just lacked any real strike in attack, dropped too much ball and gave away too many penalties. We gifted Hull too many tries and they ran away with it in the end.

I think both Woods and Dickinson played well. Also thought Wakeman stood up last night. Sam Wood seems very vocal which has to be a good thing in a young team.

I agree about injuries I've hardly seen anything in the papers confirming anything. If it wasn't for this forum I'd have no idea what was going on! Im assuming Gaskell had a tight hammy or similar as he was out there for the warm up.

Gaskell had a irregular heartbeat mate and had a fit in training earlier in the week, not good! Could end up not playing again.

Don't let total BS get in the way of a good story. Only all of our run on pack (- Parcell) plus Burrow and Briscoe. So that's just 7 of our starting 13.

God awful game to watch. Even if the score had been close our defence is currently shocking and our attack is as boring as always. We are stood still in the defensive line all game.
I can't think of much positives from last night. I'm stuck to think of one. I don't think our effort dipped too much and our fullback caught the ball better.

Hull out played us. Injuries, playing a young side and a dodgy first try aren't good enough excuses for that showing.

Back to the drawing board... hopefully with a brand new game plan that can at least entertain the fans.

Is this the same Ryan Hinchcliffe who made 37 tackles and ran for 107 metres. By far our highest tackler and by far the highest metre maker in the forwards.

Some of the stuff i've seen posted on facebook is shocking and ridiculous, people saying they want their money back and won't attend another game this year etc, jeez people get a reality check, we were playing against a very good side who came pretty close to having a near perfect season last year, with all our regular back line and most of our forwards, our captain and vice captain, one of the best wingers in the world, probably our best forward this year and our generally most experienced players missing.

If anyone went to that game expecting us to win or came away angry and mad at what they saw then i'm afraid your expectations are way too high.

Losing Gaskell before kick off also hampered us - we had a full back making his senior debut, a centre with 4 career appearances moved to the wing, a 2nd row with 1 previous appearance moved to the centre, another centre with 10 super league games, and 3 of our bench who had 26 appearances between them.

It was always going to be damage limitation and i thought the last 20 minutes they showed some grit and determination to score twice and keep the scoreline down when it looked like it was gonna be a huge one.

Darnell went well and looked safe, as did Ormsby, be quite happy with these 2 in the future, thought Hinchy did well apart from his brainfart pass, made some good metres for us and we needed his defence in the middle without Bruno.
Mikey Wood impressed me too and seemed to get through a fair bit of tackling.

Not too bothered as it was a game most of us had written off anyway and was a bit of experience for the young lads, onto Leigh now.
