Went away for the weekend straight after the game, so I'm commenting a bit late, but... credit to Hull, they were terrific on attack for part of that first half and on defence for most of the game. We seemed like rabbits in the headlights for the first hour but when we had nothing to lose we started to play with some freedom and as the tries came you could see belief flood back. I think we'll have learned a lot from that game. Came away proud as hell of the lads.

It bodes well for the rest of the season. The flip side of the injuries is that Davies, Marshall, Wells, Forsyth and Shorrocks have all had valuable game time at a point in time when it doesn't really matter. If they are required at the business end of the season, I'm sure SW will be confident that any one, or all, will do a job.

I was impressed by the attacking threat of Gregson. He hit the gap well and brought something different to Isa who was hitting the man.
