You scored only 6 points with two sets of 18 tackles on our line and 84 play off the balls to our 53 in The 2nd half that should give you the answer why you are not winning these game.

The best team won, pure and simple, Yeaman pulled of 5 or 6 textbook ankle tackles on Collis which stunted any threat from Fox out wide. Horne and Holdsworth were dominant but for me, the dilatory play of Smith again at fullback was again disappointing. Tightening up our defence after 20 minutes when our opponents had crossed three times was too little too late. No complaints on the night.

Our defenders were often guilty of not playing to the whistle, instead choosing to wait for decisions on obstructions (dodgy ones at that). Schoolboy stuff I know, but true all the same. The Hull defence was excellent all night though, suspiciously, very quick off the mark. Deffo missed Poore last night, and all our plays were very easy to read. Never mind there,s always next year!

No Leeds are the Bridesmaids in the CC

Yes. You have to have belief look at Wigan FC beating Man City in FA Cup Final today. They are 16 places lower than them with a small squad yet win 1.0, not enough real upsets in RL nowadays.

Maybe it shows why we need poore, our pack leader back, he shows by example and gets the pack going
