Thought you played really well and thought at one point you were going to win. You will do well with Smith he was great at Hull and I'm sure he will do same for you. Wish we had him Radford is useless. Good luck for rest of season

I agree they all looked fine on the highlights to me.

I think we had a fantastic first half and a poor second half. Our completion rate in the 2nd must have been woeful, we kept wasting possession. Considering this wasn't our first choice team with some key players out, including what we believe to now be our first choice half back pairing and full back I am confident.

If Smith had selected differently then we could well have won this game.

I thought Hull FC were clearly the better team yesterday yet we were strong enough in defence to stay in it. We could still have nicked it too.

Extra plaudits too for all the tackles holding the ball up over our line

I'm feeling confident going into the Middle 8s. Brian just needs to decide on his starting thirteen.

P.S. Agreed Ellis was immense yesterday.

Great stats Tansey

Obviously didn't include him kicking the ball 100 metres to score to be fair, am I right in thinking he missed touch with the penalty (Really key moment was that)

He was playing in an unfamiliar position though so Tansey won't have that problem for long.
He played ok considering the position and lack of game time he's had.

I'd be ok with him in centre or on wing.


Walker grew on me through the game too. I thought he looked a bit over weight at first but he stayed on the field a long time as we didn't have enough props and the stats show he made good yardage on his runs.
It's not like we've found the next Peacock but I think he'll be ok for us.
Assuming we are not keeping Kirke I'd be happy with keeping Kavanagh too.
