| Can we get back to the subject !!!!!
Can't believe we didn't go for the 1 point especially as there was a break in play for an injury.
2 minutes left in front the sticks last play - what were they thinking !!??
Easy to say it doesn't matter if they don't go 100 metres and score and convert a try but that was a big error even by our standards.
That's said, I thought it was the best defensive performance of the season and at least there was a lot of effort and determination out there.
Big wrap to the forwards and thought Moore and Tautia were very effective.
Left the game very disappointed not due to the last minute try but by dumb rugby at the end !!

| Lots of fans around me and me included were screaming drop goal but I'm happy with the point we gained because it wasn't guaranted Sykes would have scored it.

| Brain dead play not to go for the one point. The effort was great but the game was there for the taking and that is a point lost due to poor game management.

It was 0-0 at that point. From that play we offered no threat and then gave a penalty away on Hulls next set. They scored there try from that. Mathers scored after all that.

| Sykes had to pass the ball because he did not receive it early enough, the defender was on him too quickly, not sure if he was offside to get there that quick
too busy watching for the dg.

We had 17 tackles on their line during that phase, 9 were within drop goal range and position but we didn't make a single attempt.
Failing the drop goal, we should then have kicked to touch, or just put the ball to their winger then penned them in a corner, kicking it touch in goal gifted them 30 metres of field position against a back peddling defensive line.

If you say so fair enough, I was just saying it as I saw it.

Not looking for an argument mate, just saying we were a bit naive in closing the game out, hope we learn from it.

| Did we look like we were going for a drop goal in the last minute at Widnes. Widnes held back and Sykes saw the gap and scored a try.
From where I was a drop goal looked a certain but Sykes might have seen it different

| It's all conjecture, if for example he had gone for one point when the scores were level we could have lost. They didn't and we scored to extend the lead to 6 points.

I think the op was talking about the dg after we went 6 points' up.

| Can't be unhappy with the one point.
I think they were expecting the one point when we scored our last try, which is where the gaps came up.
Yes, they scored tries from our mistakes, but we scored two tries from their mistakes - Lynne's length of the field was a poor kick on the last and the second try was a kick that should have been cleared by the defence - its not remarkable that mistakes lead to tries.
It was a great game of rugby today. Game of three periods in the first half. Awesome defence in the first twenty minutes.
Ryan puts his body on the line every game - think he's broken that left arm at least ten times this season.
So many ifs and buts - if Owen had caught that pass in the first half, if Hull hadn't have got a fingertip on the pass to Riley in the second half, but frankly great game, great effort.
I was shouting for the one point from twenty minutes out, even before our last try, and am gutted they didn't take it with a minute to go, or go for another set, or a scrum, but hey at this rate, let Bradford spend hundreds of thousands on appeals - they're still going down!!
Great effort lads, lets keep going….

please explain at what part was there any dumb rugby, drop goal wasn't a guarantee the lads put them selves about an and endured 20 mins constant pressure on our own line in the first half, what do you really want from the club

| Nowt to do with the drop goal that wasn't , but our first conversion missed ( I'd like to see Hulls try in the first half too - looked like Lynn had made a try saving tackle to me ) so chuffed to bits with a point tbh .
