| Quote: Jose Mourinho "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 !!'"
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 .

In fairness Snowy,
A point from the game is a good result for us considering the form we've been in for most of the season.
Had you asked me before the game if a draw was OK I'd have said yes. If you'd asked me 60 minutes into the game if I'd settle for a draw I'd have said yes. If you'd asked me 2 minutes from the end, leading by 6 and attacking their line I'd have said no because from that position we should have won. The dumb football bit is no reflection on the magnificent effort put in during the match but that doesn't stop it from being dumb football. The players knew it when they walked off the pitch and down the tunnel, they looked like they'd lost the game while Hull looked happy to draw.

| I was disappointed going home but contented with the point but more with the first half effort, this was a side willing to go that but further even Mathers looked a different player in defence, just look at what a bit of confidence has done to the lads
well happy now I do feel more relaxed

| Let's not forget it was quite a conversion from Westerman to tie it up!

| PS couldn't do DG on that last tackle cos Hull were up on him so quick.
But maybe we should have done one before that.
Agree with Avenger - 6 up with only minutes left should have drilled ball into touch, took time to form scrum, tackled out the last minute. Dumb last 2 mins, but excellent 78 mins prior to that.

| It was there for the taking but we do need a clock somewhere in the ground so the players know how long is left in the game.Great effort 1 to 17 again you cant ask for more.

There is a clock on top of the old hospitality boxes on the West Terrace.

| Thankful for the point - that could be priceless at the end of the season. Well done to the team and keep it up, so many players are making their critics (including me) eat their words and I'm very pleased they are.

It was dumb not attempting the drop goal 6 points up with 2 minutes to play. Ample opportunity to take the shot - if it's charged down or it missed then fair enough but the team made the wrong decision there
Other than that it was a cracking effort from the lads today.
Ps Sammut would have made the right call ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| I was screaming for the drop goal when it was 14 all. Sykes was set up for it but McShane saw it different and put Scruton in. The conversion took us 6 points up. A one pointer then would have only seen us go 1 point up and we'd have probably lost the game.
There definitely was an opportunity to go for the drop goal again but who's to say it would have gone over? Could have quite easily come off the post and Hull could have gone up the other end to score.
It's that old story of if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.
Just be happy for the 1 point.
