For perspective we lost by 60 points last year there and we should and maybe could have won against a strong Leeds side at home.


Disappointing but we already miles ahead of where I thought we would be and still alot ro play for this year.

Very true

Absolutely, next 4 games are Leigh, Catalans, Cas and Salford all of which are winnable so chances to get back to winning ways.

Gutting to lose it at the death. We certainly didn't deserve to come away without the points.


Great effort as always but it's still four defeats in a row.



Key was that spell including Croft's tackle on Briscoe and two or three sets in their 25 which we couldn't convert to points.


Really impressed with Eseh, Cust, Hardaker tonight. Zak is probably in our top three players in the season so far. Good to see.

I'd keep Eseh if possible, think he will get better and better, just needs some stability and gametime.

Definitely feels like a kick in the b.ollocks tonight ..... Defeat like that hard to take. ...... Glad to hear Rapana ok .....

We say it every week but we are absolutely crying out for some second row presence back. Really like Hardaker and how hard he works but he's just not a threat at the line.
Our red zone attack will improve greatly once we get Cartwright and Lane back. I feel defences at the moment simply don't worry about our 2nd row and know that the dummy runners are just exactly that, and can afford to ignore them and just keep sliding preparing for the ball out the back. Cartwright will 100% put doubt in the defences mind and attract defenders, giving us the space on the edge.
Had enough good ball to still win that game around the 65 minute mark and just didn't look create enough. Too much trying to power over and when we did spread it it was just easily covered.

Desperate for some bodies back, played virtually with two subs, Fash seemed to play about 10 minutes and Rapana injured. That last set for the try they went the full length in 5 tackles,, we looked gone.

The problem is, we can't do anything about it, if they're out injured. We have to go with what we've got in reserve. We're doing it tough right now and it's not gonna get any easier in the next two away games.

Still plenty of race left to go though, and we certainly look like a team that's gonna fight for one of those play-off spots. I think most of us would have taken that at the start of season. Who knows what we could do if we got our strongest 13 on the field.

Custs best moments was running from dummy half and his defence. I'd be looking at playing him 9 with Bourouh, Pryce to 6 and Rapana to 1.

That's very dependent on Rapanas injury, will definitely miss next week and Zac back at centre.


But something to think about for the future.

Thibk every Hull fan would have taken that in pre season.
