Mind set of the players is absolutely the coaches domain and he has to take responbility for that, interesting that he still won't own up to his own defficiences but will do the players. good job the fans are still cheering at home!

That was a good old scrap tonight, maybe Leeds got a couple of decisive calls, but the two assistants would have a better view than any of us on the terraces. Speaking as a Leeds fan, I thought it was a well deserved two points having lost two players so early on in the game. From a Hull perspective, I would be worried that you couldn't capililise on our injury woes and go on to win the game. It won't give us any indication as to how the semi will pan out, for me it's still a 50/50' game. Injuries and bans could still influence both teams selections, and because the refs have so many calls to make, they will always play their part. I can't wait for the semi, a sold out ground with so much animosity between the fans means it's gonna be a biggy which ever way you look at it.

Can't agree, Leeds were as dirty as ever and Hick and his assistants gave the result to Leeds, but the points are on the league table. I'd like a copy of the new set of rules Hicks was playing to, it wasn't RL all too often. The Leeds Dan's were as gracious in victory as ever (ie.Not at all) unless we get an unbiased referee I think the RFL (aka Mr Hetherington) will have London hotels booked.

Jesus you're boring at times ..team sports is unexplainable at times. Strange things happen at times..so many variables make it hard to pinpoint..
Since you know everything explain to me how mini and a few others have gone from being key men to liabilities within 3 games after months/years of consistency. How pros can't hold simple passes when unchallenged...now before you go off on 1 about man management etc and this is the bit I really want you to explain to me is given the things I've highlighted which you may want to pin on coach and could explain..how do you tally that up if it's a mindset thing with that Defence. Cos that Defence was pretty unreal at times. And in RL nothing is more honest and a truer marker of mindset than defence.. particularly goal line D

Yep we've become complacent not enough drive in attack from too many players. Is it because their too cozy with the coach? All lads together on a night out. Who is in charge?

Proper Hull tinted specs on from you it would appear . Tough to take for you, but don't make yourself look a total div by getting all dramatic. You lost a game you might have won, but your conspiracy theory is coming across as a bit 9/11 to be honest. Some you win, some you lose, but try not to act like Minichello when you don't get the rub. Makes you look like a little kid.

Which one? The Fonua disallowed try you can clear see Walkers hands all over the ball trying the strip it rather then cover, the out come of that was a 20 metre restart meaning they judge Fonua had lost the ball over the line.

I don't need OJs lawyers for that one but again on Sky that's a different outcome and maybe a game changer.

Not excusing the team tho the 3 weeks now with poor completion rate not good enough for the top 4 but on the other hand we haven't had a 50/50 call in 3 weeks

its done now anyway, think if cameras been there it might have been given, that decision didn't cost us the game not holding the ball did, yes weve lost 3 games but win next 2 and where at Wembley and maybe 4th, the season starts then,

Seriously ! I don't know what you expect him to do with his hands when a 16 stone bloke is about to land on him, but I don't know how you can say he's stripping it from a still image. I would have had no qualms if Hull had won that game, but let's not get silly with still images and conspiracy theories. Enjoy the semi in 2 weeks and let's hope we don't have to debate whether a contentious decision either way decides it.

Heard he's gone for good and won't play again

For me tonight was another game where we snatched defeat from victory by dumb rugby and poor discipline with ball in hand. Too many times have we tried to force the play in our end so when the inevitable error is made it's always in our 20. The passing tonight was for most parts so slow and laboured and very little in the way of dummy runners or running on to the ball at pace more often taking the ball stood still.
As much as I think Sneyd is a decent player he has shown very little since returning to the side. His ball control and kick options tonight were below average at best. There was no or very little direction from Sneyd tonight which was more disappointing then anything. Thought we looked sharper and more dangerous when we had Kelly & Connor in the halves to be honest.
Thought Hicks was pretty poor tonight and certainly didn't get anything off him tonight whereas Leeds got just about everything. That said even with seemingly Hicks giving Leeds majority of decisions we could have and should have won had the 17 on the field applied themselves better and not made stupid errors at crucial times and crucial areas.

48 less play the balls than leeds tells the story
