I felt we were a bit hard done to today and a couple of bounces of ball the other way could have won. Which is nice because the last 3 losses have felt completely justified.
Effort was there today and this showed in the (majority of the) defence. Attack wise we still look a little clueless for most of it, which is annoying when you see potential there such as the first try - we just seem to forget how to do it!
I fully expect us to make it a run of 5 next week but those who think that might have gentle worried about his future; get a grip, it's 5 losses. I'm not saying our form or improvement/lack of improvement is acceptable but if you think a run of 5 losses will mean "bye-bye" then you're dafter than I thought.
Our big problem IMO is the cohesion/thinking ahead/running for each other you see in the better clubs. This can be attributed a lot to confidence, but is also a general marker of the "happiness" of the team. It is very small margins in this game and the difference isnt much between a well oiled machine and a bag of spanners. Something isn't quite clicking, but if we can find that missing something then we have the squad to do things. As it is, bags of spanners all round.

yes, thanks for your interest, you can go now and celebrate your teams march towards superleague superiority

One thing that is annoying, we have scored early first the last three games, and still lost.

Watch the Ellis tackle on the TV before the O'Meley try clear head contact although clumsy not deliberate and the rule is quite clear a penalty should be awarded.

Two weeks ago we had one chalked off against Saints when Ady Gardner slipped into one of our props Stuart Cumins explained the rule on sky 'Bent' 'Ham' was bad for both sides not just us and he saved you three tries by spotting forward passes which is unusual for him !!!!

Spot on. As long as misguided praise is heaped on our local England no 9 candidate no doubt we'll continue to play slow disjointed rugby. Houghton: great guy , tries ljke mad , scoots well , tackles well for 70 minutes , can't pass.

3 forward passes that were correctly called, yet he still missed a couple of blatent ones from your team

As well as constant holding down, markers not square, couple of head high shots of yours he failed to give - he was awful for BOTH teams today, no point trying to make out either side were harder done by cos they weren't.

And Crabtrees shoulder charge.

I think the overall piece of the jigsaw is Horne.. We've dropped in attack drastically ever since he got injured.

so you were squeaky clean today?

who's the one trying to make out they were harder done too!? giants were just as bad as hull in all the above!

Not at all, we never are, no team is - my point was that the officials gave bad calls against BOTH teams, neither team really benefitted from these calls more than the other IMO, The calls against you didnt cost you the game, neither the ones against us didnt cost us, we won the game in the end through you having a try disallowed (rightly) for offside and us going up the other end and scoring. Whether decisions earlier would have or have not led to tries for either team is debatable for both sides.
