Sneyd ( last tackles plays) and Ellis would make a big difference.

At half time i feared widnes would come back at us on the second half but they didn't have a clue how to break us down

Peformance wise, after the gruelling easter schedule and players we had left, the result was far more important than the peformance

Hopefully by the time we play hudds in two weeks we will have a few bodies back

Good to get a win but that was a dog of a game, the sooner the outdated practice of playing twice at Easter is binned the better! Same happens every year that the Easter Monday games and the round after are slow paced turgid games. The refereeing performance was also a shambles, but not a lot new there!

Still a few better performances from some of the more unsung members of the squad such as Cunningham and Rankin. Even though we will have some players back for the Hudds game we should stick with the players who have stepped up and performed this week. For example I don't want to see Yeaman automatically recalled when Naughton, Michaels, Talanoa and Lineham looked our best 3/4 line we've had this year.

Think that is still to be proven as for the first 7 rounds it didn't seem to make much difference.
But here's hoping.

Agreed.

Not exactly a classic tonight but I'll take the win and the two points.

I suspect the other games this weekend will be similarly poor affairs.

just got back, good win imo, 3 matches in 8 days is a lot and hull look shattered 2nd half but fair play they tackled themselves to a standstill, in attack we still lack spark but all in all a very good win, well played hull

your right but they are still 2/3 weeks away.
We are looking at the same 17 unfortuneately for the Sheffield game unless Sa is injured again but it looked more like cramp

Got bored of:
a) Sky comentators going on about how having rested 6 players Widnes would win the energy game (wrong!)
b) Sky comentators praising the of Messiah Brown and how wonderful he was
c) Sky comentators wishing Widnes would Score/win/etc..

Silverwood was rubbish..
Our attack was not good..
Our Kicking game was poor..
Out sixth tackle play was poor...

But very happy with the win.
Well done Tom Lineham - top Scorer in the league Deserved MoM - didn't make a mistake all game.
Shaul looks very dangerous with the ball in broken play -
Defence was pretty solid - but we really need to think of an attacking strategy - as we don't appear to have one.

Agree. Encouraging, this back line. Let's not break it.

Ellis back means Sa to centre,if Sa stays fit he will do some serious damage.

Turn of the sound and Listen to Blunderside !!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!.... Just turn off the sound?

Sadly actually going is not an an option on Friday night as I am usually working Late or Have my Boys and 6 is not really a good age to do a 300 mile round trip...

A fit Sa is our best centre by a long way.IMO.

yep sa looked good tonight, looked fine at the end also,

Its the 2 points that matter. It was essential we win tonight and we did.

Plenty of effort and commitment from the players but also more than a few mistakes and some poor decision making and we still don't look convincing in attack.

Some of our tries were a bit lucky but at least we took the chances.

Margin could have been greater but for poor refereeing.

Lots of work to do but something to build on and cause for optimism when we get some players back.
