Leeds had 3 kickable chances from penalties against Saints and turned them down, yes you never know if they might have kicked them and how those kicks in turn effect the game from thereon in (even after the first kick0 but there's a very good chance they could have won the game if they had taken the chances.
Making those smart choices in those weather conditions ultimately was the difference between winning and losing.

There was a stat on the Friday night game saying we had only won once in our last 5 visits to Wakey,if so then to grind out 2pts is a very good effort in conditions that didn't suit us like they did last yr arguably.Been reading about the 5th prop scenario,we cant carry another top rated prop as it would be a waste nut we could use Ellis for a stint at prop during a game or start him if one of our props are injured and put Washy in at 13

Looked at the stats, big efforts from efforts from Taylor, Ellis, Houghton (52 tackles) and Watts. All the backs made very useful metres too

Very good defensively only 10 missed tackles and few errors 9, which is amazing in those conditions.

Bench impact is the disappointing one, hopefully Hadley and Bowden will be back next week and youngsters like Masi and Turgut, can put pressure on those bench players to up their game.

Bit odd that seeing as we won there twice last year.

Still its a difficult fixture and one that you can't just turn up to and expect to win so well done Hull for the 2 points.

Someone mentioned above, but i think we could use Ellis as the 5th prop, and either Washbrook or Connor could slot in at 13. I think Connor could be a good player from 13, use as a pivot and then Shaul can be used to support

Apologies if posted but the highlights are on FC Live for free www.hullfclive.tv/# Not the sexiest highlights package but we will take it.

The bench impact was a point i was trying to make given the expected conditions at Wakefield
Great that we won the game but as you say the bench impact was disappointing and i think Masi or Fash should have been given a run.

I thought the rotation worked quite well. Bringing Ellis, Manu and Watts back on for the last 20 did the trick as the impact was clear. Also, having Connor there meant he could jump into cover Shaul without shuffling anyone else around. Worked pretty well, but will be even better with Bowden replacing Thompson IMO if the same is required.

full game on fctv since this morning .. real treat !. its a good win when you look at pitch and playing conditions. also players lost respect for ref -all having a go in last 15 mins. he missed a lot of forward passes on all wakefields attacking /scoring plays. bet the pitch is nearly a write off now after the double header on it !. proper game possible on a decent pitch coming up v cats... real test with 15 k crowd.

It was more a 30/10 wasn't it? Fabulous kick!!

The most pleasing thing for me was our game management. Last season it was well known that we struggled in wet conditions whereas yesterday we were patient, took the points on offer and ground out a very tough but welcome win. Kelly is a tough little cookie and made some really hard tackles and well, Ellis needs cloning because he's simply immense...I was all hot and bothered when he was warming up to go back on in the second half

I think Radders is bob on in his summarisation of Sneyd. He's maturing into a very smart player and I think we're going to get some excellent play from him this season now he's got the creativity of Kelly alongside him.

I'll also be 'man' enough to admit I though it was a mistake to have Connor on the bench considering the weather, but in Radders we trust and he obviously knew that Shaul was having twinges in the hamstring and that the extra back on the bench was needed.

Wish Catalan was this Thursday!!!

Kelly been charged for the high tackle directly before got turned over and hull got penalty taking them downfield for their try to win.

Shame the ref missed it and as it transpires it ended up being a big miss by the ref with hull scoring off the next set.

Think Ashurst was in a bad way by sounds of it. Hopefully he's alright, very underrated. But if luck going your way that.

Enjoyed the game though, two forwards going at it all game.

shame the ref and touch judge missed a clear forward pass in the build up to your try, but hey ho, all evens itself out doesnt it?

Carries a suspension if found guilty of 1-2 matches.
