I'd have took this score after 20 minutes could see 100 being broken

I'm sure you weren't alone. I was thinking 100 as well. 26-0 for the last hour? Not that bad

I thought it was just me, I'm far from impressed with Sio up to now. Did Blair come out for the second half? I don't recall seeing him or hearing his name. We need him back in the second row ASAP.

Sio isn't doing enough for me. Stays on his wing and gets involved when there might be a try in it. Seems a lazy player to me.
Blair isn't a stand off while I have a hole in my , second row he is outstanding at. He was not in the team second half btw.

Injured? Or rested?

Unfortunately injured I think.

Jesus what are we Hull fans?

Maybe. It's understandable to a degree tonight. The ghost of Sandercock appeared tonight and we all thought those days were over.

The stark contrast in home & away performances is becoming a little tiresome now.

You were happy with that then?

Realistically unless somebody pours in a ton of cash consistently over several years, there will some be results like this in any season. We had a few tonkings under Morgan too, even after 2007.

The line that is often trotted out about the only difference between the top teams and the rest being consistency, is rubbish imo. The top teams' performances are just as inconsistent as everybody else's, but around a higher average level, so their results are consistently better. If we play well and they're not at their best, we might well win a close game. If they play well and we're below par - blowout.
The harsh reality is that there's pretty big gap to bridge to a club like Wigan and from time to time that'll show through with painful clarity.

But, don't we have someone pouring in tons of cash? Fuckknows where we'd be if he stopped.

Has anyone heard why the players listed in the press were missing? no mention of injuries yesterday morning, I had expected a close game & had a small bet on us on handicap so to switch on & find a diferent side on the field was a supprise to say the least, I thought the RFL have rules about changing players at the last minuet. I just find it odd that no one has mentioned any reason for the changes.

Massive round of applause for those fans who made the journey over..

Campese and larroyer were injured just prior and during the warm up. So seemed to be a lot of last min changes.

And that is why we are in SL. Not in SL is where we'd likely be without it. Some other clubs have bigger supports and/or even wealthier benefactors. And Top 4 incumbency, which helps no doubt.

I think the cap, while certainly helping with competitive balance, lulls some into thinking all the clubs are competing on a level financial playing field.

For any of the clubs just targeting top 8 in a 12 team league, a good few losses, including a handful of heavy ones are to be expected. Dispiriting, but not surprising.

I'd like to think the appointment of Jamie Peacock, is a sign that we're trying to kick on to that next level. But equally, I'd guess Hudgell and Crossland are closer to the end of their time in charge than the beginning. We'd be wise to enjoy the bits we can for as long as we can. Hopefully we'll have a few back for Wakefield and our home form will get us a result.
