Think I said on the Hull board a couple of weeks ago, you will avoid the drop with a couple of to spare, great move getting Smith in and some tidy recruitment.

I'm amazed Leeds didn't get him on board, shambles of a club at the moment, although I think they will stay up.

London will go down IMO.

Enjoy the win, certainly deserve it after some stick you have taken this year.

Fingers crossed about Smith - he is my big hope to change our fortunes for the better. Mind, I don’t want to downplay what Sheens did either.

I’m glad we don’t have to play Hull again this year, which is intended as a compliment. I hope we get to next year again though! Looking a little bit more likely now.

Me too don't enjoy derbies.

Thought to mention Quinlen, makes such a difference, so good with ball in hand, a bit bigger he would be playing in the NRL still

Your lads played great tonight, no danger of going down on that performance.

Matt Parcell and Quinlan was excellent. The forwards dominated their opposite numbers. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Did Atkin get on? I doubt Smith will get the stick Sheens did, if not.

I think the Atkin thing is done he played the last couple of games and we realised we weren’t missing that much after all

Initial opinions on Livett and Johnson?

Ahhhhh. So THAT'S what a hooker looks like! I had got so used to a hooker being the one in the team that was there to slow the game down and just run a couple of metres then get tackled.

I meant, as well, leaving any player unused on the bench. With fewer interchanges, there will sometimes be a case for having a back there solely to cover injuries. Though, given the way we set up yesterday it would have involved some juggling if a centre or wing had gone down, I admit.

We’d lost our way a bit, and a worrying number of games, under Sheens this year, but he ended up being criticised for some stuff rather harshly, imo.

On Atkin specifically, he is still a valuable member of the squad - just because he isn’t a saviour, doesn’t make him useless.

Thought both went well last night. Hopefully we can extend the loan periods as it will benefit both us and them if they get game time instead of kicking their heels back over the wrong side of the Pennines.

I think Atkin brings something the frustration of watching the slow plodders at hooker all season and Atkin not getting a game when it was crying out for someone with a bit of zip turned him into this messiah who was going to save us not his fault I understand he couldn’t be brought on last night but Parcell hadn’t played for a while not that you’d have noticed but was probably there to spell him but wasn’t needed in the end

can we keep them ,hard to believe the lad johnson is only 20 and mixing it in a hull derby very promising, livett a very good versitile player with plenty in his locker,without the initial hysteria of a derby victory based on the 2 games played so far they have been a bonus for us only having a thin squad

They've both looked promising i think, prefer to see Livett in the 2nd row rather than through the middle though but he's a talented player for sure. Johnson defo one for the future too

What do you think? Promoing in a word
