Haha what a win does eh?

Having reflected on the match yesterday, a few things spring to mind.

This team can play, as they did in the last 15 minutes - it's a mystery to me why they were able to switch it on then but it does show what they can do.

Tanginoa was his most effective for ages, but only when he played out wide where he should be.

Ashurst - the best game this season I reckon.

DF was a marked man all the match but his second spell was the catalyst I think for our revival.

Miller and Lino, were unremarkable most of the match but there when it mattered.

For me, the jury is out on Gaskill at FB, but I will say he took the high balls and he took his try well.

Something to build on - now they have to do it more comfortably against wire.

Game already on Trinity Tv l

Any news regarding Reece's injury?

Just skip forward to 60 minutes

Thought whitebread was outstanding!!

Although the situation is massively different, it felt like that win at Bradford all those years ago, which gave us a slim chance of staying up.

This time there still half a season to go but, we had been struggling like hell for weeks.

Our defence has been ok but, with ball in hand we have been poor, just as we were yesterday for 60 minutes.



Onwards and upwards. Already looking forward to next week

A couple of comments about not playing till the end. Although I see why, I would describe it differently.

We played 80% well all the way through the game and stepped it up when Dave came back on.

By 80% I mean we defended well and we made big yards down field. We kept the ball much better than we had been and 80% of what we needed to do we did well.

BUT, we also let ourselves down in the key moments.

Not just him but an example is pressing their line for two sets nearly getting over the line twice and then step in touch catching the next drop out.



Ultimately, we won the game because when Hull were dominant in the first half we kept them within reach, which meant a fight back was possible.

Fifita was outstanding today. Ashurst and Whitbread had great games too.

Batch and Crowther stepped up well having to play out of position too.

Not heard anything about Vera ? Could jack croft replace him if injured he’s ready to go!!

Max at F/B, Gaskell at centre is another option.

My MOM was Jay Pitts, despite one big error, he tackled his heart out and made yards in the first half when we were struggling.

Croft for me too. Maybe Gaskell at a push but hopefully stay away from Minns.

Croft for me also, reckon he’s busting a gut.

When we let the high ball bounce in the first half, the effort from Wakey to scramble and stop the try was phenomenal. I was watching from the flats, it was a dead set try but for the work rate from our defenders.

Minns is injured.
