Came over to applaud the Hull fans again, when it would be easy to slope off after a defeat.
I know he's not done much since scoring 5 at Wembley but I'd bring him home in a heartbeat if there was an open spot. His strength would really suit how we use our backs.

When was the last time sneyd kicked at 25%?
If we ever actually put am 80 minute performance in we'll take some beating but we still have these periods in games where we switch off mentally
Mini, manu and hadley made a massive difference tonight
2 kicks from 5 makes that's 40% or did you forget the successful drop goal He was holding his foot late in the game, don't know if it was the same one he injured last year, winder if that had anything to do with it earlier in the game?
I thought leeds were pretty average and they would be much better with garbutt, singleton and sutcliffe in their side but we still struggled to put them away. At 14 nil we were completely on top and then we switch off again and suddenly find ourselves back pedalling and unable to do anything about it. The fact we stemmed the tide and ended up winning is a massive tick in a box for me but if we could find a way to concentrate for the full 80 we'd be there or thereabouts at season's end.
Play like that against saints and cas and we lose.
Interesting that it was our forwards, rather than our outside backs who made the metres this week

Our passing is still too slow, play still breaks down when it gets to shaul and we just don't run on to the ball. Saying that we are in the mix for the top 4 and we haven't clicked yet
Agree with this ,good post, how many times did our forwards take the ball almost stood still, don't get me wrong, thought mickey and taylor was excellent last night, but could do so much more in opposition 20 if steaming on to the ball

Couldn't believe he missed that easy second conversion attempt, especially when we might of had to settle for a point. Redeemed himself and did the biz, again, when the heat was on. Fair play.
Leeds royally fooked it up when they came down our end late on looking for a dg equaliser. Reminded me of us not so many moons ago.
