Should get lessons off Tuli about leaping and catching a rugby ball. Followed by a great ball to Carlos for us to bet back in it. T0sser Should have grounded it himself though.

I think people are being over critical, money off our backs, Leeds are a good side and showed at times last night how good they can be, our defence overall was outstanding and didn't let them play. There were missing a few props, but still had a side full of top class players.

Not sure it's throwing the towel in, more being realistic and preparing ourselves for the worst should it happen...and let's face it, against Leeds it usually does!

Came over to applaud the Hull fans again, when it would be easy to slope off after a defeat.
I've tweeted my thanks to him because he does this every time we play Leeds. He came over to us in the Western Terrace the other week too, total respect to him.

how is it a "monkey off our back"? beating Leeds at Headingley is something we struggle with, but every game in the regular rounds is two points, nothing more.

Bit of a stretch to hope the Giants can get anything at Saints tonight but hope Salford can do Wakey and would probably prefer Wigan to beat Cas this evening.
Did anyone else think the Sneyd conversion attempt after the Faraimo try actually went over? Looked it from where we were in the East Stand. I do think that we need taller posts, as he gets some efforts chalked off that look good due to the height he kicks the ball

I had a view that was nearly behind him and it looked over to me as well as people sitting nearby, but as you say the posts are ridiculously small and that has to be addressed.

Thought we did well in patches again, had control of the game then some poor penalties to help Leeds get back in the game and we switched off again for 20mins of the 2nd half.
What really annoyed me more than anything last night was that we yet again look devoid of ideas once we get over the oppositions 20M line. The try by Faraimo showed what running a decent line game do but we just don't do it enough. We very rarely use the size of Paea or Taylor when close to the line by having them steaming onto a ball. My other gripe is our attacking line more often than not goes so deep that we actually loose ground from where we ptb because its static with not forward movement when the ball is played.
Showed good character though the come back and get the 2pts.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
