Decent game that. Felt Wakey competed manfully after the 1st 20 minutes and had you on the ropes at the end of the first half.
Sadly that pack of yours is just immense and hits like a steam train! We were blowing hard with 15 to go, hence the flattering scoreline. Felt we were unlucky with a few decisions when it was still tight but not gonna pretend that was in any way the reason for the defeat.
Well played to Hull and a great following (apart from that sad sack getting on the roof of the toilet block but we all have em!)

Massive game on Friday now. Beat Catalans and we can really push on for a top four place. Really hope a lot of stayaway fans get themselves there.
Exactly what we said walking out at the end. Characters like Scott Taylor help no end with this - determination and attitude about everything he does, inspires others to do likewise.

Play for 80 we get 70 today. It's defo coming soon. Some1s getting a hiding Thought pryce was rusty as hell n killed us down that side. But he fixed up in the 2nd. Be better for the game Shaul has become a massive player for us Ellis is...well Ellis. A beast Welcome back mini. More line bust threat again Bowden gets better Last but not least Talanoa. And I always bang the drum for him...but any1 who thinks michaels n naughton currently bring more to the team have rocks for brains imo. He proves it time and again. His carries were massive to us starting our sets.
I guarantee that in past seasons we would have lost that once we went 28-24 down. Showed real good character to respond and not concede any more points. Wakefield have the makings of a good side. If they can keep hold of the young exciting talant they have and make a few quality signings for next year they could do very well. This year I think they will continue to entertain but not sure they will quite make the 8. I hope they do though.

Michaels gives 100% and has done well in the bin man's absence, but he doesn't offer nearly as much as Talanoa. People quite rightly heap praise on McGillvary for his strong carries early in the sets, but Talanoa is every bit as good in this area. Just never gets dominated in a tackle.

Would like to see the Pritchard pass to Shaul again that got called back for a forward pass. Looked fine to me, and was a great move. That said, a few weird decisions both ways.

Well played Hull, thought you were worthy winners in the end...maybe 18 point margin flattered you slightly?
You came in great numbers and hopefully enjoyed the day...
Can see Hull being genuine top four contenders this year if you stay healthy....a very good pack which will take some stopping....thought our lads stood up really well today and competed with you for long periods but just fell short...few 50/50's went against us and a few too many unforced errors when the pressure was on 2nd half.
Considering where we've come from in the last 6-12 months though I don't think there will be many unhappy Wakey fans with that effort and performance from us today....keep up that level of performance with a few negatives ironed out and we may just sneak a top eight spot?

Thanks. Thought in patches you were superb with ball in hand and moved our bigger players around really well to your advantage. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Cheers. Hope you make the top eight. Would be a remarkable turnaround from last year.
