I thought you were a bit unlucky tonight, Leeds seemed to get the luck of the bounce when it mattered. I've never been a fan of Yeamo but he didn't deserve to be on the losing side tonight. If Shaul had played it might just have made the difference.

Quite an honest opinion their by Radders... As time goes by I am starting to think he is getting better at the job.. suppose its all experience after all.

Whats happened to the free flowing offloading rugby.maybe not the conditions tonight but not seen it since beating Catalan.Three times we broke the line with no backing up.Thats why we need Tuimavave at centre because he is always on Franks shoulder. Cant complain about the ref, yeamans try should not have been allowed and he kept Watts on the field when it warranted 10 mins in the bin. very disappointed
No you're not. You're obviously buzzing and in your element Offloading game - in that? Not seen it since Catalan. Past 5 games prior and wins no less including crazy close finishes have been shouting out for lobbing the ball out. Err ok then. Yeaman try? really. 1 angle put doubt on it. Ref gave it. Vid ref gave it. I had it. My rovers chum had it. Other rovers pal had it. Sky had it. But you didn't? Watts should of done 10. But a send off? Really? What about abletts on Talanoa then at that rate?
One thing you can't accuse this Hull side of is lack of heart and effort. Disappointed not to get the result but not downhearted. Still got some improvement in us, and some major players to come back.

Dont talk daft why should i be buzzing because we lost.It was 2 points thrown away and im extremely disappointed. Read the post again I said Watts should have been given 10 mins in the bin not sent off. It was moving the ball in the last 20 mins at HKR that started the confidence roll we have been on but since then we have ground out results. Tonight we had three opportunities for tries from line breaks with no backing up.Radford has even mentioned this in his interview yet all we get from people on here is what a great effort from the team.Yes plenty of effort but missing composure and no one alert to the line breaks. When i watch the re run of Yeamans try ill apologize if im wrong
Stood watching in that weather was bad enough playing in it was tough to say the least.Disappointed ? ..yes down beat ..No I think both sides deserve a lot of credit the way they played the game ,it was never going to be a error free game in them conditions .To be fair Leeds just about deserved the win talking to some Leeds fans they said it was probably the best performance effort wise and both side battled to the end. I cannot understand why some are over critical the boys gave their all, its a loss but we move on and get on with it.I thought Naughton was fantastic last night he came under lots of pressure and handled it well.Frank was awsome its just a pity his breaks did not get us more points. A good break this week will give us chance to re energise and get some players back.

Last few years we all would have been happy with a two point defeat at Leeds, but feel slight disappointment at the result, thought the main reason we lost were
Poor errors and discipline Thought Radford got it wrong with playing Washbrook if left Sneyd on his own and he struggled, should have played Abdul, or least have him on the bench in place of Feka, as Jake says its s waste of a bench spot.
Key moment was Sneyd puts up a good kick he chases and fails to trap Goulding in goal, poor chase from the rest of the team,two plays later when in control defensively we give away a penalty, they score on the back of that penalty and take back control of the game.
Key thing is to not let it get to use like we did after the Cas game and get back to winning ways next week.

Not only the worst Leeds team in SL era but in the 32 years I've been watching them. An FC fan was gloating on the Leeds forum when we were stuffed by Rover's the other day, think he said something like "can't wait to play you lot etc,etc". Thank you for jinxing your team last night sir, whoever you are.
And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you.
