A lorry driver "being involved in multiple 20-30 mph crashes" will have a shorter career than a rugby player lol seriously though your right, his post was LUDICROUS!!!!!

Conditions were awful and I thought we handled the conditions a little bit better. The decisions to go for goal on 3 occasions in the first half was good game management by us. Thought Sneyd was patient with his kicking game and we didn't panic too much when the clock was ticking down. Kelly got a lot of traffic thrown at him and handled it very well. Agree that when Ellis, Manu and Watts went off we looked a lot weaker. Taylor played well and put in a big shift. Happy to have the 2 points on the board and winning start to the season.

Fully agree with Bumpy & Runninglate on this one. From personal experience, after playing on a Saturday afternoon my body will be in the most pain on the Monday 2 days afterwards. 3 days simply isn't enough time to recover and prepare properly between games.

PCollinson is an interesting new poster.

Leeds had 3 kickable chances from penalties against Saints and turned them down, yes you never know if they might have kicked them and how those kicks in turn effect the game from thereon in (even after the first kick0 but there's a very good chance they could have won the game if they had taken the chances.
Making those smart choices in those weather conditions ultimately was the difference between winning and losing.

There was a stat on the Friday night game saying we had only won once in our last 5 visits to Wakey,if so then to grind out 2pts is a very good effort in conditions that didn't suit us like they did last yr arguably.Been reading about the 5th prop scenario,we cant carry another top rated prop as it would be a waste nut we could use Ellis for a stint at prop during a game or start him if one of our props are injured and put Washy in at 13

Looked at the stats, big efforts from efforts from Taylor, Ellis, Houghton (52 tackles) and Watts. All the backs made very useful metres too

Very good defensively only 10 missed tackles and few errors 9, which is amazing in those conditions.

Bench impact is the disappointing one, hopefully Hadley and Bowden will be back next week and youngsters like Masi and Turgut, can put pressure on those bench players to up their game.

Bit odd that seeing as we won there twice last year.

Still its a difficult fixture and one that you can't just turn up to and expect to win so well done Hull for the 2 points.

Someone mentioned above, but i think we could use Ellis as the 5th prop, and either Washbrook or Connor could slot in at 13. I think Connor could be a good player from 13, use as a pivot and then Shaul can be used to support

The bench impact was a point i was trying to make given the expected conditions at Wakefield
Great that we won the game but as you say the bench impact was disappointing and i think Masi or Fash should have been given a run.
