Just finished watching - my my I must be watching too much Storm because i thought FC were awful. We can’t pin a team in their own half for more than one set A mark of a team is being able to stop a side at the half way for 4-5 sets on the trot
We are nowhere near that
awful handling - awful discipline
lazy in defence on too many occasions
BH may be a nice guy but he’s no rugby disciplinarian
As the other poster said - we can’t beat the Top 4 and that’s why we don’t finish Top 4

Happy to call it out as discipline separates Champion teams We may as well have lost by 20 I suppose because we lost Gallant defeats are the hallmark of FC for years inc that incredibly stupid loss to Leeds in the GF semi final when Cas were awaiting the winner.
We spend all season ‘hoping’ rather than ‘knowing’
We are a LONG way off the WCC and we’ve trying to be a GF winning side for 20 years + and still no nearer
We pinched one I didn’t really feel we deserved there tonight. We started brightly but Hull wrestled control of the game and it felt at the game like you guys were going to get the win. Our young forwards were gutsy against the likes of Satae, Sao and Manu, with Havard and Byrne putting in a good shift.
Fair play to the Hull fans who travelled. We’re doing people no favours charging £30 an adult ticket but that was a good following on a Thursday night.

no doubt you will get the usual negative comments for criticising the team but you are certainly correct about on field discipline or lack off. Its the clubs achilles heel and makes winning games so much more difficult yet whilst Hodgson recognises the problem nothing changes. Until this changes and the players stop putting pressure on themselves by having to defend a lot more than they should all the effort they put into the match is wasted irrespective of fitness

My interest is winning and looking at why we lost the game rather than the tries we scored. We have proved that we can score tries and some very good tries but until the clubs on field discipline improves and the players concentrate for the full 80 minutes then this type of tight game with a lot of effort but end up with a defeat will become the norm

Great effort from the lads tonight, a little disappointed in some of Gales decision making at really crucial times, poor kick choices, contributing to our loss, he’s probably a bit rusty so will forgive him.
Thought we had the points, and looked the better team Savelio and Joe superb, there’s a team in their that’s for sure, Wigan did well to pinch it. What a player Field is, lightning fast and a match winner.
We’ve got some quality still missing Carlos Tag, Evans etc, not really sure we’re Reynolds fits in to be honest, he needs to seriously up his game.
As the old adage goes there’s no substitute for pace, and that was true tonight, top class stand off, and a strike centre and we’d be amongst the best. Great support from the Hull supporters tonight, getting home at stupid o’clock on a Friday morning.

Very gallant effort by the team last night.... I don't understand the selection of Jordan Johnstone,as interchange. Our bench selection , for mine, is unbalanced. Fash, IMO, is a backrower, Brown prop, JJ hooker, Wynne Utility back. We are missing impact from the bench. I personally thought Bowden would've been a better choice than JJ, he's played well so far this season. Going forward it will be interesting to see IF Hodgson continues to persevere with Johnstone as a substitute.
