Firstly well done Hull. They defended great with a lot of spirit and desire.

As I said it was lined up for a banana skin tonight. Made worse by the heavens opening up after we were down 14-0

Was pleased we fought our way back into the game from and dominated the final 35 mins but just that last bit of execution was difficult.

We are so good in the grind this year and we were tonight.

Every side loses the odd game so I’m not losing sleep over it.

Takeaways going forward are -

1) I’m not bagging Shorrocks one bit, he’s a young forward playing half back and he’s done fine but obviously tonight was bad. He probably doesn’t want to play there either. Rocky to 6 next week and maybe Cust there the week after then eventually Field.

2) Think we saw tonight why Peet prefers Field at full back over french. Field is alot fitter and French looked very fatigued when we needed him to pop up with magic to get us over the line.


We’ll be fine once we have a half back at half and open up both sides of the field.

We'll bounce back (very rare we lose two on the bounce) so onto the next one and I'm sure karma will catch up with the ref.

Undoubtedly however (& I've said this since before the season started) we need to make a mid season signing. Freshen it up, change what teams can expect from us etc.

2 tries each in terrible conditions with 7 first teamers missing (Hull missing just Hoy) after 6 of our best players played just 5 days ago, after winning 6 games in a row including Saints and Wire.

People need perspective.

We’ll be so much more threatening from deep when Field is back but he’s not a guy who’ll pick a pass either and in the big games you need to build pressure and unlock a defence with a killer pass or a short kick. You get to Wembley or Old Trafford and it’s unlikely you go the length of the field for try’s.
