I agree with a lot of people on here and feel this is a game we could lose. Those 3 games in a row against Leigh, Saints and Warrington were so intense and we have started to lose a few through suspension and injury. We looked flat against Wakey and had a lot go again for England, just hope the Wakey game was the poor performance and we can kick on again and put a stamp on first place.

Thornley in for Marshall, not risking Hampshire (18th man)

Shame not to see Hampshire - on the positive side that's a huge backline which should eat up the metres.

Some bloody soft penalties so far

Soft all round so far. That defence down our right side has been dire. Missing Willie Isa massively.

Too many errors, not at the races yet

Everything we feared is happening. Think the Shorrocks at 6 experiment is done as well.

Great refereeing performance. Don't know what's more farcical - his fat gut gut, the fake tan or how obviously biased he's been.

Each club should be required to play a minimum number of club trained players in their 17, that would require all clubs producing junior players.

Going exactly how I feared. We look like we lack energy and Hull look full of it. They are playing well to be fair to them.





Shorrocks and KPP are struggling in D



Obvious but we need to score next.

I fully agree. We need to step it up.

Feels like we’ve pushed it one week too far or maybe a full game too far at least. He’s done a superb job but we can’t forget it’s an emergency pick and no more. It’s a funny old game but you can probably get away with it more in games against Saints and Wire, than tonight because in those games everyone is totally switched on, covering each other and they’re rarely high scoring. It’s games like tonight where you need that threat and execution a specialist 6 brings. Last point is to say that’s not to bag Shorrocks, he’s done a great job in there for us in the circumstances.
