Let’s not forget we went there fully pumped up and thinking we had a chance
Did LR need to dig deep and fire them up ?
The 2nd half was a breeze v Rovers and hardly affected us physically and of course Saints has to battle Wigan

This is a 11 try drubbing of a team that took the field full of confidence and at least as fresh as Saints

Let’s hope we avoid Saints in the CC iF we beat CAS

It's all planned tactics by Radders.

He's just lulling St's and Wire into a false sense of security and then come crunch time, they won't know what's hit them.

Think we are capable of beating them both in a one off big game with our bestish team out.
Done it before innit.

True story.

I don't think we are with our current squad

Our pack isn't good enough, only Taylor would get into their side and even he would be their 3rd best prop.

5 of our current pack was our starting pack that won back to back challenge cups, plus 3 more of our current pack were our interchanges for back to back challenge cups.

Only Watts has gone from that 2017 pack and we've added Paea, Westerman and Savelio, plus the rise of Masi.

Sain't have got there gander up. Playing fantastic rugby. confidence sky high. Am still gutted at the result yesteady but we have won 3/4 so overall not bad. Am hoping for a win against wakey to get us back on track. Let's be honest following hull has never been easy

The defeats haven’t been unexpected, but the margins (and number) of them has been.
I’m sure APs not happy with that aspect either.
There is a boom or bust mentality amongst some supporters. Hence why you only see some on here after a defeat.
I’m taking this season for what it is, which is a transitional one. I’m not totally happy with that but we are where we are.
Just enjoy the good moments when they present themselves.

And therein lies the problem. Age and time.
Most people think Mini and Manu are now past it, Ellis has had to come out of retirement. Houghton by his own high standards has not been his usual self for best part of a season (recent Rovers game aside, when he was excellent).
So I think the poster who said only Taylor would get in the Saints pack and then be 3rd choice is correct. Paea is not the player he once was, Westerman has been good but out injured and Savellio potentially a very good signing but fitness and injury issues again.
Masi has been improving but still very much a work in progress.

But why could Hull not have their dander( not gander, unless they've got a goose on the wing) up and play with confidence, having won 3 on the bounce. We went there and capitulated.
For all your recent attacks on me I'm not opposed to Hull losing but rather the performance, unfortunately a trait seen far too many times at Hull over recent seasons.
There were times when I'd be confident in beating Wakey without much fuss but they've improved immeasurabley nowadays.
Yes following Hull has never been easy, wish it was but complacency has seem to become common place.
You never see Wigan, Leeds, Warrington or Saints resting on their laurels, accepting mediocrity or dining off cup wins and league placings for a while.
Not saying we should have won yesterday as they're a well coached team but just to turn up have a real dig and perform would have been acceptable for me.
Hope that's not too negative for you?

Maybe if we'd have had a pretty much settled 17 for 2 seasons running, as Saints have, then our mojo may have been working. We're only in April and we've already used about 30 players this season. When was the last time we were able to put out a pretty much settled, strong side for a good run of games?

Think you've missed the point.
You don't need your starting 17 to play with enthusiasm, motivation or desire,it's a mental thing.
Your starting 17 will give you a better chance of winning however.
