That's a fantastic effort but frustrates the hell out of me to why we can't see that kind of performance on a weekly basis! COYD

We must have had them worried at half time.

So near yet so far. Where was that spirit in previous Super 8 matches?

We lost.
Good, but we lost.
Ain't the game about winning?
Or is it about consolation?

Two good things ... Miloudi was good at 6 and the Hull lads did well. The whole team played to their potential as individuals.
But we lost...but that's OK because it was expected.

Well what a tremendous performance. What a pity we did not do that more often during the season. When you bear in mind the heat, lack of acclimatisation time and the effects of the journey that was superb. Miloudi had a great game at stand off and pulled off a superb tackle on Liam Kay 5 minutes from the end. Now we must wait to see how the Barrow and York matches go. And I must go to bed.

RH was on the touchline ... which was nice to see.


I didn't see this game out because I looked on my phone when they caught us up and saw that we lost by 12 points.
A lot different to losing by 76 points at the Keepmoat .

We looked very lightweight compared with Toronto and despite our claims at the beginning of the season that here was a forward pack the match of any in this league, all the other lads had to work very hard to make up for the lack.

We did look like a cohesive outfit for the time I watched. They tried to batter us, but we defended well.

The fact is that compared with the top 3 we are not big enough.

Need better forwards and Miloudi showed up our lack at Stand-Off.

Got to recruit much better.

Hedges and Howden as a pair was a disaster and shafted our season.
Hedges because he ain't a half back and Howden because he was crocked.

Miller and Cross were good though ...

No doubt we are too inconsistent & we will finish where we deserve to , the tables do not lie .
Will be glued to todays scores at Barrow & York .

What a splendid effort by the boys in difficult circumstances.

With a lack of forwards and no Jason Tali we nearly achieved the unexpected. At the end we were trying to go sideways without going forwards first and Toronto had too much size and pace.

Miloudi showed how much difference a live-wire half-back makes. It highlights what we've been missing this season.

We still make mistakes defensively but we've come on a great deal since Richard Horne took over.
