If we get to Wembley I will be home for that.Otherwise its september then .see how we go,about GF,but back to reality,when Hull fans were on the western terrace,I always used to leave a few minutes early.Having said that at their place KC I have met some decent fans.

I thought we were fairly average today. Some awful ball movement and clueless running. A lot of individual brilliance made the score look better than it should have been but we need to improve ten fold to beat Wigan.

On the plus side, our awful ball controll give us plenty of goal line defends practise and for once we looked pretty good.

There were at least 2 sets yesterday where we were trying to work away from our goal line and the forwards did not put their hands up for a carry until the fourth or even fifth tackle, letting the likes of Hall, Ablett and Wakins have a go. My daughter even spotted Rob Burrow telling Kirk to get up an in the line to take a carry. Griffin was absent for these 2 sets of 6 also. That said the whole team had put on a massive stint of goal line defence, only breached by the stroll in after Hardacers pass to no one. To me the side looked a lot more balanced yesterday and despite the mystery pass Zack looks good at FB. Of note about 3 plays before he took a really difficult high kick and looked like he got some sand in his eye. Also when London were about to kick off after Mags pre-wee break we only had 11 players on the pitch. Other than that a lot of positives to take away, but still some areas to work on.

More ammunition (as if it was needed) for the introduction of the likes of Singleton and D.Smith.

I know I am accused of repeating myself, but I find the selections so puzzling and incomprehensible I find this forum the best way of alleviating some of that relative frustration.
It has been suggested that McDermott is now too anxious about keeping his job to take the risk of introducing some of the kids (perhaps understandable).....but does he really see the likes of Kirke and a disinterested Griffin as best placed to achieve his continued employment ??

That is the case for most of our kick-return sets and has been for some time!
