If Jake Connor is worth £500k then Lomax is priceless.

Good win for Saints that.

I would say Lomax is undervalued because is high standard week in week out, similar to all those seasons with Roby.

Whilst I'm delighted with the big win and 2 points, surely Hull could've put a stronger side out, at least out of respect for the large following that made the long journey here which put many clubs at lot closer to us to shame.

On paper we put out a decent side, probably not one to win, but one that shouldn't have just rolled over like they did.

We seem weak mentally when we play a side who get a roll on and just collapse, like we have done 4 times in the last year.

I do think we are targeting Wakey on Sunday, but that's no excuse for that scoreline. We are so far off the top 2, need big recruitment in the forwards next year, which I think has already started. Warrington away I a few weeks is a big game, even if we don't win, we need to compete.

It will be interesting to see whether the tactic of resting a number of players for the Saints game, gives Hull any advantage over the next few weeks.
Getting done so easily, may work against you but, keeping players fresh should pay dividends in the longer term.
