We should be after Warrington now.
I think they'll only have a chance of beating Cas. Won't beat Salford or Giants away.

We need to put pressure on by beating Robers who are struggling now.

It was short so the decision was correct but the reason it was disallowed was not because his feet was in the air.

Don't agree with that tbh. After 3 seasons where we have had a huge injury list I think we have just been average this season.

Yes we have a slimmer squad than some but enough to cover this season. True, some key players have been missing but IMHO not enough to call us injury hit, not this time.

FWIW I'd say that I'm disappointed that some of those who stepped up just didn't have it in them. Minns and to a lesser degree Croft didn't fill the gap left by Lyne. Lineham simply didn't offer an alternative for either Tom or Kershaw. All the same I honestly don't recall us putting out a team that on paper at least wasn't capable of competing and none that should have had 70 shipped past them.

We are still without those key players now but in the last four weeks we have seen a completely different team despite largely being the same players. That I think is whats made it a crap season to many, it's obviously always been there, so where did it disappear to for so long?

You might have a point… borderline… when viewed from all possible angles…

Those that have been injured have left a hole for some new fan faves to emerge… it will be interesting to see how that develops over the next few years…

I’m just pleased that our stand building 150 year anniversary will be in the top flight!

Sad to see Toulouse go … but we have to find a way to grow funding (as a sport) and grow the Superleague to 14 or 16 teams

Scrappy game think we have played better and lost but who the bloody hell cares 6 pts with 3 games to go and 3 wins out of last 4

Shout out for Lee Kershaw, not seen any stats and he isn't the glam winger but I thought he was huge tonight taking the ball up out of our half all night long.

Another good win, and just about safe.Watched the match on Sky and re Murphy's contentious disallowed early effort it was clearly not a try as he lost control of the ball.Think the scoreline massively flattered Hull.

I wonder if after today some will finally let the Grix error against Saints go because it can clearly happen to any player.

Wow. I am agreeing with SP! Yes, but that’s why Shaul will play fullback on Thursday though, Max may develop another role as half back back up if as expected, Miller departs.

Been tried before but might be worth another go.

Shaul has 5 years experience on Jowitt and some of that man management will develop. Jowitt was signalling players throughout the game fixing the line and for the most part did a solid job. Time for that to develop. Full backs tend to hit their best around late 20s early 30s. There’s plenty of time for Max to continue his growth.

Shaul is only here till the end of season. No need presently to start turning Jowitt into a prop forward.
