Lynch was knackered too, you could see when he didn't have the energy to get to the tackle on Tansey and he ran 60 yards up the field and passed it to Hall for the winner.

He was nowhere in defence when he let Tansey run past him on our 20m line for the winning try. Yes, he ran back 70m to try and make a last ditch effort, he should never have got past him in the 1st place. And a second rower should be making the hard yards, he just doesn't pull his weight I'm afraid.

I think I'll cry if we give him a new deal. I doubt we'd be that daft though.

And now we're in ninth.


I bet the RFL are loving their appointment now.

He's the type of player who could definitely improve under a new coach, but i still wouldn't want him near a new deal.

Thats a bit harsh,Danny likes to get into his mind zone.

If he has some heart and a bit of aggression that I might agree. But I have lost count how many times I've counted him stood next to Nero whilst we struggle to get out our own half. He is FORWARD, he should be taking us FORWARD! I think we saw today that people like Whitehead and Addy are the future, that is the sort of commitment and work ethic I pay to see.

It is ridiculous though.


Sykes can be bad at times, but Ticle must be the worst in the league.


For one of the kicks in the 1st half it took him 1:36, and 42 of those seconds went before Smith decided to stop the clock.

To be fair,stopping the clock should be standard.

I totally agree.

Addy is a very skilful player, he slotted in really well and had some good footwork for his try.

I don't see why the genius that is McNamara put Whitehead on the bench, but after comparing his performance and Worrincy's he'll surely be starting Elliott next week?

It should be done straight away imo. 42 extra seconds could have seen us go over the line in that second half.

Why? He's supposed to get a minute before the clock is stopped, seems to me you owe him 18 seconds

You haven't read the rules then?

There is no mention of your made up "1 minute rule".

Wasting time : If a player wastes time when kicking at goal, the Referee may
caution him or, in an extreme case, dismiss him. He should
not cancel the kick but should allow extra time to compensate
for time lost.

There is no disputing whether Tickle wasted time at a fair few goal kicks today.

Two teams with half backs missing, we had both of ours missing so was never going to be a classic. Ultimately the better team won, we've just got to scape these wins while Horney/Longy and our two best forwards are out.

Did you go to the Cas/Hudds game? Or the Rovers/Wakey game? You can't have been at Odsal.

Well we seem to have nicely found reverse gear, should be plummeting well over the next few games if we keep playing like that!
I've got to say Worrincy should never pull a Bulls shirt on while there are people in the crowd that it will fit. Made one decent break but countless mistakes. The break by Tansey which was covered by Sherrife until Woriincy tripped him up was typical. Sherrife was having a right go at him. Most of the time he looks lost. Interesting that the game turned around for us when he went off and Addy came on and his trip on Sherrife was a gamebreaker. How is he keeping anybody out of the 17 is a mystery.
On a positive note the young lads as always looked good, Koppy, Addy, Whitehead and Platt all went well. Lynchy did his usual Superman as did Langers. Time for Macca to be honest himself and some of his players. Might as well give the other Fringe Platers their turn, Worrincy, Reardon and one or two others have had more than their fair share of chances to prove themselves and failed miserably. What's the worse that could happen? We lose more?
New Coach needed urgently, if none is avaiable I suggest my Wife takes over until the end of the season. We couldn't play worse and Players would face the rounds of the Kitchen literally after poor performances!

I meant the better team on paper.

Well here we are again, currently out of the play off picture again. A few weeks ago I was mocked for sugesting that we were in a false position when sitting in fourth. We were and yet again I get proven correct.

Another defeat for the hapless McNamara but one game closer to his departure. Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.

England RL will soon be in the doledrums. Thankfully it will soon be their problem and not ours.

Seven straight losses???? Totally unacceptable.

I don't know why you're all bemoaning Worrincy and Sherriffe when we have that shower of that is Paul Sykes on the field.
Absolute garbage yet again, gifting Hull FC three tries in the first half with his inept defending, complete lack of pace and shocking passes that people like Yeaman will eat up every day of the week.

Addy for 6 next week, we won't improve as long as this waste of space is on the pitch.

Olbison had a great game in the u20s, I hope he takes Worrincy's place next week.

Sykes is utter w@nk. But he aint alone. Glad we gave him another three year deal eh?

you do realise smith stops the clock at each conversion so that is a bit ireelevant

game of two halves today, fc the better 1st, bulls the 2nd, some of your play and passes were shocking in the first half!! main culprit being sykes

It's not irrelevant if he takes 40 seconds to stop it.

He wants to take a leaf out of Ganson's book and stop it after about 10 seconds.

so you're blaming defeat on tickles goalkicking timing, he is playing by the rules, using what time the ref allows him, it's not his fault!

Thought Addy showed what he's capable of today and he looks a great prospect.

The side looked far more enthusiastic in the second half but unfortunately the first half we weren't sharp enough.

Rather than whine on we should remember we're playing without any recognised halfbacks. Sykes makes a fair few errors but we have to remember he's playing out of position, as such his efforts are likely to lead to mistakes. Also our backline lacks any real class in the threequarters too, as such we're not as clinical as we need to be.

I know we still had 20 mins to go at this point but why didn't we opt for the drop goal at 22-22?

Academic now I suppose.
