Regardless of officials attack near their line awful. No drop outs forced. Widdop needed to take more control.
Everything else so much better. Hard to win back to back Easter games. Clear improvements over the last 2 games.

5h1t officiating ....
The RFL are a joke. A "try" scored from a forward pass, by a player that's going to pick up a 5 match ban, tomorrow. Baffling
Kendall appalling.

Masters of our own downfall, though.
EVERY distance kick on the last tackle, was taken by Connor, on the full.

We need to do better at that

Both sets of players deserve better than that. They play two games in four days, run their blood to water and the outcome is decided by guesswork.

Hull won't care but if the Hull derby and gone to that script they'd have been a riot.

Much better than I was fearing. I think we can safely say we are a mid table team this year.

If they play like that every match for the rest of the season I will have no complaints. Good effort by the boys today.

A massive improvement since we got beat by Hull KR. We have better to come, the halves arent firing really, why our marquee half Widdop isnt kicking on the last is baffling to be honest and those last tackle kicks are my only gripe with today. Commitment and work rate across the board was so, so much better.

Credit to thewlis who improves every time I see him, he's going to be excellent IMO and should be starting FB next season. Darryl's best game for such a long time, the front row matched up really well, currie and Ashton were good too. I liked Mata'utia getting in to Wynne after he hit thewlis in the air, showed me he was willing to front up today and he did, don't get me wrong he offered nothing special really but up for the fight and no mistakes.

I think if we had even referee calls today we would have won it. Kendall made mistakes both ways but way more against us than for us. He's an unbelievably appalling ref.

Gutted with the result but much happier with the effort. Daryl looked much better tonight, Thewlis the real deal. King gets some stick on here but he has caused havoc for his opposite number in both games this weekend.

Agreed, he looks to test the opposition all the time and that's what makes things happen for any team. He's a quality player.

We really did play well, despite poor call after poor call the whole team never felt sorry for themselves or lost focus and that's what I'm most happy about in that performance. We went behind and didn't buckle either. Some great signs of resilience in there. As I said earlier if they play like that every week I really can't ask for more as a fan.

That’s not good enough. I’ll look forward to a message from Daryl and an update on the midweek “honest discussions”.

It’s utter tripe, pathetic.

I'm not on board the "all is well" train unfortunately..that was a knackered and pretty poor Hull team. We offered nothing in go forward in that second half and the last play choices were questionable. Improved? Yes. Much improved? Nah, far to go

We were better than we have been i thought, which isnt hard....but still a way off for me. Hull werent great despite the Sky love in.....
Our last tackle options were poor...but saying that we did well considering Kendalls performance. Id say, Rachford not slotting the 1 before half time was poor, but again, we showed some great skill to score 10 mins from time. That last try decision was pathetic.
Hopefully we kick on from here, at least the effort was there. We have a long way to go. I have faith that Powell will get it right with time. Just hoping the board afford him the time to do it....

I know there are issues in camp, and the players involved with it, but i fully expect Powell to get it sorted.

We go again Saturday.....

Can you share the nature of these "issues in camp" ?

Give a performance like that on Saturday against Huddersfield I think we.ll win anything less we won't...

Not for me to expand on it in honesty.....and ive had a beer so maybe should of worded it differently....

All il say is, im lead to believe there are a group of players not buying into his methods the way he wants to work...all part of the culture change he wants to instill. Very much a work in progress by all accounts.

Worst set of forwards in the whole of SL and it’s says a lot when Aston probably makes more yardage taking the ball up.Will struggle make the top 8.

Any players not playing to their ability or in line with the coaches direction need to be dropped and put on loan. I'd rather lose with a good camp than lose with a bad one.

Absolutley agree. Its what Smith did. Gleeson gone and he threatened Briers with Barrow on loan....

The recent pathetic performances don't happen with a good group. Our youngsters showed that the other year against Salford.

No probably about it. He makes 9.3m average gain, 2nd only to Conor Wrench.

Philbin makes a poor 6.5 and J Clark < 6.0.

Cooper has decent prop figures with 8.3

Stats may suggest that Philbin was poor this afternoon but I don't think he was. He still needs to be better but he clearly tried to run better lines and ran hard IMO. Cooper is still our best, bullock made 1 bad PTB error but was good otherwise, mulhern ran hard and was solid.

Stats probably not updated as yet to take account of todays game.

I've heard the same rumours, from a connected source.

Day 1 at the "players' bonding session" in York
"Is there anything you want to get off your chests?"
"No"

Day 2
Ditto

Next time of asking
"Yes. Powell is training us too hard. It was not like this under Steve"

I'm a lover of many sports and I don't think I've ever known a set of fans to be so pro coach/manager after a bad run of form.

But I agree with it. I'd much rather get rid of the dissidents than get rid of Powell. They've had it far too easy for too long.

The players are dumb at times. Just watching the last try and the set restart on tackle 5. FFS.

My suspicions lie with the players that have played under Smith, Price and Powell. Getting the first sacked, embarrassing the second, and frustrating the third.

No apologies needed. I post what I hear and be dammed. Tbh, I wish I was wrong.
