So whilst I would in no way presume to suggest we’ll win this, we certainly need to be competitive in it and score a few. Now is the time for Meadows and Campo to step up and show us what they can do creatively. They’ve worked hard but one can’t help but feel we need to see more.

We certainly need to post some points, unless wigan are suffering from a post WCC hangover I can't see us getting through there defence. Hull look to be In dissaray at the moment so you never know of the few chances of a win thus could be one of them.

I make you right.
Let’s hope that this isn’t the game where Hull get their season back on track.
If we get a good start it will build confidence- as you say they seem to be in disarray, hopefully we can capitalise

Hope Walker is fit to return & maybe play Jarrod from the start. In any event hope we can keep it tight for as long as possible & have a decent Referee.

You and me both but I'm not too sure there are any.

Steady boy, you don't want to upset Northernbloke before the game.

Said it at the start of the season, teams that adapt to the rule changes best this season will do well. We have not quite worked out how to stand square at marker yet, sort that out and we will see results. Hull ain't been great in that area either so let's see

Feels a bit like this match will tell us if we might win a match this season or lose the lot.

Well at 16-4 down at the break we’ve got a lot of work to do in the second half to win this one!

Best bit so far is the Brewdog logo is on the white band. Let's hope the promo shirt was a rush job.

Kershaw in with a try out wide - Oli with the conversion ( with a bit of help from the woodwork)
10-16

Miloudi in after a good spell of pressure, conversion missed
14-16

Just when it seemed we were getting on top Hull score again. Plenty of time left, can we come back
14-22.
Need the next score- quickly!

We need a kicker!

Got the next try, Maloudi in again!
We seem to be getting somewhere down that wing!
Another conversion missed - could be costly
18-22

Robbie Storey in with 5 to go!!
Great interception, ran about 80metres!!

Conversion over!!!
24-22!!
COYB!!!

FC in by the posts, big holes in our defence- must be all over now.
We’ve blown it at the death.
Gutted!

Hull dodged a bullet there.

Damn.

Quite.
We could and should have won that.
Missed kicks were costly.

Parata getting injured early doors meant the lads were out on their feet.
Ball retention and avoiding silly offloads are the way forward.

Well played, felt a bit sorry for your lads at the end there. Hull really got out of jail.

We've needed a top kicker for a number of years. We also don't make a lot of ground with penalty kicks to touch. Both of those skills union kickers are decent at. Maybe we should look there for the answer.

Thought Ref was pretty decent too, which should please NB.

Now the logo is in the right place, the away shirt is top notch. Far more vibrant & interesting than black.

Good effort by the boys and we created and converted a few chances and made a few more metres this game. Clearly Hull not at same level as Saints or Catalans so was interesting to see we did better. Dread the Wigan game a bit.
We’re clearly light a few SL standard players and that needs addressing.
As others have said all the best sides including in the Championship have a decent kicker- I don’t think Leyland is consistent enough although to be clear if he wasn’t the best we have he wouldn’t be chosen. If we had not had Norman as kicker in the MPG would we have won? I think the answer is no. It’s that important we can’t keep ducking it. On the plus side we aren’t in Coates or Mocadreki territory and Leyland always looks to improve so...It is though a clear weakness that we need to address in next years recruitment drive. I think Rourke was identified as a decent kicker but of course he’s out for a few months.
