rumours going around that Ellis has a back injury and Kelly has a knee injury. I wouldn't read too much into these rumours though, let's just see who gets picked on Sunday. The wakey 19 looks decent, hard to choose who wouldn't make the cut

Yep, just what I read on their site with Kelly and Ellis has a bad back. Don't know if their injuries are true or not.

I haven't seen it to be honest, probably jealous Rovers fans starting rumours, happened a few times last season with Sneyd.

Thought that you'd kissed & made up with the Robins, now that you dont play in the smae league

Back to the match. Cold, wet and a little windy. Not a day to throw the ball about. Let's see how good the forwards are as that's where it will be won today.

The weather is a bit of a leveller, it's all about who controls the ball the best along with a good kicking game. Here's hoping .

Simply due to conditions today this would be my 17:

Grix
Johnstone
Tupou
Lyne
BJB
Finn
Williams
England
Sio
Huby
Ashurst
Kirmond
Arona

Wood
Fifita
Walker
Annakin

--------
Miller
Crowther (Be happy for him to be on bench a close call)

Think this team will play the conditions better

At last!!!

Miller is a total waste in these conditions IMHO he simply can't function at all. Don't get me wrong I love his off the cuff style of play but it's all ducking and diving stuff where as today they will be luck to just stand up.

Finn is made for this kind of game and Williams looks far more adaptable. Miller is a potent attacking player from April onwards IMHO and nothing wrong with that.

Think your forwards are better, as much as I hate to say it, Wakefield by 8+

No crowther or Anakin in the 17. Team on twitter

Thoroughly enjoyed that. Proper rugby league. Intensity, grit, defence. Shame two conned penalties were the difference.

Kirmond's past it (awaits inevitable childish abuse)

Good game of old fashioned rugby league. Hull didnt look threatening at all with the ball and if Anthony England was still available I reckon we'd of skimmed it.

Thought he had a decent game myself.

Lost the game but, plenty of positives to take away.
Again, errors cost us the game and with anything close to an even share of possession we would have won.
Hull went with a very basic game plan and it looked like they were going to come unstuck.
Pity about the knock on from the bomb but, more to be happy about than to be disappointed about.

A more important test against Shudds next time out, Come on Trin !

Very unlucky there.

Yes two conned penalties cost us.

Would like to see the two tries we had chalked off too.

Losing England was a major loss. Hope he and Allgod back for next game.

Good team effort overall with Grix MoM for me

Has anyone given Sneyd a penalty yet? Begging for it all game.

Unlucky to lose, could have gone either way

I thought Kirmond was as good as conditions allowed a forward of his size. Damn site more reliable than butter fingers Arona. Another crucial mistake by BJB was the difference between win and loss for me.

Disappointed but not disheartened I thought we tackled well and lasted the full 80 mins. Only difference was Hull had more kick able penalties. Arona had his best game in a Wakefield shirt .

Excellent energy to say we were a forward down for 75 mins. Lacked the quality to punish their mistakes. Good effort overall. This is definitely one that got away.

thought we played well and there is plenty to build on especially ball control and cutting out stupid forward passes, these are things we need remedy.

the fact that Hull had to revert to milking penalties in order to win the game shows how hard we pushed them. It was obvious what they were up to after the first one they pulled on Sio and yet they were able to do the trick 2 or 3 more times before we were smart enough to work it out was very disappointing.

One last point thought Anthony Walker stood up really well and has shown great improvement since he first arrived.

Would be very interested to see the two tries we had chalked off.

Had this game have been televised, they could well have sent them upstairs to the video referee.

Think its time technology was used in all games or not at all.

Those teams that are on TV every week get an unfair advantage.

Poor decisions have cost us two games on the trot against Hull

Happy enough with that performance. Hull spent the entire game trying to get into our half and then milk a penalty. Great effort in defence with only a handful of errors, all of which can be forgiven considering the prevailing conditions. They never gave up, and even looked like they could take the win in the 79th minute. Plenty to be happy about from that, and I'm more convinced than ever that we can easily make the top 8. We played Hull in the conditions that they play best in, and went toe to toe with them for the full 80min

Disagree with your last point, we have gone out and signed players to play more than a forwards game, don't think the conditions suited either team and it could have gone either way. Agree on your point about Wakey, don't think you will be far off the 8's although hard to tell how either team will do after today, but a top effort from both sides.

Hard to tell on the disallowed try's in your ground, but Radford has just said your try was a knock on as he has just watched it.

Good luck for the season and hopefully see a few of you at the KC.

Quite happy with that, we pushed a quality side for 80 mins and could have nicked it.
Tom Johnstones tackling was superb especially in the 2nd half and the kid has a great rugby brain.
I also thought David Fifita was awesome and lifted the team during his spells, he's a great player to have.

All in all I saw enough to think we could have a decent season.
