Sounds like a typical slog. Hope you go well this year

Losing England in the first minute meant we were always going to be up against it but I thought we played well in the conditions. Arona and Fifita stepped up and did the work we missed by losing England.

A draw would have been a fair result but to think we could have pinched it in the last minute!

Could have gone either way, nothing to be too disheartened about today. Smarten up the discipline and we'll be fine.

Tough one to take, think a draw would have been fair but key points I reckon are:

Grix totally surprised me with how much he offered - I was surprised he was given the 1 shirt ahead of Max but I can see why now.

Defending was top drawer, shoutouts to Ashurst and Fifita who got through a load of work, along with Arona.

Thought we were the better side in terms of entertainment, but Hull just shaded us in ruck speed which got them the points in a game of fine margins

Couldnt see how close Grix was at the end, but if he'd have scored no one could begrudge us.

Albery Kelly has got a web-like substance on his hands, made 3-4 outrageous catches.

Thought Williams played well also and pretty convinced he's not a revolving door half back.

Reckon if the fixture computer had chucked out Salford instead of Hull for first game, we would have won

All in all, a good game, I really enjoyed the arm-wrestle both teams seemed to manage the conditions well and was tight all the way up to final hooter - roll on Hudds!

Just watched the highlights,

the try at the end wasn't a try, hard to tell if Grix scored the one given, looked like he might have knocked on, but hard to tell, would need another angle, so you have to go with the in goal ref.

Did anybody else think there was an offside in the build up to Hull's try ?

Sneyd went to kick the ball, at that stage all the Hull side were onside, however he decided against kicking and took a couple more steps then kicked, by which time the chasers were in an offside position, one of whom went on to score. That's how we saw it.

Doesn't really matter now, we lost and nothing can change that.

Oh yeah Im not disputing the fact it wasn't a try but it looked mighty close from the other end of the ground. Would have been a deserving matchwinner. Especially considering that 2 of your penalties were milked against the spirit of the game in my opinion. Totally legal and if Wakey had done it, I would probably be praising our cunning but still a bit sad imo.

Again, just watched the penalties for the goals and all fair enough, your players made no effort to role away, not sure what Houghton could do, Wakey got one in the first half for the same thing.

Very equal game in my opinion, but Hull had more clean breaks, particularly in the first half. Thought we could have prevented the Hull try if the ball had been palmed over the dead ball line instead of played. disappointed to have lost such a close game but we are Trinity and always seem to come off second best in such games. Faffita had a very good game, I thought.

tbf if a player is laid in a offside position then he should attempt to move away, in this case he didn't, on your penalty it was harsh, suppose we both see what we wont to see, if it had been a draw suppose nobody could have complained, good luck in the rest of your season

Personally I want to see dummy halfs picking the ball up and trying to play instead of launching it at a prone player but has happened a few times in games already this season. Cheap tactic for me, if a player is lying on the floor and keeping still then play on. Houghton could have run with it or passed in anywhere instead of launching it at the Wakey players but like I say, its in the rules and got you the 2 points so can't grumble too much.

On Houghton, thought he was class today - how he's not made the England squad is a joke.

If the player attempts to move out of the way then the attacking player still just plays the ball at them or trips over and pretends there was interference. It's a lose lose situation, but playing the ball directly at a player who isn't affecting the game by being offside is against the spirit of the game. It was obviously the Hull game plan to play for penalties as soon as they got into the Wakey half as they raised their arms after every tackle trying to claim that something had happened. They played the officials much better than Wakey did, and Wakey need to learn from that and do it themselves if they want to progress

Quite often you see an injured defender lying offside unable to get back. Under these rules the dummy half can just pick up the ball run over to the injured player, throw the ball at him and gain a penalty. It stinks and wants stopping ASAP , to me its not sport and not what the game should be about,

Yes the tactic of throwing the ball at the opponent needs to be got rid from the game.

Not only is it against the spirit of the game, it also does nothing to the game entertainment value. It is a joke as it is around the play the ball without this creeping in.

Our sport is losing interest with fans it is without making games even more scrappy

The next time there is a fracas in that Conservative Club the clowns who morphed into super-bouncers need to try ejecting the ones who were actually involved.
Mind you, glad Hulk Hogan never got involved.

Bit of a random post isn't it? What time do the pubs open in the future city of culture?

Maybe you should contact the club, there'll be no committee (bouncers) on this site.

Fully understand them wanting to make big bucks but if their gonna let us (Hull) fans until its bursting at the seams then show some responsibility to cover all eventualities.

Early, hic, hic.
And we are in the present!

Cons Club is nothing to do with Wakey. Contact Con Club direct.

Ok, point taken, I thought you'd be called city of culture half way through the events.
But still doesn't take away the fact that it's a random post.

Nowt wrong with randomness and I'm fully aware it has no links with club.
Just an observation and banter folks.
Can't be any real Conservatives in Wakey, anyway, is there?

It gets rammed before most games, never any bother (for a few years and they're barred now). It's a club, as a guest people are expected to act accordingly.

I don't think I've ever met a Conservative in there tbh
