Thought we were pretty average overall. ellis was immense and logan had a good game with sneyd showing some good touches. If we ever found an attacking threat we'd be great but as it is we spend plenty of time in good attacking positions but still struggle to score. We looked worryingly easy to score against today too.

Can't see anything but 3 losses between now and the split

Loads of effort and commitment today, team spirit seemed fine, no negative body language but still far too many basic handling errors. Our defence was also disappointing as I thought we would have been able to handle their attacking threat much better than we did. Still I'll take the two points.

We always looked the most likely to win the game.
A wins a win, but it's pretty depressing that our season partly hinged on beating a pretty poor Wakefield team.

Ellis was a monster today. If we'd had Sneyd on Wednesday, we'd have won, without a doubt.

Wakefield played on a piffpoor referee who let them lie on every single tackle, time-waste all game and niggle.

Really pleased for Logan who now should keep that spot. If he can forge a partnership with Michaels, that will do me.

What is worrying is that we needed a drop goal against a terrible bottom table club. Our defence has fallen to pieces. If we didn't have an outstanding pack, we'd be looking towards bottom 2.

It was disappointing that we didn't defend the first error that led to the try particularly as we would have been pretty fresh then. The second try obviously wasn't a defensive error but an attacking one. The 2 they scored in the second half were good tries. We could have done better but our defence wasn't catastrophic IMO. Helps if you kick the goals.

That's the way I feel too.
Pleased we've won but hardly buoyed by the fact that yet again we are having a poor season, only just beaten the bottom side and are still playing so inconsistently poor.

What I find puzzling is that we were like this earlier in the season then transformed completely but we've now reverted to type. Some of our attempts at attack are worse than watching U11's

Don't think it was that bad overall. 6 tries and 2 held ups is a lot better than we managed earlier in the season.

We were playing the bottom side with the worst defensive record in SL though.

Always tough after 3 games in 9 days and low on confidence against a team that are much improved and high on confidence, hopefully we can kick on from here,

Thought there 3rd try was a really poor effort from Rankin who should have dealt with the kick better.

I said the same. He's not great at FB. I think shaul would have covered that and wouldn't have conceded the 1st try against leeds in the cup

I hear Shaul is on the naughty step, strange tweet from him last night.

I'll be fuming if we lose him.

You're right about the third try thought Rankin wasn't deep enough then turned and ran in treacle.

Anyone who thought we just turned up and played hard fast clean rugby and blow them away whilst understandably low on confidence and basically revisiting easter with 3 games in not much more than a week was being very nieve. I got what I expected. Scrappy rubbish with some low intensity. Got some great tries to be fair. Logan was another hi point. (11 in 5 games across all levels)A week prep on back of a win could do wonders for confidence. 2 more gears to find at least to beat cas but today was a good point to try rekick our season

Saw that tweet. Did prick my curiosity. It read as being a rebellious statement to me

Definite mistake by Rankin for their third but don't forget the try saving tackle he made and the really good finish for his try.

a wins a win, we looked tired at times but that's to be expected,i think we can win 2 out of the 3 games,and no I havnt been on the wacky baccy

Happy with the result as a wakey fan. We had a 17 year old debut at 1 and 2 18 year olds play most of the game with our first choice forwards taking a break. Also Ali and Ashurst successfully returning from long lay offs. Considering we can add

Scruton, Simon, smith, godinet, Locke, kirmond, annakin, kirke, Owen, Malloy, washy into that I thought the young team and players who got a chance showed up well. Certainly hard not to be happy with that and I think that's the general feeling from wakey fans all round. It's promising for the 8's that so many squad players can put in some decent performances like that.

We are not the same wakefield who rolled over and Its a shame we didn't get smith in earlier.

Not having a go at you here, but we hear this every week & shows how weak we are. It's always the opposition & never seems to be us that plays the ref & see what we can get away with.

Brian smith complaining that we got the best out of the ref

We got more penalties as they were trying to slow us down, I'd Child or a stronger ref had been in charge we would have had more penalties and someone in the bin or change their style.

We should have held down more once we realised the reffing style.

what did it say?

All i saw was jamie tweeting i love hull fc

Same the other way with off side. He wasn't great today but that wasn't the difference.

The thing that made you win was that you stuck with it to the end.
After the schedule you've had your forwards had every right to be completely knackered late on and let things slip.
They weren't perfect but they did enough to win.

Well done. Hope you get enough points to stay in the 8.

I love hull fc and that's all that needs to be said

I read it as some kind of preemptive statement. Just struck me as odd and random at half 10 on a sat night and that its since been deleted
