He's a natural ball player with a bit of mongrel in him.
Kelly would be a miss, but being able to bring someone like Connor in is a massive plus.

Seems to be a re-accuring thing each season when we beat them. We were cheating/offside/best team lost/hard done too

Last year when leaving a Wakey fan said four of our tries shouldn't have been allowed in the regular round match lol

No leave Carlos at centre.Didnt see a lot of him in attack at Wakefield but his defence alongside Kelly and workrate was immense.
Having now watched the full match replay we looked fit,were composed all match apart from a couple of penalties and great goal line defence.
Wakefield will turn a few teams over at home this season.

I think that's the best option and agree about Wakey, they are a good side, who will beat a lot of the top sides especially at home, recruited really well.

Wakeys recruitment has been pretty astute. Think they'll trouble a lot of teams at home this year.
All things considered - a good win

Don't think you read my post correctly. It's called a play on words that I can't bother to explain to you , just keep jumping to ludicrous conclusions. Radford master stroke, bench and substitution. I see you haven't apologised after saying "we'll see tomorrow" but you'll probably come back with something quite banal, something like "Connor just dropped on the ball dummy", heyho, onwards and upwards.

The Grix try he got down first time. Wakey highlights (camera behind sticks) show this. Radford was very wrong there.

Kelly basically knocked adhurst out with an arm to the face (in front of the ref) causing him to lose the ball and go off with bad concussion. Ref allowed play on and hull got a penalty. That was a shocking miss from the ref only metres from it. There's a slow motion highlights showing first contact square with Ashursts face. This is not up for debate and led to the winning try.

It's all over and fair do's both teams earned something from that but to lose off the back of a player being concussed with a head shot is pretty bitter pill to swallow. Along with the questionable offsides for your last try. One of which was stood in front of bjb waiting for the kick almost as soon as snyd kicked it.

I don't begrudge hull the win at all btw. Whoever won it was hard earned. The decisive try coming from not a small but a massive referee error in front of his face is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow that's all and is just the wakey luck.

I don't like to see this creeping in at the ptb either and hopefully it's stamped out.

Probably a good tough game which will put both teams on a good track for the coming games.

wakey fans are the biggest bunch of moaning s in SL now rervers have been relegated

Michaels was carried off with a head injury at York tonight, Under 23's took full York first team close and Litten had a blinder!

And it continues, how do you know that Kelly high tackle cost you the game, there was 15 mins left, anything could have happened, unless you can see into the future, grix elbowed Griffin in front of the touch judge, Wakey got the pen, this along with a few other dubious calls, but you weren't good to to take advantage, you could have still stopped the try.

The moaning and bias from you and fans is laughable, the latest are Kelly was offside all game and every ( yes every) tackle he did was head high.

You need to except it and move on that you lost fair and square and wasn't quite good enough on the day, you should do well this year and on another day you might have won, if you had been a bit smarter.

kelly in the frame for the brinks matt and hatton garden thefts along with being a strong suspect in the jack the ripper case according to the wakey board.

Apparently he's going to lose us plenty of games but at least he got us off to a good start when ensuring a win by pole axing ashurst

Give over - the majority of Wakey supporters accept the result, admit it was a hard fought game in front of a decent crowd (for the weather) and that FC brought great away support.
For me the better team won, FC were slightly better than us so the scoreline is probably about right.

We do have some moaners I accept (some real moaning threads on our board at the min!) but overall most are ok (Jake the Peg has
never liked us anyway

)

I don't like anyone

If you bother to read my post you'll see that I point out it led to the decisive try (which it did) not that it was responsible for the loss. I'm staying a fact not whinging although disappointed.

And what a silly comment, I know there was 15 mins or so left and anything could've happened but what did happen which shouldn't was what did lead to the winning points so what exactly am I supposed to comment on?

Maybe instead of making mindless comments about other fans moaning ****s as you do elegantly put it, you should grow up and try contributing something yourself.

If you bother to reread your post, you'll see that you swallowed the bitter pill twice, maybe not so bitter if you go back for second helpings. Talking of headshots, think Wakey were penalised considerably more for them than FC? It was a good old fashioned Rugby League game played in good old fashioned Rugby League weather in a poor old fashioned Rugby League stadium. Week end off and I'm positive Ashurst will recover in time for your next game. Try to be positive and you'll go ok this season.

That above post was more for Jake.

Sorry Dave didn't see your post. There's always a few supporters that say things like offside all game etc out of bitterness. I'm not one of them few. Fact both teams were offside a lot and even more both teams not square sometimes stood metres apart.

Every tackle Kelly did wasn't high but the one he got away with proved to be decisive as from that possession hull went and scored the winning points. Guess it just shows yet more failure from the officials more than anything and another team will benefit once the MRP are done.

I didn't see an elbow from Grix at the game but equally I didn't see the punch on miller. It's swings and roundabouts really and bjb should have taken that ball on the line, I was shocked that he didn't catch it and it appeared he went to bat it which was strange as he was in a good position to go for the catch.

I'm not bitter about losing. Rather be on winning side but it was a good game and very tough on the players out there. Mostly positives for both teams i think especially in the forwards. Hull are a quality side, to match them across the field was good even despite the weather having its effects as a leveller. The defence from both teams at stages was pretty brutal too which was good to see.

Found the quote button lol. This helps

.

I haven't checked penalty count so you may be right and I can't really answer that without going through the game again. I'm not disagreeing with what your saying. I'm saying the same things, it was a good game well worth the money. The players will recover and I'm still as positive as I was before the game. Think we have the squad to get between 6-8th and fingers crossed we can do it.

Btw can you leave Ellis out of the team next time.

Good luck with your season. Should be set for a good one again.

I like Wakey and fans, the bitter rivalry between you and Whinos fans can be compared to the sometimes cruel humour of Fc and Dobbins supporters. Onwards and upwards, to Trinity and beyond.

EGP 1 match ban for Kelly confirmed.

Thinking positive I'm looking forward to seeing what Connor can do at 6

For what it is worth, I thought it was a good game in poor conditions.
For the Hull crowd to be so big on a day like that speaks volumes. Good for you guys (and for our bank balance

)

I do think the Kelly/Ashurst tackle was significant to us, but that is how it goes. We had our chances to win and didn't quite take them but most will come away happy that we were disappointed to lose, when we could have been getting a tonking in other seasons.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

would be nice but he could also put carlos to 6 and fonua to centre, bringing in michaels as per last season

Agree with Dave K, the positive thing is that Connor will be given an opportunity in his favoured position. He'll be chomping at the bit to do well.
Also means least disruption to the side, and gives him 10 days to acclimatise to the role in training.

Interesting that Wilf, did you watch the game live as the reports in the Hull daily mail were critical of Litten's defensive efforts.
