Even the most rose tinted wearing of fans know & accept we have a squad that is far too lightweight to make any challenge in SL. There is no argument we are and have been poor in the most part due to the recruitment/retention since the the end of 2017.
Taking that into account reaching the play offs or getting close would be an achievement in itself and a huge turnaround from the last 3-4 years of total implosions mid season.
No one is getting carried away or thinks we are a team that can challenge but the playoffs is a goal that isn’t unachievable which is what COYU is saying and today is certainly a test of the mentality as Dave said.

The number of players not been offered renewals says all we need to know and just reaffirms what many fans have said the past few seasons.

Was wondering if it’s skinny jeans trainers and t shirt today, or boots and rain coat, the ref seems to dislike both teams so it’s set for a bottom of the table clash with one team fighting for their existence, and the other dreaming of a possible sixth position, which early in the season the way we was playing, I’d have accepted this scenario gratefully, come on yu ull.

I’d say more snorkel and flippers the amount of rain we’ve had.

Looks like a break in the weather now Chris, nice sunny walk up.

Ligi not in the team, big blow

Yes that’s a blow but a chance for Brown. Shame Staveley injured think he’d been a big plus on the bench over Joey.
Wonder what kind of performance we will get from Dwyer today.

Test our mentality against a 2nd bottom team you for real ?

How's that nonsense ? If We lose to saints and Wigan we won't reach the play offs

Lovely.

Blimey bit of a crapathon.

its not a good game but that was a nice move from the set scrum wide instead of in the middle of the park for McIntosh to score
Nice to see something different

Got to be satisfied with that result. Salford and Leeds losing as well.

Good result in the end.
A bit of an odd game really, comfortable winners without ever really feeling like we got going.
We defended well on the whole though, had to soak up a lot at times.
I hope whoever the Wakey player was that went off was OK too.

Getting the 2 points was the main thing but nice to run up some points while doing so. Could have done to have gone straight into a game next week in my opinion with the momentum of a good win. Weeks off done always help.

I'm never confident but that scoreline exceeded my expectations.

A nice weekend. All around us got beat, bar Huddersfield. But we have them to play on our muck.

Next game is probably our toughest game left, on paper. If we can get a surprise victory there, then it's game on.

Wasn't expecting 40 points today , I thought it would have been a lot closer but great result in the end .

More things just seemed to stick for us in the second half.

Jordan Lanes best game this season. Really chuffed for Mcintosh to see him continue his good form.

Gale got the assist of the game. Pinpoint pass for Mcintosh hat trick try...

We'll really miss Swift and Clifford.

Thought Houghton and Taylor went well again.

Both deserve a one year deal and we can't afford to let more players go!

Great to see McIntosh continue his good form. Most of us had written him off early this season but he's proved us wrong and looks a very decent player now.

I honestly can't believe you don't understand, ok yes I can. On paper this game is a game we should have won buy Hull FC teams of old would have got beat by a confident Wakey team.

So we passed the test, which I don't think you did for your Maths GCSE, if you still think we need to win every gane to finish in the play offs. 2 points behind, with a good fixture list and clawing the points back.

Anyway how anyone tell me how we played, who went to the game, currently on a flight to Qatar (worth the $10, to see the result)?

Bit of a stop start game but we played the perfect game plan.
Some excellent tries scored and really good individual performances.
Lane was a lot better today.
Cam Scott continued his good form.
Blow out scoreline probably flatters a bit but it’s it certainly makes our points difference look a bit more respectable.

A bit slapdash at times such as the long ball over Swift's head into touch just after we'd got a six again near their line.

In the end though a decent win. Some nice passages of play. Clifford very good again in the main. McIntosh continuing his impressive form, seems very high in confidence. Great to see. Litten safe as houses at the back.

Other results went our way today having at one point both looked like going the other way. Just two points off fifth place and our PD has got closer to Salford's and Huddersfield's.

I certainly don't expect a result at Wigan but the Warrington game is massive especially if they have appointed a new coach by then. Win that and we are definitely in the mix for the top six.

good win, chipping away at that awful points difference. First half thought we played safety first containing rugby, made Wakey run with the ball a bit more without doing much with it, second half, when they were visibly tiring we cut loose

even though we beat Cas by less, Wakey seemed a lot more expansive team than Cas, can see them getting the win over them

Didn't really see the Langi incidedent with Savelio was put on report. Anyone with a clearer view?

Didn't see it clearly but I noticed Kendall who was a few yards away let play carry on. He stopped it when he saw Langi was injured. The linesman who was further away decided to get involved which resulted in a penalty and put Savelio on report.

Haven't heard anything just hope Langi is ok.

strange one, none of the officials saw anything wrong at the moment of collision, looked purely accidental, yet somehow Kendal gives a penalty!
