Anyone watch the academy? If so any standout backs at the moment? (just out of curiosity).

This is a very good point and I think this what Justin mentioned he had changed at half time.
In the first half how many times did Webster get made to look a t!t becuase he was having to front up to the Second Row+ Centre with him falling off the Second Rower because he had half an eye on the Centre.
I think cooke was pushed further left which pushed Newton further left to plug that gap and that actually seemed to have a double effect that it also meant Clint was nearer Chase on the later tackles and Chase seemed to be working Castlefords right side.

Rovers defence improved when they stopped targetting the second receiver and numbered up holding their line. This stopped our defender being isolated 2 on 1 and forced their wide men to come inside. A simple but very effective structural change.

There was also a very definate positional shift.

There may well have been but for me it was the technical change of holding thier line that plugged the gaping gaps that were evident earlydoors.

Probably both tbh.

not very

all hail Zod

Too many channels?...

you reckon

He's just finished apparently.

Is that all you lot have got

We've got a lovely trophy in our cabinet as well.

And bragging rights until next season

ok i will give it to you, your nines victory blows our 2 derby wins this season (7 out of 10), and finishing third in Superleague after 3 years, out of the water, well done Gateshull,

We have a trophy and the fastest player in Hull ..... you have neither

oh how the mighty have fallen, well I say mighty.....

Aww bless ya.

SL clubs have 4 trophies they can win at the start of every year, we've won 1 of them what have you won ?

not all super league teams entered a team

its just a shame the super league is'nt a nines competition, you would have something to laugh about. having gone to headingly last night, i think that is the most homework your coaching staff have done before a game!

Just remind me again which 4 trophies Sts and Wigan can win

Just look at how far you have fallen, you told us "Dobbins" we would never get into superleague, when we won the grand final and did you said we would go straight back down, we never we secured superleague status by ripping you apart at the KC 6-42, the "eight easy points " you said you would take fron the derbies in the first year...well 3 years later you still avent got them ..we are in front in superleague derbies 7-3...so well done on your Carnegie nines trophy that you are bragging to us "Dobbins " about, bet you never thought you would see the day the mighty black & whites were happy they won the Carnegie nines ....gloating to their neighbours in the play offs.....

Poor old Foxy. I suppose he'll just have to settle for being one of the best wingers in the league [iwithout[/i being the fastest.

And he has the amazing ability to run forwards

Just think how easily Agar could have stopped all the angst on your board and the constant Agar out, board out lets have a sit in threads that have been the staple of the B&W forum. All he had to do was let you all in on the fact that he has rested most of the first team squad all year to concentrate on the 9's.
