Massive game now, will go a long way to deciding who makes the six. Must be better than that second half today. To be honest it was the most disappointing hadl so far. Collectively as team we seamed to lose the plot.


Anyhow we perform as we have been doing up until that point and we have a chance, and we owe them one for earlier in the season. 

Nowt to fear, if Hull perform like they did today then we'll win. We go over there full of confidence and playing well with an enjoyable style of rugby. We're very pleasing on the eye.

Hull are a decent side and they'll be up for this.
We have to be at out best if we want to keep 6th.

I agree, a very disappointing second half after a first half master class, Too many knock-ons and a total lack of attacking ideas in that twenty minute spell in their twenty metres area. 

i don't think it was a total lack of attacking ideas because we should have scored at least 3 or 4 tries, if we'd have just passed the ball properly, there was that one with Walmsley when he threw a forward to Rourke, when he should have let it go earlier, there was one i  where I think Jowitt threw it to Walmsley but he put too much on it & it went into touch. Tbh, without watching it back, I lost count of the number of tries we butchered, there were just too many. I remember Hood went for a quick pick-up a couple of meters out, to dive over after a good run from Hall, and knocked on when the line was wide open. So many times where we were in their 20 and just made mistakes we just didn't make in the first half, and we should have put another 30 points on them imo. We dominated the game and territory, but we went away from playing the structures we trained and executed in that first half and went looking for that miracle pass a few too many times, plus started making silly erors, and we also let Catalans make us get into a bit of an ugly game for a bit. Seems to happen quite often when teams get so on top in the first half, they just can't keep the standards the same the whole 80, and the scoreboard seems to affect how they play. Still, we nearly put 50 on Catalans, a team we've usually had trouble with, so we can't grumble too much. We got the 2 points, and our points difference is healthy.

That second half, though, leaving to one side the tries we should have scored, etc, seemed to last forever, and had too many drawn-out stoppages. Those Captains' challenges do nothing for the game in their current form, and the amount of time it took the video ref to decide on fairly straightforward things like TJ's last try just sapped the life out of the game. The second half must have lasted 10 minutes longer than the first.



Anyway, with that same team and play how we did for 60 minutes or so, we should do just fine. As I said, I think the drop off was a symptom of going for miracle passes and not playing to structure because we were scoring so easily, knock that on the head and hopefully we can have a little winning streak going in the next few games.
