Watching a different game to me. Other than offload game, they've been average to poor.
It was a bit like watching a re-run of last week's game, another scruffy error ridden contest between two teams who weren't great but with one of them coming up with enough moments of quality. Had a real end of season feel about it, which of course was exactly what it was.
The big difference for me was that Leeds tended to pass to a team-mate when in the Hull's twenty whereas Hull passed the ball to a Leeds player or the touch judge. Gave ourselves a chance in the second half but Jake Clifford's failure to land a single conversion meant we couldn't get close enough to really put the pressure on. Losing Liam Sutcliffe so early in the game was costly in more ways than one.

No idea which way this is going to go but it's a glorious afternoon for it.

Remco Evenepoel has a superb command of English. Watching today's live coverage he's also learnt some very choice expressions.

This thread has turned into the longest rally since Alcaraz v Djokovic.

This match has been mainly FC fans commenting before and after the game, writing Warrington off as a likely win for FC and when Warrington won convincingly they still expect Warrington to lose most of their four games left. This season has been very unpredictable with teams on a run (winning or losing) picking up quite a few one or the other, so I wouldn't be surprised if Warrington win 3 of their last 4.
I think it was mainly fans of other clubs writing Warrington off beforehand.
Most of us Hull fans are far more cautiously pessimistic when it comes to our team's prospects.

We're going to be an extra half too now Trueman has done his Achilles. Could miss a chunk of the beginning of the season and I'm not sure how much we can rely on him not getting another as he has form now for picking up significant ones. Poor lad.
Gutted for him. I really hope he can overcome this latest setback.
Big blow for the team too. Our best efforts have been on the back of his partnership with Clifford.

It’s like when Springsteen brings out Born To Run for his encore after a 3 hour set. Everyone’s been waiting for it, it’d be cruel to disappoint the fans.
I do sometimes wonder if the self parody is intentional.
Then you see a close up of the fans in the East Stand...

It’s one thing Hull writing this season off as part of the rebuild, but seriously, what do people see in the current signs of 2024 squad building that provides a platform for optimism?
Genuine question
One positive for me is that we're addressing the sheer lack of size in the pack. Not just with the overseas players but with some of the younger players at the club. When Will Gardiner came on yesterday he dwarfed most of the rest of the pack.
As things stand we'll be competitive next season but we'll need to pull another Jake Clifford style rabbit out of the hat to make any real impact. The real platform for optimism for me are the reserves and academy players. We're up there with the best clubs in the game at that level and there's some genuine quality there.

Hull were very poor with the ball. We lost Trueman in the first half (looks serious, was clutching his leg immediately). We were with Houghton also, meaning we were relying on Dwyer (and you never get any settled structure with that guy!). Dwyer must have knocked on from a scoot half a dozen times. Just runs into no where and freaks out with dummies until he gets smashed! Our completion rate must have been absolutely shocking.
I think missing Hoy, Tuimavave, Houghton, Sao, Taylor and then Trueman was too much for us to have any real chance attacking. Defence was ok, but we missed a lot of one-on-ones against Williams and Dufty that ultimately cost us.
Wire as a team leveled up in defence. I'd say Hull had a huge amount of territory and couldn't do anything to get through (although we did make it easy by just surrendering the ball!). Their attack consisted of individual efforts rather than team plays. It wasn't a great performance from either side in attack.
Hull's season is all but over. They need to win all 4 games to have a slight chance and must rely on the others to only get 2 (only one can get more). Possible, but not likely.
Warrington didn't show me enough to believe they can get 3 wins in the last 4. Think it's Rovers and Salford.
We were just missing too many of the players who make us tick but we've been fortunate with injuries thus far so we can't complain too much on that score.
I thought the game itself was pretty poor. It was riddled with errors and the skill level from both teams was way off. Warrington did enough to deserve the win though, especially when they stopped passing the ball to Hull.
That's our season done now. Wouldn't like to say which two sides are going to be making up in the numbers in the play-offs but it's going to be interesting to watch.

Not sure who else is a fan, but I liked the silly/surreal Channel 4 comedy Nightingales enough to buy the DVD box set, back when it was full price.
Happened across it by chance one evening and was immediately hooked. Probably the first time I noticed the brilliant David Threlfall.

Anyone that's in Perpignan the Friday night, there is a free music festival at the Palace of the Kings of Mallorca (the castle) from 6pm
That's well worth a visit even without the added bonus of a music festival.

I remember him well.
What a fine player he was.

Yes, I'd like both teams to lose.
Well yes but given our next two fixtures, Warrington losing was a good outcome from our perspective.

It really is very enjoyable. Thought the Dragons were about to talk control but credit to Leigh they regained the initiative in great style.

Met a mate yesterday at the homecoming what you can see is the result of HKR fan who immediately Lachy Lam dropped the goal decided to hit the nearest Leigh fan to him and then he ran off.
My son was there with his Hull KR supporting mate and they witnessed the assault on your friend. My lad said it was a completely unprovoked attack on somebody who was just enjoying the moment. I sincerely hope the lowlife responsible doesn't get away with it.

Hudds knock on after the kick off, Saints then knock on but the entirely lenient towards Huddersfield Thaler gives Saints six again and then a penalty.
Percival bangs it over,
Saints 20 Hudds 6.
Clear red card.

Dufty was Warrington's matchwinner at Hull last week. He seems to cop an inordinate amount of criticism.
