  1. Correct. Nobody has said Widnes are poor at defending out wide when Wynne galloped in for two late on. The trick is to draw defenders to the middle and then throw the ball to the edges quickly. You don't want teams to get cheap barge over tries, so it's vital sometimes to have a short line defence. I think all our tries were executed out wide even Halls try despite him being able to go under the sticks.
  2. I got ready to be miserable with seven minutes to go. That's what the championship rugby is about. Good fightback by good opposition and an exciting finish for the home crowd. Well done both sets of players especially Wynne who played well. It was baffling when Widnes were held up over our line on the last tackle but were given more tackles to score. There didn't seem to be a wipe out by the ref. Enjoyable when you win but Widnes played well.
  3. We all tend to put the blame onto the ref for our teams shortcomings and you can't blame commentators for being a little bias towards their own team but this guy and Gledhill at Bradford are real comedy value. Thaler did a good job except for that disallowed Widnes try. For the life of me I couldn't see anything wrong. Maybe Thaler thought the grounding was suspect but it seemed that the ball bounced up after downward pressure. That bit of Morganesque quote during commentary ( for those who can remember Mick Morgans commentaries) when the guy became totally exasperated and said something on the lines of " what the hell are they doing?" was priceless. I agree with TPH above Widnes have got some good shape and will be more than a threat tomorrow if they are allowed to play like that.
  4. Yeah he sent her to Russia and then into space. Which other man would have thought of that idea?
  5. Does anybody know who else has got a multi millionaire Father-in-law ? For when Mark steps down.
  6. I am tipping 22-22 after being 16-0 down. With Reynolds booting over the touchline conversion.
  7. That's the only worry I have Mark. When you take DR players they are normally young eager players trying to prove a point. A few of the Leeds players 'cut their teeth ' with Rovers. Ben has nothing to prove. Just let's hope he gives his all tomorrow. He is something we are missing since Lacans got injured. I, like the majority of fans felt betrayed by his sudden departure but it may have had something to do with the club needing urgent monies. Only tomorrow will tell
  8. Hull of course cannot be relegated any time soon. So it doesn't matter who takes the hot seat so to speak. And if the players that can't be motivated because they know they can't be relegated then wait and see what happens when they are playing in front of 3000 fans and super league becomes a nonentity. By the way asking for a friend "Are IMG still with us?"
  9. We supporters of Fev can only wish that we have got money. They allegedly are just catching up paying former players what is owed. Fev unsurprisingly will not be a force to be reckoned with this season so it would be wise not to use them as a benchmark.
  10. I think Tennison especially will become a good super league player. I was disappointed when he went off. When he bulks up he will become a good asset to any team. Gorman too has potential and both played well. A win at Featherstone will give Bradford fans hope for the season but they too with their injuries lacked any real spark and only time will tell what positions these two teams will occupy at the end. Its early doors and given that Toulouse lost at home to Swinton and with Batley yet to post a win despite a good performance against us makes this season more difficult to predict.
  11. Jones .....100% every game he plays Aekins Addy
  12. The ref was just poor in general . I think he pulled Lilley up for being offside and he had collected his own kick.
  13. Good job we were playing that Bradford side today otherwise we could have been humiliated. Too slow at play the ball leading to one man stuff. Even when they were down to twelve men and camped on their line we were trying the one man stuff. The same team spirit shown in previous weeks wasn't there. However it's what it is with the injuries and suspensions. We will have to get used to not being one of the big guns anymore.
  14. Tell you what though. There plan is actually working because without any people in it, you can tell what a nice stadium that Hull have got and that's what it's all about.
  15. Some nice empty seats at Hull yesterday in their meaningless fixture with Huddersfield. IMGs master plan looks like it might be starting to kick in.
  16. Could be we signed Elsie by mistake instead of Dennis. That's just one thought
  17. Just think that if you bring 2000 spectators like Wakey did at that price we can afford to pay a couple of our players
  18. We couldn't really tell from we were sat what really happened as regards the sin binnings but I thought Trinity were fortunate not to have a sin binning regarding a tip tackle. This particular ref like all the young refs are keen to dish out some yellows during a match. It was unfortunate for us that it happened at a crucial point in the match when Fev fought their way back into the ascendency. A brilliant turn out from Trinity and a lot more Fev fans were in attendance this time round. As someone else pointed out the Fev fans left the ground proud of the performance knowing that there isn't that much between the sides.
  19. Good result Coolie. Batley played really well against us (Fev). That result should give the Rams a real lift. The championship this time is already speaking volumes. Batley will shock a few clubs and a win like that over them can only inspire the Rams.
  20. Don't think Wakey are as effective as Leigh was when they were in the championship. Two men sin binned and it was only three tries to two. It did look ominous when we went 12- 0 down but this team is built around team spirit this season. Well done to the players that stepped in for our injury situation. With Bussey Day and Lacans back we will be difficult to beat.
  21. Thanks for that Mark. I thought that the fact we had some star quality forwards would have restricted his Fev playing career. Remember some of his goal kicks would tower far above the uprights on a few occasions.
