Fri 23 Apr: SL: Hull FC v Wakefield Trinity KO 19:45 (Sky)

[DavidM]

I agree with Baz’s assessment of fullback play ... you dont need to jump unless you need to 

[Just Browny]

Not sure I followed why Griffin was entitled to jab Leno in the chin 4/5 times when he should have been playing the ball.

[Davo5]

Wakefield look more dangerous when Hull have the ball.

[bobbruce]

Doesn’t he have to be the right side of the ptb to get involved in that play

[MZH]

We ain't winning from here.

[GUBRATS]

That should have been ' play on ' 

[DavidM]

Been an interesting game but imo theyve both looked pretty average

He never got back after the tackle, he was offside.

 

Hull should be fummin over that

[Just Browny]

Westerman has had a fair old game tonight.

[DavidM]

That looked easy .

[Man of Kent]

Wakefield look like they don’t have an attack coach, like they don’t know what they’re doing. Woeful with ball in hand at times.

[MZH]

Not a great performance by any means but a gutsy one. Wakefield really took it to us and we had to dig deep. You could see we were tired after last week.

[Angelic Upstart]

Wakey will look back on tonight's game and think that's one that got away.

[weloveyouwakefield2]

Turning point for me (amongst the many ridiculous things that happened) was max jowitt being taken out before half time. Player gets sun binned but can come back on whereas max is off for the game. Attack to the head with no attempt to tackle...

Not sure about hampshire at 6

[Just Browny]

I hoped it would never end, I wanted to see more drop goal attempts.

Hull of old lose that. Wakey look fine on that performance. Now if they can just get that bloody ground fixed we'd have another club snooping around the playoffs. 

Hull playing well, Catalan playing well and Cas in last year of this cycle. Is this the year we get a new Grand Final winner?

Thought Wakey were on the wrong end of breaking the bad habit losing which is a hard habit to break, those little important things go against you, a fumble,  a misdirected pass, a dubios call at the wrong time, good effort, very good effort, they will win a few games to ensure safety with this form.

No Chucking Fance.

[Clogiron]

On the evidence so far it's gone from a three team league to a two team comp, and the bottom half of the rest only have to worry about two games in the season, against Leigh.

What is understandably frustrating for fans is that Tetevano saw red for his tackle the other week and Faraimo saw yellow for a very similar tackle today.

I thought at the time that the Tetevano shot was worth a yellow especially as Fages got up (After milking the penalty of course), didn't even go off for a HIA and played on unaffected. Seemed fair enough tonight for the Hull guy to get a yellow even though it ended Jowitt's game and probably has him out for a week due to HIA.  Lets see what the disciplinary make of it.  

 

[DimmestStar]

If Wakefield had a semblance of cutting edge they win this game.

It's coaching for the purpose penalty, always have your feet off the floor in case someone hits you

Just checked, and apparently it's not the year of the wolf, in fact there is no year of the wolf.... have they been lying to us?

Another 2 points and could easily have been a bigger margin.  Wakey had a dig and some big efforts by their forwards.

One of the main differences in Hull this year is the attitude being instilled by Hodgson.  Mistakes are made but just get on with the job:

“We do not want to discourage that type of rugby, we want to be making a massive amount of opportunities and nine times out of ten, Jake hits that pass.”

 

[Hela Wigmen]

I’ve only seen a short clip but how did Hull FC not have Faraimo sent-off for contact with the head?
