Personally thought our forwards battered yours last night.

For the most part they did, apart from Andy Raleigh who was unstoppable until his finger got dislocated

The pressure comes from getting nowhere running it down the middle. It forces teams to try and move the ball about more, resulting in risky passing and errors. If you'd played the game to a good standard you'd know what pressure an enveloping defence puts on you and what it results in. Still, I don't mind if you disagree as the 2 points are all that matters and most of the teams we've played this season seem to be making lots of "unforced" erorrs. May be a pattern emerging

We were throwing risky passes from the first minute. Pressure doesn't come into that. Look, I'm not taking anything away from Hull because they fully deserved their win but we were very, very poor.

We missed Eorl and Griff big time.

Hudds need to complete more sets. Do that and you'll have an OK season.

Spot on.

I have posted on the Wigan and Saints boards that I think you'll finish above Hull this season.

As soon as you got back into the game you made costly errors. Otherwise you would have won the game comfortably.

I still don't think it would have made a difference. If we apply the same logic to what we are with Huddersfield here (If only this and that) with FC then we would have probably being out of site before Half Time. Granted you didn't plsy to your best but we didn't either, thought we won the game of our pack dominating yours and doing the basics much better.

Hudds for me just tried to score of every play and lacked a general on the park to control things.

Better ball control and there is no doubt in my mind you would have won that game.

If we had been more clinical...it would have been over at H/T and thier coach has admitted that.

Reading Browns comments on Sporting Life I totally agree with him.

Hodgson scored in our first set and we must have thought we'd won already. It was so poor it was untrue.

And if we'd cut out the mistakes on their line the game would have been over by half time.

What was your point again?

Can't argue with that. Our props were totally ineffective.
