Summed up very well there, especially when watching the players reactions at the end. Hopefully fends off some of the comments in regards to whether certain players have been playing for the shirt recently,

Although the situation is massively different, it felt like that win at Bradford all those years ago, which gave us a slim chance of staying up.
This time there still half a season to go but, we had been struggling like hell for weeks.
Our defence has been ok but, with ball in hand we have been poor, just as we were yesterday for 60 minutes.

Onwards and upwards. Already looking forward to next week

A couple of comments about not playing till the end. Although I see why, I would describe it differently.
We played 80% well all the way through the game and stepped it up when Dave came back on.
By 80% I mean we defended well and we made big yards down field. We kept the ball much better than we had been and 80% of what we needed to do we did well.
BUT, we also let ourselves down in the key moments.
Not just him but an example is pressing their line for two sets nearly getting over the line twice and then step in touch catching the next drop out.

Ultimately, we won the game because when Hull were dominant in the first half we kept them within reach, which meant a fight back was possible.
Fifita was outstanding today. Ashurst and Whitbread had great games too.
Batch and Crowther stepped up well having to play out of position too.

Max at F/B, Gaskell at centre is another option.

My MOM was Jay Pitts, despite one big error, he tackled his heart out and made yards in the first half when we were struggling.

Croft for me too. Maybe Gaskell at a push but hopefully stay away from Minns.

Croft for me also, reckon he’s busting a gut.

When we let the high ball bounce in the first half, the effort from Wakey to scramble and stop the try was phenomenal. I was watching from the flats, it was a dead set try but for the work rate from our defenders.

I agree.
It was a horrible decision from Gaskell but his team mates really dug in to help.
