Composure, ultimately it cost us. Gaskell had a cracking second half until his inevitable injury. I feel if he stays on we go onto to win. Some real school boy errors, Fifita not playing the ball properly, Tanginoa wel and truely sold a dummy. Plenty to work on

Just woke up... 4am and saw the final score... and sighed!

Now I’m going back to sleep... it’s forecast over 30 degrees today... hope you’re not all too wet!

Positives were Corey Hall confirming his ability to not only step up and play SL level but show enough to suggest he could be something special.

Tom Johnstone making his comeback after his troubles last year.

We could have done with more composure when Hull went a man down as as we needed the win because we now have three very tough fixtures. Dragons & Sts away then The Rhino’s, If we go 0 from 4 it might knock the teams confidence making the first win harder to get

That was my thoughts exactly. Really disappointed we lost that. We finally woke up at about 55 minutes and when Connor got sent off I genuinely thought we would win. We never looked like scoring in the first half (Apart from break away try) despite the amount of possession we had on Hull’s line which was very disappointing. Thought our forwards did well, with Bachelor being brilliant in attack and defence. I genuinely thought the majority of the team played well but just lacked composure at vital times. In the first half we never seemed to want to build pressure, just squandered possession. It’s not going to get any easier as you say playing the next 3.

Could have -should have -would have if they had showed more composure ,one that definitely got away from us today .Hopefully we will learn from these ,at times school boy errors and learn to build pressure without letting the opposition off the hook far too easy for my liking .20+ mins with 12 men should have been enough for us to kill the game off ,but we lacked that killer instinct when needed .

Re: Squad v hull : Sun Feb 13, 2022 5:44 pm  

Positives corey hall and tommy where good and thought fifita went well but ultimately lost to a poor weakend hull side.

Dont understand why walker didnt play, played welll last season and with hall been best pre season but dont see training.

Frustrated more than anything today hull where poor and felt wewon the forward battle and worried about how long its gonna take to get a win with the games we have coming up.

Yep...sums it up for me but don't forget we were down to 12 as well when Gaskell went off as we had used up all our interchanges
Let's hope Lino is fit for next week, but if not, then it looks like Walker will get his chance ??

Re: Squad v hull : Sun Feb 13, 2022 5:49 pm  

Same old Wakefield penalties given away when defending on Hulls line.Switching off for 15mins at beginning of second half .Panic rugby when Hull down to 12 men .We have got to find away to get Fifita and Tanginoa on the field more together .Plus side Battye ,Hall and Batch with good back up from others

How often do we come away from a game making the same old comment s.
We never never rectify the same old mistakes.
Full leader needed on the pitch, someone who can grab the game, lead by example and be given that role.
