We didn't have enough options in attack.



If Lee had been playing this season we would have won today's game by 16 points & beaten Leeds last week.



There was a point where we were attacking their line & I said to my mate 'we are in' & then said no I forgot Brett & Lee weren't playing.

Few points other than a kick to joel are coming off backs.

That says something in itself.

I'm hoping that next Sunday against London we will have our 1st choice 1 - 6 - 7 playing. Then we will [ustart [/uto see which way our season is going.

we can only score from kicks. Atkins stank again, stood off three tackles at the back end of the game and just doesn't communicate with our horrible left edge defence.

Edge defence let us down again, in particular Atkins, aside from that I thought we were pretty solid and did the basics well. Combinations don't develop over night, they take time, so the most important thing today was getting over when we could and controlling territory. Would love to see Gaz keep his spot when Russell comes in, and move stef to centre over Atkins, won't happen though...

I'm sure Ormsby thinks your better looking markm

Atkins was ok today, ran it in hard and was solid. He wasnt put in any positions by the halfs to look good in attack.

Only heard it on the radio so can't say a lot but the presenters thought O'Brien had another good game, any money he's dropped and Atkins retains his place.

O'Brien put a few decent intelligent kicks in today. The one for the knock on in the corner by the West & North stand was sublime due to the weather conditions. O'Brien was good in defence but does get caught at times in possession.

One dimensional in attack, not spreading the ball out to the backs enough IMO. Still suspect goal line defence.



Hill, Waterhouse and Benny working their socks off in the pack. Verdict is out on Asotasi yet, for an experienced ex international prop he doesn't seem to have that fear factor in the opposition like Morley and Carvell did. I'd like to see him taking the ball up more and coming in as first tackler.



On early season showing I think both Hull and Wire look average mid table teams, they should both make the 8 with a couple of places separating them.



Having watched the first three games of this season it makes me appreciate more the attacking flare of the team I had the pleasure of watching over the last few years.



Overall 2 points gained and at least we have a few players to come back from injury.

Good points but there were positives today. England, Ben Evans & Laithweight held their own and O'Brien played well defensively against Ellis. Let's not forget we still have Woody, Harrison and Russell to play. "Join me in chasing away the boo boys"

Agreed. Left edge defence was appalling, absolutely dreadful. Other points for me:



I thought Asotasi put in a few really big shots today which knocked the Hull players backwards. A good sign he might be coming into some form.



Laithwaite and Evans did well from the bench again.



Another load of stupid 4th and 5th tackle penalties and silly offload attempts,.



Still, it's a win!
