I dislike the draw concept. Sport is about winning. Not drawing.

I disagree personally but GP seems to be here to stay.

Both sides were absolutely awful with the ball tonight but Hull tackled their hearts out and showed a resilience that hasn't been there for years prior to Smith coming in.

Absolutely .TBF the conditions where awful for both teams. But proud of the effort our lads gave tonight. We all know we need changes but credit due we gave everything tonight

Was going to post something similar. Hull of previous years would have rolled over and had they belly tickled.

Lacked skill and strength but very good effort.

Going in the right direction under uncle Tony

Big effort, poor game, very stop start. Injuries not helped, Fash will be back, hopefully Sao and Hoy too.

Last season that would have been a 40 point plus defeat.

Hope Balmforth gets a chance off the bench, unless salary cap implications?

Big last 5 games.

With,Evans,Griffin and Wynne gone,surely theres enough cap space to play Balmforth??
my feelings, he'll play Lovodua who clearly has no future at the club.
Both Balmforth and Staveley need blooding soon,
they need to experience the power and pace of SL before next season ~ IMO.

Last week gp was great, tonight it was crap.

Would have been a crucial point and was very much deserved, Great effort.

Litten passed his HIA thankfully so he'll be available next week.
Hamstring issue for Taylor.
