Not much to add apart from I wish him the very best, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets on next season.

I thought Isa had a great game, he'd have been my choice. But there were many outstanding performances.

I would be delighted with Wane. His focus on youth and pride in the badge is a perfect fit for us if we want to progress. I imagine his demands will be 1) a big wage and 2) a much improved youth system/academy. It may depend perhaps on whether the club feels they can give him those things.
If we want to be a long term force in super league, getting the junior pathway working again will be critical. If we are ready and able to do that, there is nobody better in the business at making that work than Wane.

It feels like a kick in the teeth, but we ain’t going to win anything this year even if we end up as reserve team. Too many injuries, just too far to go. Best to take the rest, plan for next year and be grateful this didn’t happen any time it might have mattered. It changes nothing.

Yes, that’s a great article. Not just a pioneer in rugby league, but in world sport. A great man.

So they’re awarded a 24-0 victory whilst the castleford game is not awarded against them because they had Covid tests. Should have caught the virus instead of picking up injuries, lads.

Cancelled owing to us only having 13 fit players.

If they switch to an 8 team playoff, which is one of the mooted suggestions, and if we beat saints and castleford lose, we’d be in 8th position.
Just saying

Awful news if he were to go.
It’d have to be a bloody good financial offer for him to be worth it from his point of view. At Salford he’s having success, is adored by the fans, has a deep personal connection to the club, and a super strong relationship with the board. He’s got near infinite credit in the bank.
At Hull he will be under immediate pressure to improve a perennially underperforming team with demanding fans breathing down his neck and an owner with a track record of publicly firing a coach on live TV.
It’d have to be a bloody big pay rise to justify the move, that’s what I think. If he can get that kind of money, then it’s hard to begrudge it for the feller, but it’ll be awful to see him coach another team.

Yes that could have gone either way, but let’s not dwell on it. It won’t help anything.
At least we’re losing a higher class of game these days. They couldn’t have given any more in the match and I’m proud of them.

Enjoy the game everyone. Just hope it's a clean result, no injuries or bad refereeing decisions. Just the right team for the right reasons, and hopefully that's us!

I’m trying to be glass half full. It would be so easy for this season or this match not to have happened at all. Imagine a world where we got a heap of Covid tests the week before the game, or the season just had to be abandoned because wage reductions weren’t possible. A lot of players and staff across a lot of clubs have put a lot on the line in difficult circumstances to make this season and our big day possible.

Devastating for Sarginson and Ormondroyd, but from a team perspective it could be much worse. Assuming Evalds is fit to play it solves the four into three problem, and although Sarge has performed very well at fullback, Evalds is complete class there, whilst with Welham and Watkins the centres remain strong.
I think this is a good enough squad to win it. I can't wait.

Luke Gale is easily their most important player. He organises everything and directs them round the field. Hull had nobody able to control the game like him. They let him have loads of time on the ball, and it hurt them badly. Controlling Gale is the key to success.

So much to like about that! It could have been more if we’d taken all our chances. And really attractive to watch.
Lolohea was absolutely incredible today. A complete performance.
