There bench was one of the weakest that will.have played any super league game this season and not to score a point in the last thirty minutes was pity poor I thought

we were solid and workmanlike without breaking any pots.i'd like to see the attack coming together a bit more cohesively over the next couple of weeks ready for the semi.

That seems to be the difference between us and the other 3 in top 4. We switch off and go through the motions where as the others go for the sword and score 60+ points

Having said all that it comes down to 1 game in 4 weeks time

I think second half we were trying our best not to concede and pick up injuries rather than scoring points. The game was won and we really don't need injuries now.

Oli Holmes major hamstring injury anyone know? Season ender?

The way he went down and was helped off did not look promising at all.

I don’t think we really got out of second gear tbh , and we didn’t have to . Reiterating what a Hull fan said after the game , if we had needed to win by 40 to secure Top 4 , we would have . Bad news for Oggi but thought Wardle did well and with Jesse maybe fit again before seasons end we should be okay .

Very scrappy game, we were very slow to get going, and definitely switched off at the end. We seemed to try to attack a lot more down the right than normal. Maybe that was a bit of an experiment to give us more options in the future, but it didn't really work. I agree about Wardle, he was a lot better after very average performances on previous occasions I have seen him. I was just glad to see Cas win at that ground after so many previous visits. The last time I saw Cas win at Hull was at the Boulevard

Not a particularly inspiring performance and don’t really buy the ‘didn’t need to be’ argument. No good for building the momentum DP is seeking or for getting the attack firing.

Was really disappointed in Gale, who rather than trying to get his game going, seemed to treat the first half as an exhibition match and was largely anonymous in the second.

Much more intensity needed next week.

Seeing darylls interview after the game he seemed a bit disappointed.
He’s been saying for the past 2/3 weeks we need consistency.
Our attack needs to be better.

Apart from a few flashes last week it still seems very stuttery.
Last week gale had a great game and was involved in a lot of the tries.
This week he wasn’t involved or seemed invisible for most of the game, very quiet.
Daryl pointed this out in his interview, 2 Nd game syndrome. Whatever that means.

My worry is when we are trying to get moves work, it seems to fall apart with either a dropped pass or a forward pass. We are running out of games to get the attack sorted.
Defence looks pretty stable.

I just hope like everyone is saying, we didn’t need to get out of second gear, well let’s hope in a few weeks time we’ve found 3 and 4th gears.

It's tosh to say we were just going through the motions these games up to the semi are vital to get the attack working to the extent we can go to Wigan and turn them over agree on gale looked completely different from last week I think Powell will want to see a whole lot better on Thursday from the team

A largely uninspiring performance and our attack still looks uncoordinated and really needs to sharpen up. Can't understand why Webster is being omitted , just seems away to get Wardle into the starting line up.
If Huddersfield perform to the same standard they did against us last time it will give us more indication where we are at as we have been pretty lucky with the Super 8s fixtures how they have fallen for us and as for all of the season I remain unconvinced of our credentials.
