Hull's long wait for home win ends after second-half fightback

The Black and Whites produced a superb second-half comeback victory to defeat Wakefield Trinity 16-10 at the MKM Stadium and move back into the Super League playoff places.

Down 10-0 at halftime, John Cartwright's side rolled their sleeves up after the break and dug in to record a massive victory in the context of their season - and it was fully deserved.

The first half was poor. There's no bones about it. Hull made far too many errors once again and couldn't get a foothold. In turn, the away side built a lead and looked destined for another victory.

But the Black and Whites are built of much stronger stuff this year, and they rallied hard to get themselves home, despite losing Ed Chamberlain and Amir Bourouh to failed HIAs, with Jed Cartwright also coming off with ice on his hamstring. But in what was a game of two halves, to say the least, Hull turned the contest on its head. They completed well, got some fluency into their game, and eventually got their reward.
