Jake Clifford pulled the strings again as Hull eased to a third straight win and left stricken Wakefield deeper in the mire.
The Aussie scrum-half was influential as Tony Smith’s side brought down leaders Wigan last week. And he dictated once more as tries from Adam Swift, Carlos Tuimavave and Liam Sutcliffe saw Hull build up an unassailable 20-0 advantage before impressive veteran prop Scott Taylor rounded things off. How winless Wakefield - stuck bottom after suffering 12 straight defeats - could do with someone of his craft.
They had numerous chances to create something in the first half but didn’t turn any of their pressure into points. At least beleagured coach Mark Applegarth didn’t have to witness his side get nilled for a sixth time in this horrid campaign. But he did have to wait until the 67th minute for skipper Matty Ashurst to plough over, Will Dagger improving, by which time another game was dead and buried.
