The game could have gone either way, I don't think we were at our best but i give lots of credit to Cas, I think Powell has got them playing well.

I dont blame Holdsworths kicking, I dont think there were any gimmees for him, but maybe for Ticks Yes. Before the game I hoped for a narrow win and expected a narrow loss. Anyway it was great game of Rugby. We have no devine right to just turn up and win.

Just watching the replay.

A few culprits in the tackling department but Watts attempt on Walker was particularly dog-turd.

I don't know about other people, but I'm fed up of reading some article from one of our players saying we need to do this or that if we're going to win and then running on to the pitch and doing the exact opposite. Either do what you say, or stop writing bloody stupid articles. The fans are not idiots and don't need telling what the team needs to do.

If you have a gander at the Hull FC facebook page, you'll see a few of them really, really, are. The club can't win but a few morale boosting articles is a lot better than simply saying nothing and just getting a 2 minute video of "us need to up us game a bit, us will get in the 8"

Just watched superleague show all the trys again , After reading Wilfs Dentist Diary and its McDonnell that misses his player ,

I'd agree except that morale boosting articles are OK if the action corresponds to the words. Unfortunately its not been the case on some occasions. I'd rather they did the business on the field than in print.

Not a criticism but I think Ben could perhaps have got a 5th try of the match if he'd have gone on his own and not passed to Tom Lineham on our very last play of the game.

Seemed to have shrugged the tackler off but was already committed to passing instead of going direct for the line.

Hindsight and watching replays is a wonderful thing.

I thought the same, but Crooks probably thought that Lineham would have a better chance of getting through with him being a brick house.

Thats because McDonnell is pretty average. For every thing he does well he does something poor. Id put him on a par with Eden tbh.

After a promising start his limitations are starting to show now. Our attack just seems to fizzle out every time he gets the ball out wide. It's not always his fault as the ball has been slow getting there but I still think he could do better.

my only criticism of crooks was as he scored his 3rd try, lineham was screaming and pointing to put the ball down closer to the goalpost as well as a few of us in the stand behind the goal, instead he just ran a straight line and grounded the ball, there was cas player tracking back but he could quite easily have side stepped and wrong footed him

If only he could catch and pass
