Enjoyable game. Good atmosphere. Thought we’d xxxxed it up when Oli missed the routine penalty but they kept going. Hull have a couple of good players, Houghton is still a handful but despite having two really big units Sao and ? Physically they were lacking and we dominated. We do leave quite a few points on the field but did more than enough to deserve the win. Hull will need to get busy on the recruitment front.
What a great win in the beautiful sunshine - wouldn’t it be great if every Sunday was like this! ( to paraphrase Van Morrison)
Excellent performance, especially the second half where we took good advantage of being 13 v 12. COYB!

Bravo. mission implausable is on! yes, were going down, but what joy would it be if we didnt finish bottom? Now a week off for both sides, but Hull FC travel next to Castleford who know a win makes them safe whilst we have East Hull visiting (hopefully battered and bruised) after their cup semi v Wigan. COYB
Well that was enjoyable. Result helps of course. When I saw our Interchanges I thought we had a chance. Some true physique and impact off the bench. And great to see Lewis back, I'm a big fan and he had some big moments; impressive in his first game back. Played some good minutes for a Prop; just short of 40 I believe.
Had we not conceded today we would have jumped above Hull; okay that was asking a bit much.
I thought London played very well today and whilst the kicking wasn't devastating, it was pretty effective; the kicks to Kershaw especially as Hull were pinned near the line many times. Thought Kershaw was clever on the last tackle in the corner late on. I was expecting the ball back to Leyland for a Kick for Kershaw to challenge. Instead Kershaw ran the last tackle. Didn't quite make the line but ensured Hull started their set 2 metres from their own line, rather than potentially making a big gain recovering our kick.
I'd like to think the majority of these players will return next year in the Championship. Add a few Southern Hemisphere players and we should be very competitive. Not sure any of our team is a certain Superleague starter elsewhere. If they enjoy playing in London, I'd suggest every player is at least open to discussions on another season.
Just maybe this Superleague season has layed the platform for starting the next season in a strong position; it would be fourth time lucky at Plough Lane.

Hull fan, thought you were excellent yesterday, loved the way you played the game and got your tactics spot on. Thought Meadows was excellent.
I have to be honest and didn't know much about Eccles, so did a bit of research this morning, the job he has done is nothing short of amazing from bottom of the championship to were you are now.
I wish we have that level of coaching and fight/heart your players have, hope you can hang onto him and most of your players and build for the future.
