This game (the 3rd easter game is always without fail poor)
We are a team low on numbers low on confidence but finding a way to win again. The ref killed the chance of it being a decent game to watch.
Widnes got 2 of the 3 they lost back on. We lost Bowden n Sa for the last quarter.
This widnes team was the best equipped to put a performance in this game with so many fresh bodies. We deserve some credit for that to be fair. When you say other teams would put 50 on them who do you mean? Wire? Catalans? Saints maybe?

Team of Pussies? Technically we've been pants this year but won the stats in most games. Particulary in the forwards. So what are you suggesting. We go out n straight from the whistle start swinging n prove how Ard we are?

Ah Van only made the break because Hull stopped after the whistle went. He certainly wouldn't have gone 80 odd yards anyway.

Wish fans could see things as simple as that.

I thought the thoughts from Sky were a little harsh.

I usually like both Wells and Brian ('never mind who I think will will from here Clare (Balding), I had £50 on Hull before the match!' - 2005 CC Final) Carney. Both were correct in questioning our last tackle plays and the two examples they showed, highligthed how disorganised we often are. We were exactly the same in the Derby game.

However, they were harsh in making out that we won only due to two lucky interceptions and a rebound off the post. Well they can't have it both ways.

In the first half, the commentary team praised Heremaia for getting back and intercepting Lineham's pass to snuff out Hull's attack. Then despite praising Lineham for holding his position, before intercepting for his hat trick, they still said we were lucky to get two interceptions?

Lineham made those two tries, picking out the long pass. As he said himself, he backed himself as the defence had forced Widnes out wide. If he got it wrong, he would be at fault, but he didn't and still had to out pace everyone to score.

As for Shaul's try, Sky can't have it both ways. As I said, they were quite correct in critising our last tackle plays, but let's at least give credit to Hull for this try. Rankin's obviously called the move, delivered a good grubber kick towards the post. At this stage, you've bought a ticket for the raffle and you give yourself a chance. We had two men backing up against their one, Shaul watched the ball and scooped up the rebound to score. If Leeds, Wigan or Saints had scored that move, they'd be singing their praises, not saying that they were lucky.

We just need a little balance here. I've been critical of the team and Coach over the past few weeks, however they've just gone out and won the last two games. Widnes were a little unfortunate to suffer the double collision, but it happens in our sport. At the end of the day, we won and kept another Super League team down to below 8 points and that is no mean feat.

We are not the finished article by a long way. However, we have stopped the rot and this morning I'm sure the team and Coach will rightly feel a lot happier than they did a week ago. Well played lads and well done Lee Radford. We have a chance to build on these results over the coming weeks and post a few more wins. Let's hope we do.

Sky hates us....yawn, all the Refs that have ever refereed a Hull Fc match have been biased against us...yadder yadder .Radio Humberside are Hull KR fans.....zzzzz. Are these really the thoughts of mature adults? Absolutely pathetic self pity and paranoia. Grow up.

Well said Andy.

Had it been Matty Smith or Danny McGuire hitting the post with their kick no doubt they'd have reminded us how they 'practice all week' to do just that.
It's cringeworthy how Hemmings struggles with players' names if they don't play for Saints/Wire/Wigan or Leeds. Thought Carney and Wells were justified in pointing out our last tackle debacles but we deserved to win no question.

good post rugby raider spot on mate

Whilst we may not have been great and may not have beaten a better team we were never in danger of losing and its not often we can say that.

Exactly. You can only beat what is front of you and last night (and Monday) we did. We haven't always done that, but last night we did and I also enjoyed the fact that we never looked like losing.

Small steps, but hopefully we have turned a corner.

Mate, if Danny McGuire or Kevin Sinfield had done that........ Stevo's superlatives would have sent his Drinking Bingo Card into orbit!!

Both sides were stood offside most of the game. I think he gave one or two token penalties each for it. Added to this he was regularly only going back 8 or so metres and also completely failed to police the ruck meaning the game was slow which probably suited us to be fair. widnes probably looked to be taking more advantage as they played a more high intensity defensive game than us
