Congratulations to the players and coaching staff on a great win today and indeed a great Easter. 1-17 were superb and battled away. That quick fire brace before half time could have seen us down and out but we came out with a great attitude led by our captain who frankly is one of the best players I've seen in a Hull shirt in 43 years of watching.

Ventured over today, thought we bossed the 1st you bossed the 2nd.
First time I've seen Wire look tired this season, even though you went in front i genuinely thought we could score easily first half, Sandow was his usual unplayable cocky maverick self, the team was doing well. Johnson the rookie was tested and I thought he lacked confidence if I'm honest and Lineham...well milk turns quicker than that lad.
2nd half was an 'arm wrestle' as they say but as the game went on i thought it was clear who the fitter side was, coupled with some daft errors and decisions.
As a contest i enjoyed it, close and hard fought contest, love the fan banter too. Obviously a negative for me is the result.
Could have gone either way, and as a supporter and defender of this sport that's the sort of stuff I want to see week in week out in most fixtures, 10 mins to go both teams the chance to nick it. I think Gids would have been possibly someone to get us over the line, not saying that as a certainty as I'm sure you would have had players out who you felt would have made a huge difference too.
All in all disappointed with the result, effort could have been better i guess (easter maybe?) but fair, and being honest i think you just about deserved the win.

It was squeaky bum time in that last five minutes for the second time this weekend. Agree thought it was a great game of rugby league which could of gone either way at the end.
Great support, following and noise from your fans! Hope you had a good trip!

Very fair assessment. I think we benefitted from dropping several U23s in (Turgut, Lancaster, Abdull, Hadley); in that last quarter energy proved vital - more so than senior, but jaded, quality.

Absolutely spot on Yed, I don't know whether FC favour a side to attack but they certainly targeted our right today. The game could have gone either way and was pretty decent apart from the result.
All those bashing the ref must have been at a different game to me I thought it was fair enough....not every pass can be forward and we were both as guilty as each other for off-side IMO. Your crowd today were at times almost headingley-esque
