Really really impressive performance last night...

Fonua for mine, was the best attacking centre display in a Hull shirt for many years...
Yeaman's defence was awesome..

The pack was phenomenal, Ellis was brutal, Houghton has looked a different player
in attack, just shows a difference how a quicker PTB ,gives him more time..

For mine, I prefer Michaels over Talanoa, Tuli is superb at bringing the ball out of our end,
but Michaels for mine is more reliable.

At 6, I prefer Abdull over Tuimavave, JA has better skill and creativity.....-IMO

Also IF Fonua, was played left centre alongside Pritchard - my god!!

The only constructive criticism, is we need to more direct and assertive,(ball in hand)
in attacking the opposition's try line - 10 yards out..

All in all, a great performance..

Fonua - you have to accept that ball security is going to be weak at times, but that is the nature of the beast. He can bounce players away, show incredible strength yet a deftness with his hands with those one handed offloads. He has a style similiar (and i dont mean this in a bad way) to Jamie Thackray - one arm carry, using his upper body to bounce off players. Sometimes they will get under the ball - but he is exciting to watch

Mentioned above about playing him on the left - you could play him there, he did for Melbourne. Him outside of Frank could be lethal

If Fonua protecs the ball a little more when going into the tackle instead of taking the impact on his one arm ball carrying style think he would be more secure with ball in hand, but as has been said thats the nature of the beast that he is. He is a definite handful no doubt and two great offloads to release Michaels.

if there is a better defensive centre in the league than yeaman still, I haven't seen him. that side of the defence has been rock solid all season

despite claims (rightly) for Houghton and taylor to be considered for MOS I feel that its sneyd who is going to command the most attention from our club come voting time

assuming the form carried on I can see the above 3 in the dream team without question along with ellis (no brainer) and even possibles for watts, shaul and minicello, but as the superleague won't want too many players in from any one club we will probably get 3 at most. no doubt wigan and leeds will get more in than us

if we can keep most fit imo we could be on our way to some silverware, I honestly believe this team can beat anybody,

I was a little uneasy about the game prior to kick-off, mainly due to thinking that they must be due a win. They certainly started strongly and who knows how the evening may have panned out if Sio hadn't bombed his chance early doors.

Once we came away from their initial burst with our line intact which was then quickly followed by Watts & Houghton's tries, I was amazed by how quickly rovers energy levels became deflated. From about the seventh minute onwards there was only ever going to be one result.

I can't remember the last time we won a derby in such a comfortable manner. Any unease I may have felt at kick-off evaporated and I watched the game in one the most relaxed moods I've been in for some time.

So in control were we that I'm actually a little disappointed we didn't press home our advantage even further. We were worthy of at least a couple of further tries to fully reflect the game pattern. Reckon a final score of 48-12 wouldn't have been too amiss.

However, this is nit-picking for what was a hughly enjoyable evening's entertainment. Big raps to Sneyd, Micheals and Minichello, but all 17 played their part.

So it's 3 wins from 3 against our dear neighbours. It's now onto the business end of the season where (potentially) far greater prizes may await us. I still feel there is more to come from this team and , fingers crossed, maybe, just maybe, 2016 may see some very big dreams finally realised.

Onwards and upwards everyone. Let's be positive and enjoy the ride. We've waited long enough for these opportunities to come round once again (there have been times during the last decade when I began to wonder if they would ever come around once more!). There are possibly a dozen games still to be played out for Hull Fc in 2016. Let all of us approach these games with energy and enthusiasm. Life is about seizing the moment and grabbing the opportunity when it comes your way (expected or otherwise).

In 2016, our moment might have arrived. It might not of course , but there is only one way to find out. Come on People, let's go for it!

Amazing what a fit ENGLISH half back can do isn't it

This sums it it up really. We could do this we really could

We could.

I think the Hull sides of recent past would've lost the game last night by bringing forward the iffy form and crumbling under the pressure of the derby, but this lot are made of stronger stuff.

We have to trust them. If they have a poor patch of form, which is inevitable throughout a season, we can't as fans let the negativity set in, but trust and support them to rectify it.

I dread to think what it'd be like on here if we'd have lost last night. The knee jerking over reactions is something we (as a collective group of fans) need to get over, and I think we gradually are doing. Years and years of false dawns will do that to people.

Currently, we're in the mix for all three trophies, what more can we ask for?

Lost last night and Radford out petition would have been rolled out
