And the same for the second, dominated the territory. Smash and grab from kr. Sneyd has to grubber on your last set though, then worse case scenario they've burnt one tackle on their line. You can't legislate for that last minute though, 90 times / 100 you hold on there. Kr are a much better side then you lot are probably giving them.
That is your impression of the match. The actual stats say that your impression is wrong.

Keef, I wanted kr to win. Radford said pretty much what I said (I watched the game after the Cas game and typed that when you won so before hearing Radford). It wasn't a dig at you, I just thought hull were the better side and had more of the territory.
Fact and stats or not I'll take faraimo anytime at 7/4.
"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."
An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

Great improvisation for Dawson Jones try and for Faraimo’s the ball went the full width of the field on the last tackle. We gave the ball away in three critical situations which lead to their tries, Faraimo losing the ball, Paea giving away a penalty in the tackle and Sneyd’s final kick. Shaul was excellent.
i agree jamie Shaul had a good game and worked hard but he has to learn to attack the ball and take it on the full even if it means taking a hit. Cost us their first try.

We should never ever have lost this. Victory was quite easy to achieve with just 6 secs on the clock.
Anyone who follows NFL will know the Miracle of Minnesota from Jan 2018. You Tube it. We fell into the exact foolish naive trap.
With correct coaching both FC players would have known to let the KR player catch the high ball and deal with him once he came back to the ground. Smash - tackle complete = GAME OVER and a W and 2 points and a monkey off the back and a great week in training.
As soon as those players went in for the ball it's a 50:50 instead of 99% win probability for us - we saw what happened.
Stay out and bingo we win. Foolish and poor coaching as they should have had the discipline to stay out. Couldn't Shaul have just shouted out " let him take it " etc
Some posters say you 'can't legislate' BUT you definitely can and we could and SHOULD have won.

what are you talking about the kr player patted the ball back because it was the last tackle how can your coach stop that youve scored plenty of tries like that infact it was fcs trademark in the cup victorys ,try conceding 2 in a minute then get relegated on the strength of it then moan, hull played ok tonight but were not good enough to beat a team that didnt particularly play that well, radfords not as bad as you make out get real

It happens, sometimes you don't win what you should or deserve.
We once rolled our conditioning coach out in a game and still won.

I was not having a dig at you. I was just pointing out that the stats did not back up your statement.
I appreciate that people see the same thing in different ways but despite some territorial advantage FC were devoid of ideas in the last 20 and often took the wrong option. This was touched on in the autopsy at the end of the match. FC game management in the last 10 minutes was woeful. We should never have been allowed near the try line.
I heard radford when I got home. He was doing his best to make the best of a devastating defeat. His demeanour and facial expression said very different things to his words.

LOL red and white muppet
Watch again and you'll see Griffin gets drawn in. He's the centre. By getting involved he is out of the defensive line. He could have simply let Crooks do what he wanted and kept the defensive line intact. You note the try was scored because McGuire only had to draw in our winger
