Game of big moments, Brown scores that and we win by 20 plus IMO.

A win is a win as they say but by god we got out of jail today and yet again was all down to our own doing.
Thought Russell and Bullock actually showed up some of our players and pity nobody else ran it in like Matty.
We look a poor side and not helped by our pedestrian line speed in both attack and defence.
Nu Brown is just not a halfback and would be better deployed at 9 for me. Just don’t understand the recruitment signing Houghton and Nu Brown when both are very similar and hookers especially when we needed and still need a specialist halfback. At least Balmforth has shown he has some speed and guile about his game and it’s that we are lacking yet doesn’t get a look in. So either give Balmforth game time or promote Charles until Trueman is back, N Brown is wasted in the half.
Though Staveley, Jack Brown & Ashworth were good along with Ligi though he could have cost us the game with that stupid offload. Okunbor was better but still some way off the performance level considered good enough in SL. Thought Walker also had a good game Smith and McIntosh put a decent shift in too.
We are lacking a leader on the field no question and the amount of dumb rugby/decisions is ridiculous.
Really not sure if Smith has it to turn us around.
All in all we knew we weren’t going to be great this season but my god we are shocking and just look a disorganised rabble.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

He's got 7 on his back but Nu Brown isn't the answer to our half back woes.
Yeah, doesn't quite work does it, he does some good things, but just not in a halfback way, think he has to be at 13 or 9, Hoy back in or start Charles.
Well that was fun. We score from Walker break game over. But no this is Hull. Second half was poor. Maybe you can't see it on TV but our wingers need to keep out a bit more. Russell played well but if I was the opposition I would kick high to him all day. Houghton justified his spot but there lies the problem as brown isnt a half. Missed Hoy IMO. But a wins a win..Oh to be a supporter of FC
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
