Good dominant win against a poor Hudds side. Few more errors than you'd want, some going for expansive wide play, some just clunky knock ons. Well played to Sneyd after the chatter this week, perfect response and some decent minutes for Masi. Kelly was majestic in parts, my favourite performance of the night.

Down for my first game and dragging mater and my brother along too possibly a young un as well. Be dissapointing not be over 12k IMO, if saints win you'd expect a few more of there fans to bother to make the effort. good win should always add a few to the walk ups.

Men v Boys tonight, literally, we had no answer once we gifted you the 1st 3 tries it was game over unfortunately for us, don't think your lot got out of 2nd gear, they didn't need to - our lads tried their best but were poles apart on the night, think our backline had something like 48 appearances between them in super league, 35 of them for Ormsby. Saying that you can only beat what's in front of you and that's exactly what you did.
job done, professional performance, put points on the board against a weakened team, something we have struggled with in the past, just the odd hiccup from shaul but not many would deal with those kicks from brough, hopefully a one off

If I were a Hull supporter I would be a little concerned. With the team that Huddersfield had out, Hull should have scored 70. I have seen Hull v Wakey and v Catalan and Hull were average, and if Huddersfield could have managed to play a full side it could possibly have been a very close game. Shaul definitely not England material, very dodgy under the high ball.

Get a grip. Most SL sides don't put 70 points on championship sides, you've just got some serious sour grapes. I'm not remotely concerned as all I ask for is a competitive team that gives their all. We're the challenge cup holders and for now we're 2nd in the league and I should be concerned? You're seriously delusional! However, I agree with you regarding Shaul. Good little player but not England material. Hardaker looks back to his best so hopefully Tomkins won't get near the fullback position.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.

Definitely an off night for Shaul, I can tell you he's not usually dodgy under the high ball. Certainly one of the best in the league at taking them. No concerns about that, just an off day.

our fullback didn't miss one- That young lad made his debut last night - at the last minute at fullback when Gaskell pulled out after warm up! ATM shaul is nowhere near the England squad. He needs to step up this season I feel to truly be a great fullback. As he's maturing RL fans will be less forgiving. None of those young players let us down last night, four players with 0,1,2, and 4 previous top flight games respectively. Our oldest in the back line was 24, ormsby who'd played 35 games. The rest only played about 15 between them!

Agreed, you had a very depleted team with loads of quality including internationals to come back in. Still, we can only play what's in front of us and did what we needed to which is pleasing. Testament to our defence with the number of errors we made near our own line that we only conceded 2.
