haven't seen the game, but it sounds like we played poorly/averagely...but a big difference is that we've done that and come home with 2 points, which at the end of the day is all that matters, we can 'peak' later in the season and play awesome rugby then!

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

That was true for large parts of the game, unfortunately. Especially disappointing was our almost total inability to prevent the offload and letting in two soft tries on our left flank.
I thought that Tickle, Dowes, R Horne and Berro were our best players. A few others need to up their games, including Thacks and Manu.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Should have gone inside the stand at the back, just near the toilets. Indoor toilets!
Not too impressed with those Hull fans who chose to pick fights in the away stand.

Mate I was with had gone to the loos and came back saying she saw a fight as she went. She just missed the one that was happening in front of me when she got back. One guy provoked the other, stewards came and took the guy away 5 mins later. Stewards also took two lads away later on, not sure why though, don't think it was fighting, but some people in the upper tier of the stand pointed them our for something.

From wot i could make out from blunderside commentary crusaders had a great start for 15-20 mins then hull put pressure on for short bursts but didnt capitalise on some decisions/metres made for 2nd and 3rd quarters and slowed in last quarter...heard alot about dowes.

That was the 'incident' I saw.

I thought the Crusaders started very well, helped in no small quarter by FC's inability to prevent the offload and their reluctance to step up off the mark and put pressure on the Crusaders at the play the ball. FC looked good in spells, but that's all it was, spells. We had plenty of possession but didn't seem able to do much with it at times. The stand out performance has got to be Danny Tickle, he was on fire tonight. Berro, RH and Dowes were the other players worth a mention. The kicking game though was awful with almost every kick going straight down the throat of the Crusaders.
It's difficult to say how satisfactory the performance actually was due it being such an emotional night for the Crusaders and the extra fire they had in their bellies, especially the first 15-20 mins. Once FC got on the score board the tide turned and the Crusaders never really looked like winning the game, but at the same time, FC never looked like being able to truly kill the game off. All in all though, a win is a win and if the boys continue to improve then there is no reason why we can't finish in the top 6. Oh, and it was a nice birthday pressie for me
Got to mention the Burger bar in the town where we grabbed a bite to eat before going to the ground. I ordered food for the four of us but they forgot to do my lads burger so we had to wait for them to cook it, then the guy serving us apologised and gave us a free 10" pizza. Top bloke
