What peoples thoughts on tonights game?
imo Hull should of done alot better in the last 20 minutes against a side with 1 sub. Seemed they lacked invention and poor kicking put them in bad positions for the defensive line.

TBH that biggest question I ws left wondering about was the penalty for stripping just before one of O'Meley's tries. I have no problems with it being called a ball strip if that is what it was. My problem arises when you see how players were penlised last year when Sam Tomkins was using the same tactic that big and curly was using tonight (trapping the arm) because when a defensive player with his arm in that position doesn't pull his arm away knowing full well that a penalty for ball stripping will happen he get penalised anyway.

Disagree, i think they should of gone all out once again, 14-0 up at the KC most teams wouldnt of got back into it. Now if they went all out and didnt put points on the board quick - 50 niller.
The fact isnt they didnt come out blazing - and leeds scored within 2minutes, so IMO wrong idea.

They wouldn't have gone 14 up against that starting Leeds team. Webb, Ablett and Delaney might not have gotten injured and Hull would have been loved and like you say - 50 niller. That start against us was a freak due to the Derby emotions IMO and we won't see anything like that from them again this season, maybe April.

But they came out too lazy which gave Leeds a lead within 90 seconds, I no id rather see KR come out strongly then not at all.

Better rotation of their bench would have left Hull the chance to run over Leeds a little late into the 2nd half. Having Lauaki and Obst not coming on until the 2nd half I struggled to fathom. Taking O'Meley off for Washbrook was disturbing whilst Lauaki sat on the bench having not played a single minute was stupid.
Leeds where out on their feet at the end and Hull never took advantage one iota.

They looked battered and bruised just walking out of the tunnel, Was Fitzy's shiner courtesy of our own Mr Murrell?
In those first few minutes, as the ticker came across the bottom showing the Salford v Saints score, I thought Leeds were going to match Saints point for point, Leeds weren't the best last week and so nobody really knew how they would play tonight, They had pressure on them to come and perform too, They realised within 90 seconds that if you go down the middle, Fitzy tackles you, if you go out wide you get a try.
