Not much fanfare for this one.
No team news.
No coaches comments.
No courier coverage
Minimal social media interaction.

Poor

Team news wise you would presume anyone not carrying a knock will play. As for Hull Id expect it to be their second team but you never know. Ive seen quite a bit on social media to be fair. Its hard to get people interested in friendlies though even more so after last season.

in courier. grix and 2 other new signings miss hull game. with young giants lad on bench along with scrum half stroud.

FFS!

Well i’m just glad to be going to a game.
Main things i’ll be looking at are fitness, aggression and being competitive in contrast to the last couple of years which were badly lacking the above.

Hull Squad, bit of a mix:


Lewis Bienek
Jack Brown
Kieran Buchanan
Joe Cator
Matty Dawson-Jones
Brad Fash
Tom Goulding
Charlie Graham
Josh Griffin
Liam Harris
Jacob Hookem
Jordan Johnstone

Albert Kelly
Jordan Lane
Masi Matongo
Ben McNamara
Eldon Myers
Ratu Naulago
Charlie Patterson-Lund
Jack Sanderson
Andre Savelio
Cameron Scott
Connor Wynne

Don't know what cave you've been living in for the last few weeks. My Twitter and Facebook have been bombarded with daily posts about it. You are actually 'following' them aren't you? They don't just appear on your feeds without interaction.

Blame the Courier for no coverage there, it's a waste of wood anyway.

Preaching to the converted. Non-subscribers need bombarding too.

Games need advertising on various Halifax area related pages

Exactly I don't do social media nothing on the club website just countdown to the game & only showing the junior admittance price on the Ticket page +nothing in the Worrier got more info from the Hull FC website/Hull Daily Mail

Strong showing in my KPI areas of fitness, aggression and competitiveness, streets ahead of this time last year.
Top effort today lads.
Bad injury to Kav, dislocated knee and maybe hip damage, with knocks to Elliot Morris, leg, Ed Barber, knee and Dan Fleming, ribs were the biggest downside.

Tryscorers anyone.

For Fax. Woody, Brearley and Corion.
Hull. Patterson-Lund, Hookem.

I think we can be a bit happier after today. I think we saw enough to suggest that this season won't be as bad as last season and you never know we might surprise one or two.

Defence looked well organised and we limited them to 2 trys from kicks and fitness wise I would have expected us to be behind a full time team but if we are it didn't show. We saw enough on attack to suggest we could be decent with Carlisle, Murrell, and Gilmore already looking sharper than what was served up last year. Obviously its hard to read too much in to it and I didn't really pay any attention to the Hull team named but doubt any that played would be part of the main squad besides Kelly. I know we also had a lot of players missing but add them back in and 2 or 3 good ones from Huddersfield and we should be there or there abouts the top 5.

Lets hope the Kavanagh injury is not as bad as it looked. I know people were saying knee, which hopefully it is, but to me looked more pelvic in which case we probably won't see him the rest of the season depending on the severity of it.

Muzza looked to have lost a lot of weight.

He should benefit from having another organiser in the team and somebody else who can kick.
