No. The pitch is in good condition.

It looked sandy because they are preparing it so it'll look good in two weeks time.

All in all a good pre season to watch albeit against an under strength Hull team.
I started to type that I thought Myler and our 2 wingers had good games.
But then I could have added our centres and halves and forwards.
All those who played for us today had decent games.
Like others have said we are certainly going to be competitive this season and it might depend how many players we can keep on the field as to us winning something this year.
Anybody know what the attendance was?

TBH Hull were so disjointed it's hard to read too much into it. We'll be lucky to face a side leaving so many gaps and missing that many one on ones during the entire season proper.

5132

Agreed that we cant read too much into that with a weakend Hull side but the signs are encouraging. Looks like we might have a potent attack on the left and right for the first time in a long time. Are we serious silverware contenders, personally I think we will need a bit of luck in a cup run to be challenging as I think League Leaders and GF are probably out of our reach for this year

as a Hull fan, really hard to get a gauge on where we are at currently. Gale looked good, but we have now lost Connor for 5-6 weeks so Gale will have more responsbility for the attack.

My concern for the first month is that we have no pack! Satae, Sao, Taylor, Kane Evans, Ma'u, Bowden, Savelio, Cator all missing yesterday and not sure when/if they will be back

That was like us last year... feel your pain. be a very tough start.

Glad Litten's ok, that was a huge hit.
I'll give Hicks a bit of credit for not showing a card to Fus as I suspect a few refs would have, regardless of the challenge being legal.

Unless of course he missed it

I think he was already looking at the Austin/Gale tackle and didnt see the hit on Litten. It was a fair hit in IMO, Litten suffers a whiplash style injury - but he is very lightweight, so hopefully that will encourage him to bulk up a bit as we have high hopes for him

Griffin and Reynolds were sat near me yesterday, along with most of your pack hope they are back for you soon. No team can cope without all those front line forwards missing.

Yeah, I thought it legal too. FWIW I thought Litten was possibly in two minds over whether to move the ball on. If so, that moment of hesitancy was costly as he set himself up almost. Hope he's back in his stride quickly, never enjoyable seeing a young player take one like that.

When do we know if Austin has been cited for the late push on Gale? Fingers crossed we escape without sanction.
