It a shame we can't get a little better ball to Percival, he really looks a threat with the ball.

I thought Walshy struggled in the first half to get the team going but his kicking game gave us some field position to defend.
For me Amor, Walmsley, LMS and Roby have been outstanding in the 2 games so far.

Tonight was a very hard fought win and exactly the kind of game we'd have lost over the last few seasons.

Hull are a very decent team. They've got several quality players and they were very close to overrunning us in the first half tonight and putting a big score on us. We had to hang in there and hope for more ball in the second half, which we got. When we did get the ball we did well, the forwards, particularly the props and Roby put in another great stint, that was Walmsley's best game in the vee I'd say. The referee had a big impact on the game tonight. Hull held down ridiculously tonight, there was a conscious pause of two or three seconds at every play the ball. I'd love Opta to do stats on the speed of the play the ball, as I think there would be a 2 or 3 second difference tonight.

Highlights of the game for me were Walmsley's performance (Error free tonight?) and Sia's hit on the Hull fullback. Yowsers, it was impressive that he got up to make that play the ball.

Completely missed the game tonight but hey we keep on marching .

So did I but had the pleasure (Ray French ?) of listening to the win on BBC Merseyside.

Still obviously not the same as being at the match; I especially wanted to be there for the Steve P tribute.
I was at last years game when we were very lucky to draw with Hull.

Well done Saints, roll on the Salford game.
It's already a better season!

I'd take an ugly win over a beautiful loss every time

Just the sort of game we'd have given away in the last few years

COYS!!!

Typical saints- always taking the when you've won well and slagging your team off if things aren't just as perfect as you'd like.them to be.

I'm not sure anyone here is "slagging off our team" - there are areas for improvement in every game, and we should be looking to build week on week. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of players, walmsley, Wilkin, Roby, Amor, Walsh and lms are getting a lot of praise, particularly for thei second half showing.

I'd rather our coach was upset with a win, and has areas to work on, then be happy with a loss

It's from reading general comments. You have a great side this year. Luke Walsh was stunning v wire and your forward pack is not great to watch as a wire fan. Aside from the regulars you have Masoe Masoe to come of the bench and he was destructive v nz. You chaps should have some faith in your side. Out of all the sides your odds on.

How did you guys think Hull went? It's hard to get a picture with Humberside's terrible commentary, but the impression I got was that we asked questions when we had the ball, but indiscipline gave you plenty of field position which you can't afford to do against a quality side like yourselves. Would you go along with that?

We were very poor bar a 20min period in the second half.

I'm worried for when we play Wigan, Leeds and Hudds

I don,t think we are "slagging our team off", its early days yet we have had 2 games so far which we would have lost last season.
We've got new players that need a bit of time to settle in, last year we slagged our team off for lack of effort, this season we are looking at further improvements from a successful start so far.
Hull were a very good team last night and exposed some of our weaknesses, its these areas we debate.

I think Hull will cause a lot of trouble for teams this year, they look a nicely balanced team, once they sort out the defence they should go OK this season.
To be honest I thought they got the benefit of Silverwood not policing the play the ball area to try and stop the momentum of our forwards. Luckily we have Walmsley and Amor who got us back on the front foot.
This game could have been a lot closer and could have gone the same way as last season, we are fortunate that Walshy brings us a kicking game so that we can defend in the opposition half.
I will be chuffed if you beat Warrington next game and put them in an early season relegation battle.

First half you was the better team. Your kicking game was top class in the first half and opened us far to easy for my likeing.
