Not true, as danny houghton comes from a position behind washbrook as the ball becomes available.

in the end we were unlucky to lose a point i thought. a fully fit saints side would have demolished hull.
are we ever going to get a fully fit team though!!!!!!!!!!
another injury, possibly broken nose. thats 10 injured now isnt it!!
and we are still up there.
proud of the team.

I'd happily give that penalty up and take the obvious forward passes leading to 2 of Hulls tries. We should have won but we didnt and a point isnt bad considering the injury situation, end of really.

Hull had a good number of injuries as well.

Saints had a very strong team our still despite injuries, just shows the strength of the squad.

They had none compared to our lot. We only had 17 fit first team players. Nathan Ashe was drafted in from the u20s!

10???????????

great entertainment and a lot of character showed by the Saints to come back - a point apiece is a fair result IMO.

some great tries with Briscoe already down for try of he month surely - well done Ashe under pressure at times and great coaching from Simmons to get the lads motivated for the second half.

refereeing decisions ? well,it was Ganson so anything is possible as we know but a case of swings and roundabouts IMO

Just checking now, can somebody enlighten me on the rule. When Meli(I think) kicks it down the line only for the full back's feet to be in touch when gathered, because both feet were on the line he is completely off the field of play so should it have been Hull's head and feed?

The ball has bounced and is still in the field of play when the Hull player catches it,correct call was made Saints scrum.

Cheers for that

Well played to both teams today.

Lots of errors, contentious refereeing (for both sides) and a great last 10 minutes. A drop goal to win would have been a travesty.

We scored some outstanding tries but Saints response led by James Robey was inspired.

I thought the effort of the players was outstanding, if we cvan maintain that attitude when all of our missing players are back we'll be some team.

I don't even think we were particularly bad in the first half, if anything we forced play a bit much in good positions and although they scored some good tries they were from gifted field position. I expected us to get back into the game although not as soon as we did and perhaps that was a bad thing as they had plenty of time on the clock to get back into the game without panicking and making errors. Eastmond tried hard but was way off with his timing of the pass and a lot of our attacks died when he got the ball - he's either got to get the ball out earlier or attack the line and delay the pass to the link man as he's making it easy for the defence to read the rest of the play.

Credit to the young lads, Magennis got through a lot of work and I like the look of Ashe who seemed very confident in his ability which bodes well.

No. Our first choice half back with his kicking game which was our biggest weakness today imo.
