Yes...and it has been the answer for at least 2 years!

Faultless?

They scored 2 points! If a haul of 2 points is "faultless" I'd hate to witness a less than perfect period of play.

lucky scores by Hull


not a 18 -6 game


Hull & Bradfords goal line defence was fantastic.
to be truthful Hull had a poor first half where we seemed to lack attacking ideas due to Bradfords defence, heavy rain throughout and the time allowed for holding down (both teams and it's spoiling the game)
second half Hull looked more lively and Bradford never really looked to threaten the Hull line.

i think the general slowing down of the play the ball by holding down is spoiling it for both teams as both teams seemed unable to get any momentum into their game, what Bradford fans must realise is that this season Hull have a very good pack and any team (wigan apart) will struggle against us in conditions like last night.

The holding down was a frustating issue last night but both team did it and thaler didn`t penalise the teams, another issue at the monment is the time that certain kickers take for the conversions its about time there was a set time to take them or lose them.

Well done to Hull though !

The one negative last night for me was the constant holding down by both teams allowed by the ref. At least he was consistant in this rule but it does spoil the game for me.

A tough physical battle between two good teams.

I think the same about drop-outs. There should be a time limit rather than ambling about for 5 minutes before taking them.

Did you actually go the game last night? If you had you would have seen that the third try came from Radford forcing his way over from Dummy half

I was just thinking that!

i thought Radford had taken the ball on his own line and beat all 13 Bradford player on a weaving run from one try line to the other

or it could have been a 2 yard spin and crash type of try

Perhaps that is why Tansey got to the ball, after 47 minutes of stoppage time for the first half your lot were just to pooped to do anything????
Or maybe it was because Tansey was more alert and didn't give up where as your lot just stood and thought the ball was going out of play? If you could see what was going to happen, why couldn't the players?
Perhaps you should invest in a better radio, you might see things more clearly!!

To be fair to Mick, from the far end it was just a jumble of bodies and then fans cheering.

There's always an element of luck with how a rugby ball bounces but I thought Long was outstanding with his kicks, both the 40/20 and the kicks to the line put us under pressure, most of which we dealt with pretty well. In such bad conditions our handling was actually far better than it had been the previous week.

We've had a tough run with the top four in the first seven games so three wins is a decent haul. Defensively we were enormous last night, to keep a good side like Hull to three tries showed a lot of skill, determination and heart, imo. Let's hope the sickness bug clears up and doesn't affect anyone else, so then hopefully we can kick on next week.

Btw, there didn't seem to be all that much in the way of injuries, so can anyone shed light on why both halves lasted around 45 minutes?
