Quote: Mick Gledhill "Away from the tonked thread started by people who haven't been to a game in years and have no clue what the hell there on about, let alone posting.
I thought last night was a good show. Yes we lost, but that was never a 18-6 game.
The defence again was world class, with plenty of people putting their bodies on the line. Hull scored three tries with all of them having an element of luck about them. The first one in the 47th minute of first half stoppage time, you could see what was going to happen as the scrum was being formed, with Long pointing and directing.
Just a shame that the bounce of the ball didn't go our way as Tansey who was onside this time just pounced before the dead ball line.
The second try game from a very lucky back pass, people sat near me were shouting for a knock on, but after watching the replay on the big screen, it was the correct by the officials to award the score to Tansey again. How Hull kept that ball alive, I'll never know.
The third was again, a kick into the in goal and luck again as Hull got it down.
If there is a way of saying this, I think to only be leading by 2-0 after 40 minutes of hard work was a tad harsh.
We were camped in the Hull half for a good 15 minutes, only for Reardon to go into touch before getting the ball down and then for Whitehead to knock on with the line open. If those two had gone in, at 14-0 with the awful playing conditions you could say . . . . Game over.
Halley was again world class, the quick dart had Hull at sixes and sevens as in three tackles we had gone 80m towards the FC line more than once.
Hull didn't make a break like this all game, our defence was outstanding.
The only problem what McNamara needs to work on is the support play and attack.
Again Menzies and Kearney making good breaks only for no one to be there in support to take the offload, you can see them looking around, but the support is nonexistant.
Despite the low score, I thought that the players did well considering the awful weather.'"
You talk sense
They scored 2 points! If a haul of 2 points is "faultless" I'd hate to witness a less than perfect period of play.
