That was my understanding , all just rumours at the moment

First game I've been free to attend since Lowes took over and I was impressed by the improvement in our play.

Whether that is the gameplan/coaching by Lowes or the weight of relegation being lifted I'm not sure, it's perhaps a mixture of the two.

Seems like a lifetime since we won three games in a row (apparently 2 years ago) but the players are now full of confidence. Shame it's not May or June but it bodes well for next season in the championship. We seem to be generating a bit of momentum now both on and off the pitch.

The biggest problem in English RL is that clubs are so desperate to fill their teams with rubbish overseas players and they couldn't be bothered with persevering with some English players.

Arundel and Pitts have always been good players but when you have a club with a coach and CEO who would rather Talanoa, Sa to Arundel and Ben Crooks, the only way is down for hull.

I noticed Arundel having some "verbals" with his Hull team mates on the way in for his first try - maybe he feels Jimmy is a coach he would prefer to be playing for?

You should have rung the police on your merbile phern. It's just not rart. It puts you off you parnt.

Im not being funny, but Arundel is pants, he had plenty of chances and was awful. Talanoa has been one of the highlights of an otherwise dire season. Sa will also be a great signing once he's got a pre-season under his belt. Completely agree about Crooks though, Radford has managed in six months to remove any sort of confidence from him. Dream team to Doncaster says it all.

To be honest, we owe Hull thanks for allowing us to use their players. Other clubs have not been so gracious, it has to be said.

As for the match, I'm mostly puzzled by Radders' tactics in the first half; surely he'd noticed there was a ruddy gale blowing down the field? His team certainly didn't make any real effort to utilise it, unlike the Bulls who made it count, by pushing FC back with long kicks. It was a strange game, some bone shuddering tackles went in along with some pretty naive defensive stuff from both sides. It's easy to suggest it was a 'nothing' game, but some of the tackles suggested the players cared all right, so this 'switching off' in defence, by both sides, is hard to understand.

They didn't need that wind in the first half, there was another Gale intent on helping Hull FC for half the match.

Is Arundel pants or is it his coaches. Up to Jimmy arriving I would agree with you but since then he has improved quite a lot. Also why did Hull buy him, was it because he was a promising young player at Castleford or Pants. Seems a lot of so called good players become Pants at Hull considering how much they invest in players.

Not sure if it was a "nothing game" for Hull as if they had taken the points they could still in theory have scrapped into the play offs. When they went 12-0 with their bigger pack I thought we might be in trouble, but we made much better use of the conditions and Jimmy certainly seems to have put some more fire in the teams belly. I actually thought at half time after we restricted them to a two point advantage that we were going to win - and it's a while since we have been able to think that at half time!

Interesting to think that there is a good chance now that come the end of the season we may well have won more games than FC?

I thought we kept our composure well in the first half and came back really well. In the past we’d have let heads go down and been taken roughly from behind. This time we looked fairly composed. We made some howler mistakes in our own half but for the most part managed to avoid paying for it.

Our left side attack looked good, particularly Gaskell. We used the wind well with Gale unlucky to see a couple of kicks roll dead.

I did think we go bullied up front at times and it was down to Hull not making the most of this platform, and our scrambling defence that we didn’t concede more. I thought we looked better with Ferguson on adding size to the back row. Olbison, Donaldson and Pitts are too light as a combination but I guess you go with who’s available.
