how did McAvoy get on against Keighley? He might be used as the extra prop at some points in the season?

My thoughts on today:-

Patty & Sykes won't get a look in unless we are desperate. Poor from both.

Scruton & Hargreaves didn't step up enough, they need to up their game by 20% if they are going to be the starting props.

Kearney is great under highball and returning the ball, but I worry about his ability to defend as last man.

Crookes looked fast, very fast but not sure he will be a starting winger.

Walker looked rusty and slipped off too many tackles. Better in 2nd row?

Gale was quiet, but kicked well.

Jeffries was invisible. Sammut at 6 wasn't any better, but did ok at hooker apart from one awful pass to BJ / Walker.

Purtell will be ok once he settles in. He looks to have a nasty streak in him as he was "hand bagging" with Yeaman.

Kear did ok, but limited ball in hand.

Orbison tackled well, but, looks little in comparison to Hull forwards.

Joseph has been rewarded with a 1 year contract and stood out today with his effort.

Langley & Disco only played 15 mins each. Langley was out & about attend of game, Disco presumably kept back for Cats game,

O'Brien looked ok, but out of his depth. As did Bateman, but realise still only young.

All in all an ok 1st half, but we were railroaded in 2nd half, but with a young, weak side out so hard to asses true potential in my opinion.

McAvoy didn't make any metres hardly against Keighley. But an 18 year old running at Cherryholme and Korkidas isn't going to make much ground. Tackled well though and put a massive shot on one of the Cougars players. Might do well against Widnes or Wakey but he won't get a look in otherwise.

Good to see Joseph being handed a 1 Year Deal. Looks like Potter was saving Diskin for next week.

McAvoy looks a tad on the small side for a prop. Dunno his actual stats though.

Who?

I doubt even the Bulls would sign Roy Orbison

And I thought Olbison was injured

He will look little when he wasn't on the field today.

Well done, you all spotted my mistake, meant Donno!

Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways, but was only trying to inform those who couldn't attend today

Who's Orbison? Can't be olbison as he's out for 10 weeks.

Obrien injury puts a new light on result. 2nd half with no proper hooker where hull scored most of their tries makes more sense now.

Imagine the trouble I had today (not that I'm looking the wrong way 2.9443359375:10
