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.

Ferguson got stronger throughout the game and he really adds some mongrel to our pack, I thought O'Brien was excellent again and as his confidence grows as has his running game from dummy half. Great to see Gaskell playing as he is, looked dangerous every time he got the ball.

Well, yeah - in theory. In theory, and mathematically, we could have still escaped relegation if we'd beaten Huddersfield but we all knew we weren't going to, and I think that most Hull fans had accepted they weren't going to make the eight - win or lose at Odsal yesterday.

He was poor under Gentle and has declined ever since for us. Pitts I would take back in a heart beat, thought he was great for us. One thing that Gentle wasn't afraid to do was blood youngsters. Crooks, Lineham, Shaul, Arundel, Thompson. All of them were superb under him apart from Arundel. Not sorry to see him leave.

Not seen enough of Arundal really but for Cas he always seemed to be on the list of scorers. He’s not got great pace or evasive skills but he still scored from 35 metres out yesterday and nobody caught him.

Thought Addy did well tracking back after the Hull clean break.

That is one problem with tackle stats - not all tackles are equal in the context of the game, but this one saved a try

Not all tackles are equal but the stats tend to reveal patterns if you look at a significant number, e.g. 500+ .

I think the term you're looking for is statistackle significance.
