An excellent 2nd half from Saints which really turned things around from the 1st half. There was a few grumbling’s from the Saints fans when the hooter went at HT, not the defensive part but the attacking. But the Blitzkrieg at the start of the 2nd half calmed the nerves and fan’s were saying “i knew we’d come good”. Lomax & Fages were superb, but also credit where it’s due to Paulo who i thought had a cracking game even though he’s not the most popular of players at the club. It was good to see Swift have a decent game for FC, he won’t let them down. But the win has made the journey home an enjoyable one.

Sounds like a good summary, impressive response from Saints after last week. Unless injuries hit it’s difficult to see them not getting to Old Trafford again, even at this early stage. I know Hull had a few missing as well but to do that without Coote, Percival and Roby shows how good they are. I think it’ll be between Hull and Wigan for second place, although I don’t think Lam or Radford are great.

Yeah agree, they are the benchmark, we had 6 players (Add in to that Naulogo off injured, Lane playing with an injury and Fonua not fit) out of our 17, when this happens we just dont have the quality to replace them, particulary in the forwards, we don't seem to produce the young squad players that Saints and Wigan do.

Strongest 17 against Stongest 17 I think in a one off game we could beat anyone, we just don't have the squad to or menatally to do it week in week out and finish at the top. Wouldn't suprise me to see us win the cup again, but I really want us to get to the Grand Final.

It amazes me that a so called rugby league mad city can't produce its own players and has had to resort to merging acadamies to be able to get a team out in the last few years.

It depends on how rich you are and how far you will to take players from outside of its catchment area like Wigan do

There must be millions of amateur clubs in the rugby mad city of Hull. Wigan surely don't sign every upcoming player

lol millions, if Wigan could they would it all depends on the lad willing to travel and then move out that way

The grass is always greener on the other side when there's a big wad

Tbf to them they do try their best.

So the rugby mad city of hull can't produce it's own players because Wigan steal them all?

Then where do they go, because most of our academy graduates are from Wigan?

We were beaten by the current champions. How did you get on against last years bottom dweller?
