I for one am not getting carried away, however the difference is that last year we won those 5 games without ever playing that well. We should have been out of site in one or two of those games but we made it hard work in all 5. Last night was a very clinical display and once we weathered the first 20 minutes of Saints pressure we never gave them a look in. |

I think personally he is letting his hatred for Hull get in the way of his judgement. I don't think we'll win it far from it but after the dross we've served up last two seasons I'm sure you'll forgive FC fans for celebrating a win like this.  |

| Quote General Zod.="General Zod."In isolation of last night's game, then my points were not proved correct, however they were made in the context of the full 27 rounds of SL which will be played in various conditions and I still stand by them.
It was a clinical performance last night but Saints' rotation was hit by injuries to Gardner, Soliola (spelling) and Gardner and they were leaderless and totally void of ideas, in the main kicking game to apply any kind of pressure - they were embarressing.
Credit to FC though, it was a good performance, but it doesn't change my prediction that they'll struggle to finish in the play-offs.'"
Your problem is you are judging Hull FC on last years team and coaching staff and there have been significant changes since then, you need a 2010 update my friend. |

Now didn't something similar happen in NRL not too many years ago? |

Yet you got dropped from the Tipping team by your Rovers mate for coming bottom by some distance 
For SL this year I really do think it will be too hard to call. I would back Leeds to finish top, no doubt. After that I think it's a lottery for spots 2-8. Saints are definately in decline and have a poor coach and lack pace. Hudds look good and should go well, Wire have a great squad and now a top coach and I would expect them to challenge. Rovers have not recruited well but still have a good squad, Cats look strong, Kear will have Wakey punching about their weight, Bradford's back are weak but they have Orford and he could be a real star if the pack go forward,Wigan will be a better side with Maguire in charge I feel and as for Hull well the recruitment has been first class and if they keep the players relatively fit then I think they will be challenging for the top 6 no doubt.
The Saints game was a good start but it's one win, still a long way to go. |

did gardner get 2 injuries?
leaderless and void of ideas? they could have done with a expeirenced half back. |

I thought most Saints fans would count losing Gardner as a blessing?
