You and me both pal. I actually quite like Connor, I call him a nob/tool with some affection. I’m not sure I have any affection for Reynolds but there you go, I don’t think you guys will remember his name in a couple of years anyway.

Good luck for the rest of the season. I can’t highlight this enough-I’m not anti Hull in the slightest. I thought it was a great game today and a cracking atmosphere. The game needs characters and you’ve got some (you’ll be better once you replace Reynolds though).

Connor is a strange one. In our game a couple of weeks ago he had a run in with Welsby and was going after Roby all game. Surprisingly Roby reacted to him a couple of times too.

However after the game Connor was having a real laugh with Roby and Makinson, seemed to be good mates with Makinson. He does seem to be a pantomine villain but I often wonder what it’s like when they meet up for England when he’s spent all season winding players up.

I’ve not seen anything of yesterdays game but if he’s been trying to get a rise out of Bateman then it can’t be good when they all meet up for England (if he’s selected)

Guys like Houghton and Gale were calming it down after the hooter and fair play to them because they genuinely looked like they wanted to keep Bateman from doing something daft and lashing out. It’s a tough one without knowing other England players thoughts on Connor and if he’d affect team morale, after another season of run ins with England players. Roby won’t be in the England squad but a character like that getting frustrated with him isn’t a great sign.

To be honest the stuff at the end was due to the late shot by a Wigan player after Reynolds had already been tackled, was over the touch line and game had ended yet a Wigan player (didn’t see who) decided to continue with a supposed tackle on Reynolds while he was still in the floor. Reynolds got up and chucked the ball at the Wigan player which then set off the coming together of the players.

It was Smithies and granted, he shouldn’t have done it, however tempting the opportunity was.

It doesn’t explain why Connor decides to follow Bateman around for the next minute or so looking for a rise from him. I genuinely hope they think they can make things work with Connor in the England squad. He’s exceptionally talented and if his head is right, him winding up a few Aussies might be no bad thing.

Really good result for us. You really turned up to play and played some good stuff, fair play to you.
Peet and Briers have improved your style of rugby no end.
Like how Cust plays, great signing.

Still think you'll beat Saints at the end of the year.

Our defence on the right edge is still poor, it looks like Thornley and Smith have no connection at all. One of them usually shooting out which causes chaos.

Some sloppy defence by Byrne around the ruck again. Allowed Hull at least 2 tries.

Connor giving up when French scored was confusing to say the least. Could've decided the game if we didn't let them back into it almost straight away.

The game shows we need to work on our defence this week. Hudd's are a smart team with go forward up the middle and the skills to quickly switch play and make space out wide. We need to be switched on across the defence.

Yesterday's game was just what we needed, no complacency going Into next week now.

We showed alot of character getting back into the game after a horror start, with a big home crowd at Hull, always a difficult place to go to.

I thought we were pretty unlucky to go behind again after 18 all , there was a definite obstruction to stop us getting to the ball.

Hull probably deserves though after the dominant first 20 but we stuck at it.

On the plus side there looked to be some really nice tries scored when I watched the highlights. Some great playmaking from Jai Field and Harry Smith. We'd of taken that last year.

Dont say that mate Stains fans will come on and explain why you are wrong in great detail

Reynolds as i see it was signed to be the ying to Marc Snyeds yang one mr clean one mr grub ? we get that but not the quality or consistency expected of a NRL halfback imo . as for jake the snake (love him) but he is OTT sometimes, however i have watched FC since 1978 and jakes ball handling abilities are among the best ive seen and ive seen Norton Sterling Akoui Hasler Toppo Entat Macky Smith week on week . as for wiggy the ego cant stand him never wanted him and taking a season out because i cant stomach watching him lead my club

you did know the current England coach while coaching wigan had his international lads tapping jake up to join them on the denver international with NZ ? in all honesty jake is the perfect backs sub for England he can play 1-7 and 13 at a push + he`s a game changer as we saw in the game mentioned he replaced a blunt lomax that day scored one made one and has never had a bad game in an England shirt

They've got previous for it - Sione Mata'utia

I’d potentially pick him based on talent but you’re going to need to run any selection by senior players and see if they feel you can have harmony with a character like that involved. They may well say yes but it’s possibly quite complex. I get the feeling Jack Welsby may take any utility back position ahead of him.

He's just one of those players that his own teams fans love and everybody else hates. Won't be the last, and definitely isn't the first. Heard that he was pretty close to signing for Wigan as a lad. He might be a bit more popular on here if he had.

I can see that he isn't a Wane type of player and,as such, is unlikely to play for England soon
