Lets start the season positive and believe. We are Hull. We, for me, have a unproven coach at sl level. But a coach who will put the hours in, have respect from the players. On paper we have a decent team to get some good results. If Biggs isn't good enough he wont play.

Come on you hull.

I only watched about 20 minutes or so, but the only exciting parts seemed to come when the ball went to Bath's right and they actually ran with it. Not a complete coincidence that that was where Kyle Eastmond was playing...

The late French try was pretty good though. Blind side run, chip over, re-gather, score. If only they could do that sort of thing in RL occasionally...

I got free tickets to watch London Irish v Wasps before Xmas while I was down that way. The game was a shambles with poor skills on show. Andy Goode looked like a fat club contestant and the action of rapturous applause for penalty kicks was a way of keeping warm - even I joined in. Aerobically the ref was the fittest guy on the pitch with a million whistle blows to his name by half time. Biggest eye opener was the demographic difference - rows of 50k+ motors in the car park and designer fashion even in the cheap seats. Got the odd flat cap comment sat there in my FC merchandise but all in all there's no wonder Biggs wants a go at summat decent before he packs in.

I'm sure the offensively minded coach that Radders is , will only enhance this.

Oh hang on ................................................................................................................

Was flicking through channels for something to watch and saw it was Bath. Didn't expect he would have started but was impressed with him in the first half. Brave hard running. Didn't see much defensive work from him. Took the high balls well. having said that Bordeaux didn't pressure him that much
