Well done Hull FC. Don’t mind getting beat when the effort is there.

When is he due back? Hopefully Carlos and Sutcliffe soon as well.

Not the easiest start to the season fixtureswise, away at both Grand Finalists, and Catalans, in the first 5 rounds. Key now is to show some of that effort in the next few games.

Happy with the attitude and application any other night we get the griffin and dywer trys.

Game smarts i think the drop out before halftime has to be managed alot better.

Think Saints pack outworked ours abit, need our props doing more work with the ball. Otherwise alot better , same team next week make them play for the shirts.

Criticised scott lately but played well tonight as did Griffin, sutcliffe , carlos and trueman to come in and we keep that attitude through the team we l be ok, will give us a platform to rebuild end of season

He had enough time and space to compose himself in my opinion. The effort we put in tonight produced that opportunity for us to win the game with that opportunity. He didn't have the skill set to take it.

I get it's easy to say and in the moment it's more difficult to execute, but for me and maybe it's just disappointment after a great effort from the team, but those chances have to be taken.

Huge effort, fine margins, so close to winning thar, Griffins try, Scott intercept and Dwyer.

Need to repeat that effort more or it means nothing

Hopefully Sutcliffe back soon, so Griffin can go back into the back row. Lane scares me everytime he's in a tackle as he needlessly keeps hands in or pushes their player as he stands up. He is a walking '6 again'

Lovodua needs to be out now too, I'd be happier with Carlos at 6 than Joey

Saints also defended well tonight, I can't remember too many times if any we beat the first man. Hoy had a lot of easy catches tonight but never saw him beat the first defender.

Young Litten without being spectacular did enough to keep his place for next week. Looked a lot more confident a player than Mcintosh.

Bounce of the ball dwyer nearly made the difference.
Joey not good enough at 6.
If fit I’d have Sutcliffe there for Leigh game.
Not ideal but until Truman or macnamara are fit then it’s best option.

Gotta say that Brad Fash, possibly the smallest forward in the league is a giant of a player. He stood out for me again out of both packs of forwards. Another great shift from him tonight.

Houghton is still the best number 9 at our club. Change my mind if you can?

When quality players like Tom Johnstone become available, we sign Brad Dwyer who hasn't made it at his last two clubs. That's why Catalans are top of the league and we're in the bottom few. They can attract top players while we sign average jorneymen.

We could have made do with Houghton and Lovodua playing at hooker. We just can't attract the the quality players to sign for us.

As was said after the Salford game by FC fans a loss is a loss. It doesn’t matter what the score is, it’s still a loss whether you lose by 8 points or 50.

Saints were there for the taking tonight and you came up short……again.
