Thinks he’s been a great pick and would like to see him used a bit more. Thought Ashworth was good tonight too. 

Good win. How far have we come when we beat Cas at there place by 10 and most of us are a bit disappointed. As most have said last 20 was flat but hey ho we got the job done .. Real shame about Cust as him and Seizer look a good pair. Forwards looked good and Briscoe was a real handful. Shame he dropped the ball over the line but will forgive him that one. TBF Litten went well to....Still not seeing it with Moy . Kids young but ATM apart from being brave not doing a lot. Against Rovers it's gonna be a problem who plays 6?..That's up to the coach to sort out ... Hopefully Hardaker back ..

Thought at times we played ok, ball in hand.. The last 10 mins was a bit disappointing, put the cue on the rack.-IMO.
Was very impressed with Eseh, carried the ball strong, and good work rate. I thought it was Briscoe's best game since he's returned.. also Fash , he's improved  his discipline, he was the main culprit, in the ' 6 again' , defensively excellent.
Next week, it would be massive IF Will Pryce was earmarked to play, just for the reaction from the other side of the city..
If not I'd like to see Rapana at 6, maybe Hardaker or Litten at FB, Moy at the moment, is too lightweight, and needs to work more under the high ball 

It was a pretty sloppy last 20, but for me that was down to the decision on the Briscoe strip to not either go for the two or set up for the drop to make it a 3 converted try plus game, especially as Hoy is a poor goalkicker. 


Hindsight is wonderful but if they did that I think they close the game out comfortably instead of going for the Hollywood pass for a winner. In a bigger game they might have made that decision anyway, if not hopefully that last 10 mins in a warning to do so in future. 


Aside from that a great performance considering the disruption losing Cust and Borough. Rovers game is realistically done now, they have an easy game on Sunday and will likely rest players, could see us picking up knocks/bans last night a mile off but we are in no position yet to rest players when 2 points at stake, glad we got them especially with a tough run in coming up.  

Aaron Bower: Hull FC have won more Super League games in six matches this season (4) than they did in their previous 36 matches spanning two seasons (3). Some start from John Cartwright

Would it be better to play Moy at 6 and Rapana at fullback? Moy is a bit suspect under the high balls and rovers could exploit this next week 

Any team would just pick Moy out. Imagine Rovers edges running at him all game, he'd get mullered

As others have said, it's a sign of how much progress has been made in such a short space of time that by the end of last night's game there was a slight air of deflated disappointment around the faithful. The second half became very scratchy and disjointed with all the interruptions and enforced changes happening.


But, we've now won five away games on the bounce having previously gone 18 months without so much as a sniff of one. We never seriously looked like losing last night, but our inability to not kick on in that second half did lead to the air of frustration around the place, which probably is how the likes of JC and Sezer felt about the outcome.


Next Saturday is clearly going to be a different ball game, and I do worry that we may find ourselves pinned back in our half for prolonged periods, unable to make metres against rovers stifling defence, but 9pts from a possible 12 is way above anything I thought we would come out of from the opening six games. Certainly, if we have learnt anything from these opening matches it's that this side will dig in and graft. It may not be very pretty at times but so far everyone has risen to each challenge set in front of them. Think we're going to need a good deal more of that attitude (in spades) next Saturday if we are to derail their hopes and dreams.


Two more points on the tally cementing our place inside the top-four! Who would have thought it 6/7 weeks ago? Bring on the next (big) challenge. We have hope and belief in ourselves once more, and that alone is significant progress on recent years.    

It's good to be winning and beating those teams we're hoping to be above.  Especially pleasing they've all been away.  We're now coming into a difficult run of fixtures with a busted squad so will inevitably see some L's in the result's column.  It's all about heart and desire from now and making sure we don't revert to type when things invariably start to get tougher.


I'm sure our start has surpassed internal expectations but it will mean nothing if we don't continue to compete.


I do now think there's every chance we can finish the season with a reasonable chance at 6th place if we can actually get everyone on the field at the same time consistently - doubtful though it is

Six games in and we have 50% more points already than we achieved across the whole of 2024, and a Cup win at Wigan to boot!! Like you say, some start from JC. Wonder how it compares to our other coaches across recent years?


The times they are a-changing, as someone rather more erudite than myself once famously said!
