A Zucchini said, I did make comment on how good Westerman was tonight, and also Johnson.

Thought all the forwards stood up very well agaonata mmassive pack.

In fairness we had little luck tonight. Having said that, DJ was almost completely anonymous which goes a long way towards explaining why we struggle to score. That and the fact that we had zero PTBs in their 20 metre zone in the entire second half. Some of that was our fault but a fair amount of it was Thaler being an enormous cock.

If crooks is fit id go with miller and horne at HB.

It's very tempting, but Crooks and Crookes on that wing could easily be a defensive nightmare.

You say that every week. Thaler reffed the game equally for both sides. They got some 50/50 calls, but so did we. Our lack of attacking ability has nothing to do with refereeing.

I seem to remember seeing a stat a while back that throughout the season, Hull are the team that seem to have the least amount of ball during games which figures with the amount of tackling we always have to do.
Do we turn the ball over that much? I don't think so, we just don't do anything with it.

Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Crookes, Shaul - All outstanding tonight

Not a bad player on the park IMO

Feel free to quote all those posts blaming the ref for our poor attack. Should be easy enough if I say it every week.

The refs in SL are generally crap, and I comment on that pretty much every week because pretty much every week they're crap. If you seriously believe that we got an even hand with the lousy decisions tonight then you might want to watch it back again.

And finally, I said that our lack of PTBs in their 20 had a lot to do with Thaler - not our misfiring attack. Having one of our halves do nothing of any note all game would probably explain that quite handily.

We do turn the ball over more than we should, but another big problem is poor 6th tackle plays. We just don't build pressure. Like tonight, where Catalan forced all those dropouts and we managed just two (IIRC).

He was possibly better than last week, TBH.

50+ years a Hull FC fan and didnt go tonight so feeling a little bit 'ashamed'.

Watched the game on Sky and yes - our attack is poor- and yes - Catalan forced 10 goal line drop outs - but - our defence was just outstanding and the commitment from 1 to 17 was there to see.

Can we win at Huddersfield? Wigan showed that if you can stop the Giants A game they have no plan B.

If we produce a similar performance to tonight we still might not win but we would end the season with some pride and credibilitty restored.

You moan about refs every week.



Of course we did. Every week you seem to think we get a bum deal from the refs. This simply can't be the case unless someone at the RFL has decided that they'll always favour the opposition in our matches.



Whatever you said, it clearly wasn't anything to do with Thaler. Our own shortcomings led to our lack of possession and territory.

Solid display by the boys tonight in poor conditions. Defensively very sound.

Thought Westerman was very good tonight.
