I don’t know about sliding in it looked more like he was also trying to kick the the ball out of Clifford’s hand which you’d think would constitute dangerous play.

you mean like i said that Hoy was disappointing and i had seen more from Litten in a 20 minute stint at full back than Hoy.
Your wig flew off in rage but whats your opinion now?
I am a fan of Chris Satae but his defence tonight was poor.The game is also about defending and his defensive effort wasnt there.

What a win and I said if we keep Wigan to 16 points or less then we win regardless !

That win was just what we needed and yes we can 100% secure league safety at Wakey next week then beat Cas in the Cup

Clifford was class and Mint was super

Lane - mentioned many times in this thread - made 1 metre in the 2nd half

Missed tackles on 8 mins and late in first half - the 8th minute miss alarmed me greatly as well as the lack of metres in the 2nd half

Why can’t we coach him to perform better ?

Really pleasing performance in the conditions and great to get the win against the club at the top of the league on a good winning run. I thought we'd blown it when we fluffed that chance near the end and Wigan matched up field but the players found that extra energy to hang on. We asked for more commitment and effort and we've had that in spades in the last two games.

Clifford was excellent, Litten once more showed what a fine prospect he is, Houghton again rolled back the years and Trueman though obviously rusty came up with that important play in the last minute.

Hopefully Hoy is back next week. Personally I'd have him at full back and Litten on the wing.

Agree on the Litten point. It strengthens us on the wing. Hard to believe he's only a teenager.

Going into half-time I thought we were dead men walking so did terrific to hold on.
Thought Clifford was excellent and big raps for Sutcliffe as well.
Hoy is our full-back, back he comes.

Sutcliffe proving to be a very good signing.

What attendance figure did the club make up last night ?

Well worth rising at the crack of dawn to watch this match. My man of the match was Houghton with over 50 tackles including the try saver on French. His positioning to be where he was to affect the tackle was superb.

Loved the contribution by Lee Briers on the broadcast team - currently he is an assistant coach at the Brisbane Broncos who currently lead the NRL ladder and he confided that he coached Houghton when he played in an under 9's team. Said even at that age he was a player with loads of energy who never gave up.

Officially posted was over 10,200.

What is ‘officially posted” and how many were actually in attendance are two different entities at Hull.
About 6,500 there last night tops.

Magnificent defence.Well deserved.
