Outstanding performance and how great are these weekend afternoon games?. I can tell you it makes the drive over from Leeds so much easier than the struggle with the rush hour on a thu/fri night. Loved hearing this young kids in the West Stand chanting Hull FC Hull FC Hull FC just before the final whistle. Thats how you rebuild your fan base, weekend games and get the kids hooked for life.

Back to the rugby, obvs Snake and Grub were outstanding, however really pleased to see Bowden having a decent dig. Scott had his best game so far before the injury. Darnell looked great and overall a solid performance. As others have said all done with a stack of players sat in the stands, I won't get carried away but very promising. Picked up my Cas tickets and am joining the Prawn sandwich brigade for the Rhino's game, back in the directors suite again. Now what to choose from the menu?

Who was put on report after Scotts try. Salford player for the hit or Connor for feigning injury

Think FB is where Connor can really display his range of talent. The FB role gives him much more freedom and his ability to link play is unreal. He was at FB for Huddersfield just prior to him signing for us when he ripped us apart in that game.

Not getting carried away but yesterday was a pleasing performance and at home and with a fair few players still sat in the stands.

Connor yesterday
1 Try
6 Try assists
3 Tackle Busts
2 Attacking Kicks
20 Carries
91 Metres
1 Clean Break
5 Kicks in General Play

Big metres too
McIntosh 150
Scott 134
Griffin 131
Swift 121
Brown 109
Sao 98
Reynolds 96
Connor 91

Some great stats there and I wa delighted to see Chris's try. So obviously something practiced in training. He was on his way to the line before the ball had actually been played.

I'll give you a wave bro.

Surley there still can't be people who think Connor is not our best fullback.
Thought our defemce was good yesterday, 2 trys from kicks and a crazy offloading try.
Sneyd yesterday showed why he isn't a top scrum half, his passing was atrocious.

Thought Brown was outstanding,for me should be on the 17 every week, offers something totally different to our other props.

Thought Bowden had a good dig, if he can get back to previously form, then that's a real bonus.

Hey you know i love Jake
I’ve been saying he’s a HoF player for us so try in weeks and before many many on here.

He’s a 6 - simple
as that
Reynolds moves on and we spend his money on a terrific FB and move Jake to where Wayne Bennett knew he should play - 6 for England.

come on - he’s not a defensive FB !! anyone who thinks he is must be deluded
A second rower waltzed around him as did the green Cas winger last season

it’s only great news - I’m not being negative only positive
He’s a 6

Salfords number 13

FCs 2nd try - Jake was amazing but Reynolds must be thinking “ am
I here just for the salary ?”

Was nothing wrong with that tackle IMO.

A great result, Salford were poor though, I was expecting a very difficult game but Jake ran the show and Lane was great too. I was sorry for Cam Scott, his best game for me and his injury was unfortunate, but hopefully he gets a lot of confidence from his time on the field, because he hasn't really impressed before that and he is an ex GB junior captain I believe, so there is a player somewhere in there, maybe this will help him to show more. I do think abject refereeing is spoiling the game and Salford's number 13 was harshly sinbinned for me. Pleased for Josh Bowden too- he's been written off by most of us and he had a decent game and will be a great addition to the 17, if he can maintain and improve that level.
Gives us a great platform to tackle Castleford, they'll be hurting and the anxiety of no wins will either motivate or deflate them - watched them against Rovers and their pack, including Watts , were nothing to fear, their discipline is much like ours too , so we may well see both teams with sinbinnings and lets hope we can start to learn from previous misdemeanours, although the application of the rules is now ruining the game, some head tackles are not malicious, just the opposite mostly and I hope the refs calm down a bit or the game is not RL anymore for me.

Did their 13 get binned I thought he was just put on report?
