All played there part but we have to stop Houghton playing the full 80, which should coincide with the return of our halves.

IMO the score doesnt tell how well hull have played.

Agree.....Well done Hally good game

I know what you mean but it also concerns me that we're satisfied with an 18 point defeat. Our squad simply isn't good enough (by a long way).

With Long, Horney andTansey we certainly will be...Bring on the business end of the season!

Up against a team packed with stars on form and with your HB pairing out. Player sin-binned into the bargain.
Not a bad result imho.

Those lads worked damn hard tonight. But no matter how hard they work, if you have no half backs all the effort takes you no where. How many years are we going to continue with this situation? A couple of injuries and we're knackered. Other teams seem to cover for this situation, why can't we?
I'm maybe a silly old git but it breaks my heart to see those lads work so hard for nout.

To be fair we were missing both halfs and our full back and playing away against a top 2 team who were able to rest two players.

So you think with all the players we had out, compared to what they had wasn't a top 4 side performance? playing with almost a youth 1-7 besides Berro.(i think)

IMO we need berrigan back at hooker ASAP. I like houghton but the distribution from the PTB is slow and innacurate. Means we look slow and laboured and struggle to make ground

Warrington had Briers, Bridge and Carvell missing tonight and one eye on the cup final. We're a long way short of challenging for honours, don't be fooled. We showed effort (but shouldn't we always) granted but it takes more than that to win things.

It's not all about the score sheet though. I've been to many games were we have won by 6 points or more and thought we have been poor.

Hull FC played with some real spirt today, and credit to them. Warrington were quality, but a couple of our own play making decision going slightly differently and we may have got the win today - with the injuries we have, against a squad as fast as theres, I think our lads deserve a pat on the back. We can take a lot of confidence into the game against Leeds.

I concede we will not win anything this season (secretly I think/hope/believe we will )...I disagree we are far off considering we had no organisers on the pitch, however I do not think we are far off....we will beat Leeds at the KC!

Spot on that!
