Briscoe scores at last

With all the time left, still not a winning lead, but please Hull, don't let this one slip!!

Foster scores

Game over now. Great win at a crucial time in the season!

Fantastic result.

Good win for Hull, Cats were very poor by the sounds of it.

Cracking result, very good performance, particularly defensively.

Well happy with that result. I honestly thought we'd not even get close.

Blunderside gave the impression that we were largely poor and Catalan were worse. Always in negative mode those jokers.

Good game, defensively we were very strong, decent in offence but I thought we lost a bit of shape when Houghton went off tbh..
Fantastic result today though, and a pleasure to watch our young ones stepping up to the mark.

On holiday so rang my mum after the game to hear what had gone on per the RH commentary - delighted by the scoreline. She relayed the report of a poor performance and them banging on about how much work we have in front of us. Is that a fair reflection of a scratch team beating 3rd placed Catalans by a margin of 20?

Both teams made hashes of a few would be tries, but the fact remains that the opportunities were made, so neither side played badly. In fact, Catalan's movement and commitment to provide runners and keep the ball alive is to be admired. Our desire in defence was outstanding for 80 minutes though. With 3 minutes left and a 20 point lead we still had 3 in the tackle trying to force a dropout from 10 yards out and very nearly doing it. Several players had their best games for weeks IMO, and I think it was probably our best performance since Leeds considering the quality of opposition.

We were quite disjointed in attack but our defence is coming back to where it was earlier in the season, it could be random but we seem to be giving less penalties away.

Briscoe ran well from fullback but his handling wasn't great, Lineham was strong again and took a good high ball. The pack was strong against their big set. Seymour seems a shadow of his earlier form, I have heard he has quite bad knee injury and is playing through it.

Don't fully agree with that, our most dominant spell in possession was the first 20 of the 2nd half and Heremaia was one of those at his best for weeks. If you just mean the way we finished the first half after the change though, then I'd probably agree.

catalan came with a game plan, slow the PTB down and try and bully fc, for the first twenty odd minutes i thought they would get on top, but then we just seemed to match and frustrate their forward pack and in the second half we totally dominated their pack! ref was poor again allowing catalans to play the game to how they wanted it!
