W@nkers!

wilderspool was like a zoo

First time I went was when Greg Mackey left us to sign for them, our fans was giving him loads as they warmed up, I asked my dad what was he getting ragged for, he said Greg was meant to be going back home & signed for them.

He had a very good defensive game including dislodging the ball in tackles. One on Ormsby led to the Ellis try following the resultant scrum.

The game in general was an errorathon and could have taken a different turn if Clarke had taken his chance with the line wide open.
Look forward to the next clash between the 2 sides.

After last night his best stat is no errors, should have let him take 5 drives.

Is that in Manchester?

We keep defending like that it will be. Again thought yeaman did really well . Bloomin heck its so.good to be a fc supporter ATM. COYH

The sign of a champion side is one that can win ugly, and wins don't come much uglier than ours last night.

The work rate, commitment and self belief shown last night (mirroring recent weeks) was absolutely fantastic. The error rate may have been a tad too high for all concerned, but we can have no doubts about this team's desire to win games and their hunger for the battle.

There was a thread on here a few weeks back entitled "Do You Believe?". With every passing week that belief grows stronger that maybe, just maybe, we could be witnessing one of the great seasons in the club's history.

Because I've had my fingers burnt too many times in my many years of supporting the club, I'm almost too scared to even contemplate what might potentially happen in the coming months. The scale of possible achievement is almost too much to comprehend after nigh on a decade of floundering underachievement.

I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off (this is Hull Fc we're talking about after all!), but somehow it isn't happening. In it's own tortuous way, last night's victory was the stuff of (potential) Champions. There are still plenty of mighty battles to be won before any crowns are claimed, but we're in there, in the mix, fighting it out at the top of the table and after what has seemed like an eternity of wondering if these days will ever come 'round again, the excitement of what potentially the second half of 2016 could bring is almost too much to bear for this tired old cynical 50+ old chap!

Let's strap ourselves in and prepare for what could just be the ride of our lives, heaven knows we've earnt the right to enjoy ourselves just a little for once.

One final point; if our wildest dreams do come to pass between now and October, then one Gareth Ellis will join Whiteley, Norton, Sterling and Sullivan in the Fc Hall of Fame. Even by his standards, the guy was absolutely immense in his belief, effort and desire to take his team with him over the finishing line last night.

Spot on mate, atm I really believe this could be our year

Ugly win , but great result .
The abiding memory for me , was the players singing Old Faithful with the fans at the end . Great spirit , and a squad of players with a true love of the Club , and playing ability in abdundance .
Long may it continue .

Danny Houghton sang it from the heart.
In his aftermatch interview, Sneyd alluded to a new ball? He said it was very greasy/slippery and accounted for a lot of the mistakes. Is this a new type of ball they've introduced. Remember the last time the slimmer ball was introduced, a lot of teams had problems?
This team just keep getting better and better

One step at a time - there is a clash to come in the Super 8's.
