Might play one each half next week

Play one v Rovers and other v Wakey

Soaked up period of York camped on our line. Sa in. Sneyd converts. 40-0.

Good news. And to think that knockersbumpMKII considers him a pointless signing.

Even mre important to have cover as it sounds like Rankin may have a bad injury.

Well it's a Radders signing so he will think it's pointless

Towering bomb from Sneyd forces York error. Sa in again, hat trick.

Gorgeous chip by Sneyd finds Talanoa on the wing. Sneyd converts 52-0.

Sounds very promising

Yeanan break backed up by the lightning Shaul. 56-0. Shaul's been terrific.

Shaul hat trick.

Far more encouraging start to the preseason than last year.

Shaul chips the defence and regathers. Sneyd converts 62-0.

Gutted I didn't have time to go to this. Both games sound very good from a Hull POV. I really hope Radford plays Shaul for one half and Naughton the other next week so we can see both and compare for ourselves. Looking forward to Sneyd being in our side. He showed loads of class at Castleford last season.

In games like this where nothing is at stake and you are always going to win its easy to throw the ball around and play exciting rugby. What is much more important is the attitude of the players. Can you keep the intensity up when you're 40 up with half an hour to play when 5 subs have just come on? It seems like we did, and that is a good sign.

I agree with other posters, it sounded incredibly positive, certainly didn't turn off the intensity and was especially impressed by the younger players in the first game, future looks bright for us in terms of youth development!

A few points on reflection
If we assume it was mainly Donny's first team (no idea) it's a really good result. Standouts for me were Naughton (pace and chiming into the line) and Abdull whose reading of the game and late drop goal were excellent. Green had a decent couple of short spells too.

Regards the York game, clearly a mismatch of personnel quality. We fielded a very strong line-up and got some big minutes into them. Forwards all worked hard, standouts were Shaul and Sa. Sneyd played very well too, mixed up the options and took the line on, some good bombs and chips and 9/11 conversions.

Good to see Pryce doing plenty of talking to the younger players, Ellis set the tone at the beginning and was clearly taking it seriously. A real shame for Rankin though. Looked like a dislocation from afar. His injury apart, Radford should be happy with the afternoon's work.
