If someone kneed you in the head would you think it was fine and no further action needs to be taken?

Closer than I thought, Sao red was nonsense, though we looked slightly better in attack with Hoy on.

Can't see anything than a long hard.aeason.

It'll be the reserves playing next game with the amount of banned and injured we'll have.
Disastrous start to the season.

I took many knees in the head, and I only played football. I just got on with it because it was part of the game and what happens.

Have to say HKR have been poor.Had they been on their game tonight and not coasted it would have been 50 or 60 points.
This is the worst prepared and indisciplined Hull FC team i have seen for a long time with not a strike player in the squad.
Three repeat sets and you dont look like scoring.Pathetic

Think emotion got to us tonight and that’s enough said. Worked hard in D and if I was a rovers fan I’d be bit disappointed in the performance against that side

Hoy sped things up when he came on. With Cator and Houghton injured surely we have to move Brown to 9 and get Balmforth in to share the work. Hoy and Smith in the halves.

Tony Smith has many questions to answer after that performance. If that's the best he can get out of this lot he'll be gone before easter. An utter shambles of a performance, completely devoid of anything resembling SL standard rugby league.

The majority of our 3 quater line didn't play. Our vice captain didn't play. We lost Cator 5 minutes in. We lost our captain our full back to head injuries. We got two sent off and one sin binned.

Tonight wasn't our night.

Long way to go. On to the next.

Bring on Burgess's boys. If his team play with the aggression he played with, they'll be down to seven men.

I’ve never gotten too excited when we win our first game of the season.
I’m not gonna get too down hearted when we lose either.
Meh.

Hoy has to play FB when everyone is available, better than Walker in every department. Although given our other issues I'm not sure that's even an option because the halves were a mess too, and now Houghton might be out next week (not sure on the rules this year). I'd also suggest putting Okunbor on the wing because we are too lightweight in the back 3, but then what do you do in the second row? Absolute shambles. Hard to imagine a worse night, both in terms of the actual performance and what it means going forward.

Can’t argue with that and unless there’s a significant improvement over the next few games I think his position as Head Coach has to be under serious scrutiny.
Even taking into account to issues we faced before kick off and loss of Cator we looked miles off yet again.

Whats telling for me is that I don’t even feel that ed off or disappointed anymore as it’s become such a norm and expected.

Thought Ashworth looked pretty handy. Martin also tried his heart out and expected him and Litten to get ran ragged defending together but they didn't do a bad job.
Herman looked okay other than his yellow card. Good hard carries from him but a bit loose with the ball occasionally.
Seen Okunbor getting some stick but looked at the stats and he was the top tackled in the game with 41. Made 13 from marker and missed 3. So defensively he worked really hard. Got wrong footed by Lewis but he's not the only player who that will happen to this year. 1 error and 1 penalty early doors from him. Needs to see more ball but I think there's something to work with on him.
