Well done lads great game,

As a neutral attending the game, I have to say how much I enjoyed it. I thought Hulls defensive line was superb and totally snuffed out Chase. The kicking game was excellent and created tries. Great to have a chat with Johnny Whiteley after the game

Better performance but wont mean anything if we dont back it up next week, Good to have watts and holdsworth back

Cheers every1 for the messages all good hear just rib cartilage popped out. #notserious #oldfaithfull

Good News considering they thought he may have a couple of broken ribs.

Well done PG perfect tactics from the off in the conditions and in DJ you've got a player who can carry them out. You passed your test well

Good performance, but perhaps not quite as good as the scoreline suggests as Cas gifted us a couple. Don't think you can say any Hull player played badly, although there were maybe a handful who were still a bit mixed (e.g. Yeaman, Lynch). Some also seemed to start a little slowly but then had really good games the longer the game went on (Westerman, Briscoe, and particularly Horne, who I thought had an excellent 2nd half). Galea's best game for us IMO, although I do still think his gametime needs to be managed better. Looked like he was really blowing for the last 10 of the first half to me. Thought Watts looked in really good condition for his first game back.

The most pleasing thing for me was that we showed more patience with the ball and actually built pressure instead trying to score on every tackle. Still a few occasions where we were guilty of trying too hard and turned over possession, but a vast improvement in this area.

Has there been any mention of Johnson and Pitts and why they were the ones to make way? Was it just tactical? I can't remember seeing them in the warm up, but strangely Chris Green was there despite not being in the 19. Wondered if one of them had dropped out injured or anything.

Jason Crookes has a job on to get back in the side.

word was that if Ben Crooks was fit he would have played and it wouldnt have been Arundel missing out

good post mate i saw Chris green and Jason Crookes both out there in the warm up don't no if anyone else spotted him? i think it will be hard to drop lineham but Crookes was playing well before the injury id say just swap them both to keep them fresh every now and again good to have that depth in the wings though!

Oh, and also: Welcome back the real Danny Houghton, we've missed you for a few games.

Well on tonight's performance I think it would be hard to disagree if that happened next week.

Agree with the patience bit. Thought lynch went well personally and more so 2nd spell.
Thought watts looked really trim but 1st impressions are he's not lost anything though. Strong 1st game back.
Decent enough performance, should keep the drama queens at bay for the week at least. Ha

Thought Lynch started the second half badly/sloppily but recovered. Still not up to last year's standard IMO.

When tickle started fighting i though (i could be wrong) he got caught with a high tackle, a few did go by the way side for both teams... Now for me if ganson had blown for it it then none of that would have happened? Maybe im wrong just how i saw it. Besides, good effort from everyone tonight, nothing to get too excited by but i was more impressed with the work rate. Most fans dont care too much about winning or losing, they just want to see the team trying their best. Think they did tonight.

Well done

Can't argue against that scoreline even though Cas were $h17 . Much better test next week to see were we are.
