Aye , Cracking effort.

Got back at 1:15. We planned ahead and got KFC after the game whilst the traffic died down! Great trip!

not far off 15000 there last night. did hull take a lot?

Not a great spectacle,but all you want to see from your team,tons of effort,determination,and playing with a spirit we haven't seen for a long while.Great 2 points.!

Our stand was packed, we'd have struggled to fit more in.

Fantastic win last night. Great to see us grow in confidence as the game went on.

Tickle was a real standout for me. Almost faultless with the boot and his line running and impact was outstanding.

Turner's try reminded me of an Ellery Hanley score back in his Bradford days (at Headingley). I'm really pleased for Turner, he seemed to spot the gap and backed himself all the way!

It was awesome, brilliant support from FC. The team put in a great defensive effort and I was really impressied with Wade and Jordan. Top night.

There was loads of room left. It's a pretty big stand. Watch the replay on Sky and you'll see the space near the edges.

It was far, far from packed! There was tons of room in the East Stand. I know this as I stand in the West. There were some Saints fans in with you too.

Saints fans have turned out in big numbers (for us) this season. However, our team is still on vacation.

Well I thought that both teams where pretty solid defensively. However we did not take our oppertunities to close out the game when we had them. We had a 3 on 1 and the ball stuck in the hands of Wellens, great offload from Perry but Wellens managed to gift it to Hull, then a break away try and a few penalties and the game was gone.

Not watched alot of Hull this year, but I thought you ran with alot of energy. Your number 9 gave great distribution. I also thought your number 3 looked dangerous with ball in hand, really outstepped our defence a few times. It was very much a carbon copy of the Huddersfield game for us Saints fans, even to the break away try and penalties gifted away.

I thought we lacked a leader to control the game when we where 10 - 4 up. The thing is even when Roby returns I don't think he is that leader. Great player but not the leader. Without that leader we are a confidence side and right now our confidence is down.

I also come back via the m62. And sorry but there is not alot Saints can do about motorway maintance. how that is our fault is beyond me, but still got back to leed in an hour and 10, following the diversion signs, so it was not too bad a delay.

no one blaming saints, some of them on here just enjoy a good moan
Imo Saints are really missing graham

It was a great carnival atmosphere Friday and we enjoyed our win.

But although the tries were good to watch, make no mistake it was our defence that won us the game. For a long spell before and after the Gardner try they hit our line with everything they had, they looked dangerous and everyone feared the worst. But we held out heroically and went up there end and equalised. After that that they were never the same attacking threat, yes they scored a second try but the whole dynamics of the game changed. we knew we could take their best shot and stand up to it. We could see the confidence drain from them.
Had they gone 2 scores up when they were running hot they would have ran in more I'm sure, we were on the rack. But they never. and we grew in confidence as they became devoid of ideas and a leader.

Our defence is for me the big difference versus last year, and its getting better. When Gentle brings our attack up to scratch we could be dangerous.
2 final points - Hail Whiting he was immense. and young Ellis.... well the guy could be one of the best ever, he comes on the pitch, plays like he's 10 years older, runs the show, injects pace and urgency, great vision for a young lad and tackled like Arthur Keegan !! For me he's a ringer for a young Andy Gregory, I pray he brings us the same success. We could end up building a team around this guy for years to come.

although ive only seen the tries twice did anybody else feel TP left the ball short of the line for their 2nd try(not that it matters)

At least someone thought we were dangerous! The way our halves played we wouldn't have broke down an U11s defence



It was clearly over from where I was! Like you say it doesn't really matter anyway
