A win is a win but we are so far away from the better teams in SL. I hate to say it but even our poor little neighbours looked very impressive at times with the ball against Warrington. Even their attack makes ours look nothing but slow, flat and easy to defend against.

As for referee's decisions, funny how the media didn't want to mention the ridiculous forward pass that set up Cas's first try and the full back running over his own dead ball line. Hull were very ordinary yesterday with a few highlights (Horne, Houghton, Washbrrok, Calderwood) but Cas were no better. I think that Hull's second half display was probably enough to seperate to very average teams.

The table doesn't lie. We are exactly where we deserve to be and sneaking into the 7th/8th spot is about all we can hope for this season with our current sqaud. A side with no scrum half, very little go-forward in the pack and a coach who is out of his depth can hardly expect to be competing for the top spots in SL. We are an average side and that will certainly be reflected in the table by the end of the season.
Grinding out wins against Salford and Cas, albeit a welcome four points, has changed nothing. Our displays are far from impressive and mediocrity still blights our current squad.
As for Thorman ??? WTF does he do ????

Yes it was a clumsy win, but i was very pleased that we have started chucking the ball about a bit more. I don't mind if we knock it on a few more times in a game, it is much more entertaining to watch and it DOES work. Hopefully Agar will be happy with this and should let it carry on into the warrington game.
A good time for a week off IMO, Tickle is making bad choices in defence, which he didn't do in the first 4-5 games of the season. He plays 80 minutes a week, he's knacked! I would have thought with Burnett back, he may have been spelled, but now Manu's out, there's even less chance of a rest.

Well done Hull Fc

I think you've got it spot on, we are very average and we are only just going to sneak into the playoffs. But i'd be happy with that and grinding wins out against other mid table sides...IF we are given signs (like new signings in key areas like half back) that things are going to improve for 2010.

Takes his wages and spends it. The win against Cas must give you all some hope of a turn around in fortunes. In all seriousness, Hull have a decent squad, they just need a spark of a new signing in the half backs, and if your visa problems could be sorted out and get the calibre of player here that you have waiting, then the poor losing run you've just had will be a distant memory.

He could have been penalised for any number of things. He moved off the mark (which resulted in Calderwood not being square), he didn't play the ball (he just stood on it) and then he grabbed hold of Calderwood.

Infact he should have been sin binned let alone have a penalty given against him.

Just hope that Agar doesnt pick G.Horne on the wing again....bloody awfull and cost us 2 tries by going walkabout.

thankfully Raynor should be back

and G Horne's really dipped these last few weeks, I thought he was showing signs of winning a new deal early in the year, but he can go IMO now

I don't see why we can't play broughton there, what's the point in getting him on loan? I know he is a centre but he can't do worse than Graeme. AND he scored a wonderful individual try last year when there was nothing on. verse Warrington i think it was

Play Hall there.

Yes but he isnt a winger, so you can't fairly judge him on that.

Hall is terrible on the wing

Better than Horne and Broughton.

his last few games at centre weren't great either though

he's another one who's decent but nothing special, and sadly our 'decent but nothing special' quota has been over-subscribed for a few years now!

In attack maybe...
And when have you seen Broughton play on the wing?
