| We have made a fantastic start to the season, and we are playing far better than I expected.
I still feel we are a few players short of being a title challenging side, but our good start means we stand a good chance of breaking into the Top4, and from there anything can happen...
I hope today's game has shown the fans (both in the ground and watching on TV) that we have a committed team playing good rugby. I hope the fans get themselves to the Hudds, Wigan and Leeds games and get behind the team.

| Lets not get too carried away, but equally enjoy this while it lasts. History says it dont last long at Hull FC. We should have beaten Wire. we blew it against Salford. since then we have shown steady improvement even with injuries. Monday will be tough but something tells me we have the nerve and steel to run the Giants close. in close games its a question of disciplind and even thats improving. Have faith folks this is going to be an exciting season. I said 6th at the start but i feel we will be top 4 come play offs.

While I agree that we have some 'bad' days to come, I am confident that under Gentle we won't see the team 'not turn up' and get hammered like we did frequently under Agar.
I too was happy with 6th at the start of the season, but I feel we can sneak into the Top4 now.

| Not quite yet - IMO
Our team ethic is superb. - Defence is very well structured.
to go to the next level,we need a 6 ,who can pass at speed,and create more than 'a drop-off pass' , also with a long kicking game.
Horne looked better at FB -, would like to see Ellis given a go at 6.
Whiting was sensational at 13, Dallas Johnsonesque.
All in all ,the future is looking very rosy.

| At the beginning of the season, I reckoned 4th place in the league would be very satisfactory. For too long we've stuttered a spluttered with a good win here and there followed by a bad loss against teams we expect to beat.
Crucially, in my opinion, we are now becoming a team with a habit of winning. Long may it continue

| Normally, after a win over an average team, I would not be too euphoric. However, are we back? Not sure yet, but let's
I've for the moment.

| I think the signs are there that we're on the road back to where we should be. If we can get the guys back who are missing then we can push on.
I've been out of the loop a bit - what is happening with Sam?

Returned home on compassionate leave. The Brother said earlier that Sam is due back on Tuesday so he will hopefully come into contention for the Cup game.

663_1379281559.jpg [b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg |

| Today we watched a team dominate the game from very early on and even when we went behind I was never worried. We have a coach who has created an environment where players can flourish, Sharp and Turner are very different players now to a year ago. I saw players backing each other up with a belief in each other and a do or die attitude is clear to see , they want to be together. The tactics where spot on, perfect in ever way and we seem to using differing plans for differing teams, which is of course how it should be.
Peter Gentle says very little to the media and comes across as a bloke getting on with his job quietly, avoids loud brash statements. I do not think we are going to win all before us, but I do think we are competing and the rugby on display is a whole lot better then the fare we have been served up. Winning today will improve our standing and will put extra on the gate in coming weeks.
Thanks Peter Gentle and the rest of the coaching staff for giving us quality RL back and restoring pride we are not back quite yet but we are on the right track now.
