That's the game then. Hate losing by a point. In a way I'd rather Warrington ran away with it.

Nah, rather lose by a point than loads. Considering we were missing a few & Shaul getting that knock it could have been a different result. It'll still give us a bit of encouragement going into the Salford game..

Big call by Bentham at the end there. Very big call.

We've played worse than that and won. We went from playing too much rugby to completely flat, but that's not a big surprise with us having a new 6 and 7.

Nice to see whiting back in his natural position of everywhere.

Obviously I can't comment on it, but even Lee Richardson thought it was ok, which tells you a lot.

We really need to do better in attack, but there's more positives than negatives. The defence seems to be top notch. One try conceded in two games against two top sides is outstanding, and who knows what the outcome would have been had Shaul been in any state to attempt a tackle? We also showed that we can compete physically against a good team without Ellis. Put Ellis, Sa and Talanoa in that team and I reckon we win (Shaul is also a big blow but probably cancelled out by Ratchford). Completion rate seemed very good again and not many penalties.

Listening to the game it seemed like all we needed to do was be patient in our attacking sets. We seemed to be ending every set with a high cross field kick when we should have been looking for repeat sets and turning the screw. Even a good side like that will break eventually.

Let's put it this way - how many times can you remember offside being given for a kick ahead at a non-televised game? Oh well. Still a good performance with the missing players and Shaul going off.

Decent performance given the injuries this week (most notably Ellis who is such a big player for us) but still a lot of concerns in attack for me, we still look no better on our last play options and we were guilty of panicking too early on when we were only 7 and then 1 points behind with plenty of time still left on the clock.

Pretty good display from Hull tonight especially given the players out. Plenty of positives to be taken and further signs of improvements on last season.

Not many teams will keep Warrington to one try.

Bentham put his arms up to pause the time and the hooter went, should of played the scrum...

To conservative 1st half. We should of opened up earlier.
That said still done well. Wire Are a good defensive team themselves. Tala sa Ellis then shaul n westy busted too we've done something amazing to be within a point to be fair. Giants n wire and conceded 7 points!!

Good solid effort tonight, almost sneaked it against a top side. Didn't think Bentham had a bad game tbh, couple of dodgy calls but let the game flow OK. We had the territory but not the cutting edge. IMO the halves looked OK but not much space to play in. Paea and Mini were great, Whiting showed his versatility and big raps to Michaels on what could have been a "rabbit in headlights" position. Disappointed to have lost though. Even missing 3-4 big guns we could have won and probably should have. Hopefully all bar Shaul back for Salford.

Bit disappointed that we lost concentration before the end of the half to allow them to make ground for the drop goal and some of our attack was a bit one dimensional. We need to have support either side of Pryce.

Still 2 points from 4 I'm happy with that and a lot to build on.

Shame we didn't get the win but very pleasing performance full of heart and commitment from everyone in Hull shirt. After playing two very good teams and only conceding 1 try is very a good start and if we manage to find a bit of consistency I have no doubt a top 5 finish is more than achievable . Wire just about deserved the win tbf but could have gone either way .
Looked like a very good crowd tonight , anyone know the attendance ?

Just back from the game. Tbh at first I never realised how many we had missing. No Sa, Talanoa, Ellis, still no Feka

First half - we started well, Hadley played great for twenty mins but the other forwards were invisible apart from little glimpses from Pea. The game the went a little flat and so did we and as soon as Wire lifted there game we was getting cut up. For me the forwards needed to up their game and the play the ball speed needing improving

Second half - Radford had obviously seen the same, tempo was up'd, play the ball speed was up, forwards was much better. Pryce was fantastic and really tried hard. Cunningham came on and was great. Whiting played really well throughout. Mini had another good game, whiting too.

Overall quite happy, a game we could of won but Wire were the better side. We lost it in the forwards imo but Eliis could of been the difference. Green was the worst forward for Hull and really needs to up his game. Why didn't Feka play?

Fine for me. All teams a bit rusty 2nd round but when you lose a centre a winger 1 of the comps best 2nd rows n have a prop in Centre n although whiting done it before he's a back row these days n he's playing fullback it's gonna hurt your attack. Thought pryce had more cutting edge than sneyd but sneyd probed well but took some wrong options. Would of had a few clean breaks/tries 2nd half with Shaul on. Whiting was through nearly 3/4 times but didn't have the pace to capitalise
