Good grief whats next someone playing the theme from mash its only one game not 20 as preivously post iits not how you start its where you finish. There always next week

Don`t trip over your bottom lip on the way out.

no point in panicking after 1 game. it will take time to gel the new players. our attack was poor but the leeds defence was also very good. was dissapointed with the last 20 when we laid down n had our bellies tickled tho.
about 4 years ago norwich got spanked 6 or 7 - 1 in their first league 1 game, but recovered to win the division with several games to go.- so as corporal jones used to say "DONT PANIC"

I'm as disappointed as everyone else after last night, but the overreaction to a single defeat is staggering. Anyone would think last night's game was the latest chapter in a ten game losing streak.

I thought Leeds were highly impressive and seemed determined to lay down a marker for the coming year. Whoever came up against Leeds would have found it difficult, especially when they went up through the gears after 55 minutes.

So, yes it was a disappointing result, yes the performance leaves some room for improvement, but it's game 1 out of a 27 game season.

Chin up everyone, it's never been easy supporting FC (as I'm sure we all know, old or young alike).

defensively we have had a real good work out. as we did in the derby too. but the attack simply isn't ready for competitive rugby. after all the big talk coming out for the hull camp its really hard to simply take it on the chin. why???? ive waited a long time for the start of the season and i feel like im still waiting. i rekon we will aventually play some decent rugby this season but for now its gonna be a bumpy ride

More that we've had a six year hype+disappointment streak, which does not immediately appear to have been broken by the top 4 talk + Ellis injury + ritual seeing-to at Headingley. Not loads of positives to take out of that game IMO.

I agree completely.

Some of you need to get a grip no side has a divine right to be a top side and need to work to be so.Its early doors with a few new faces and 3 regular players out in Watts,Tickle and Ellis so need to be patient and if then at the end of the season nothing has changed you will have a good right to be up in arms.

Say that again.!

you do know what 'if' means dont you?

Strike that. Reverse it.

Have a butchers at the saints board...

Our last tackle plays were abysmal last night. We had plenty of good field position and didn't really look like scoring more than the one try. Makes me wonder if we have actually done much ball work up to now

totally agree les,some on here should get a grip,

According to some we're a poor side without the players to do anything.
Apply some logic, and common sense and it's not that bad. We were away at the world n super league champions, who were imo as good as teams get on an opening night. Few players didn't play well uncharacteristically, lost our marque signing beforehand and have a full attacking unit ie our 1,6,7,9 and 13 getting used to each other.
Saints are 1of the favourites. Working on hull fan mentality how would we be reacting if we were as bad as saints tonight! Be a jump in suicide rates I think. Ha
