Just finished watching the GB game and what a performance from the Tongans - with the signings we have made for our forwards I would love to see FC play half as well, just goes to show 5 drives and a kick can work.

The referee's indecision is final:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3738.gif



Their try before halftime was a little bit more than that. Don't forget the offloads, that's the core of their forward game

All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason. -[i:1c45x4hd]Emmitt Smith[/i:1c45x4hd]:



Where the hell was our kicking game? Couldn’t believe we were trying to outmuscle probably the biggest team in the world. No point in two running halves when your forwards are never gonna find an offload.

With some of the players coming in who can offload i just hope Radford doesnt stifle their natural play for the sake of the odd mistake that sometimes happens when trying to offload.
Its so important now to create space from offloads particularly against a good defensive team.
If Shaul stays attentive and doesnt lose concentration like he does he and Albo could really benefit next season.

Salford did the same and it got them to the Grand Final with record crowds along the way...

Winning games brings back the crowds, doesn’t matter what style of rugby.

Also if our drives are even half exciting as Tonga’s where today then we are in for a treat in my opinion.

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8082.jpg

Thought Tonga were very good to be honest, quick physical and great handling with some great running too. Ma’u looked very good and fantastic offload.
Thought GB were poor though and the selection of some players and were some where played was for me the downfall.
If Hull FC can play next season with the speed and aggression for 80mins like Tonga did today then I won’t complain.

Andit's an opinion you are entitled to, I thought it was a rubbish game to watch, all the skills is going away from the game (other than the NRL)

I'm pretty sure I want watching 5 drives and a kick from Salford in the playoffs. I saw plenty of offloads and shedding lives ran by players that were well coached.

Neither of the Tongan tries can't from 5 drives and a kick. One was from a GB error being capitalised on quickly, the other was from freakish offloading and creating opportunity.

5 drives and a kick doesn't win you games.

Personally think you will be the dark horse of the comp next year with your signings.
As long as Radford plays them to their strengths and doesn`t stifle their style you will easily be top 4 with Wigan the team to beat next year.

I disagree, saints will be the team to beat again by a long way in my opinion. We should hopefully be pushing for 2nd 3rd, I’d be happy making the play offs and playing more consistently, without the complete tte we see every other week. Think most fans can get behind a team putting near 100% in week in week out, win or lose.
