Seemed a very empty ground? Cas beat the rabble without getting out of 2nd gear. Houghton claiming moral victory after that? Only 4 players missing from starting 13

Hull FC have no more or less injuries than other teams over the season .Pedalling a lie

Eddie Hemmings & Co were getting a little carried away with Hull scoring 8 points. It was pathetic, they didn't have 13 academy players out there. Cas had won the game after 50 minutes, then took their foot off the gas....so to speak.

Griffin, Connor, Kelly, Sneyd, Bowden, Mini and Westy would all start in my 13

Green and Paea on the bench, so 7 starting missing and 2 subs,

9/17 out.

It's what it is though, got to play with the hand dealt, a lot better effort and good to see some attacking play for once, it's been a while.

Cas look good in parts, need to improve there discipline, better teams would have punished them tonight. Truman is going to be a star, top quality player

9 from 17 looks a bit creative but id say Leeds Cas Widnes Huddersfield KR Wigan have all had similar if not worse injury problems throughout season. Between local media and Sky you would think only hull had any ? But it is what it is and SL safety is secure so 8 losses or 11 don't really matter

Had the exact same injury problems all year, I remember Darryl saying we needed to adopt your steel in the face of injuries earlier this year. Today hull were at bare bones but other clubs have had it tough alll year .... Hull are looking for excuses..... we were told you had a squad capable of challenging for the GF but you haven’t.... Cas have played 75 percent of the season without our 6 and 7.(last year’s man of steel and by a country mile the best playmaker in the league) your meant to win games not arguments on injuries. Hull have the resources to make sure they should never be as poor as tonight, it’s just they would rather pay important salary cap space to pay the likes off Albert ‘self destruct’ Kelly to get p|#seed and Coca colad (sorry ‘concussion’...... and has already showed zero honor with regards to hull kr but last year even though he was regarded as the second coming of Christ and the best 6 ever seen in SL by Hull fans when he proved himself unreliable all along when at HKR) rather than astute signings (matuatia, qlt....WATTS) added to star prospects like trueman and turner..... The injury whining is a joke.

No sympathy

Nobody is after sympathy, but the fact is injuries are the major reason we are struggling, we had 9 players out last night, plus our 4th choice halfback out, I doubt we would have won the GF or even a top 4 finish anyway, losing 3 big players hasn't helped who haven't really been replaced.

Thanks for the recruitment tips, but looking at the club's respective recent success I'll back my club to get it right, Maybe once you have won a major then maybe you can start bragging how good your recruitment is. I actually hope Cas do win something soon, but I'm still not sure they have want it takes mentally to beat Wigan or Saints in a big game, I think last was your best chance, but your star player let you down (and you have a go at Kelly)

We had 11 out at Warrington. 11 of our first 17.

We won.

Just saying....

Doesn’t matter Hull have had more injuries than the rest of SL put together or so they’d led you to believe when the real reason is Radford has only got one way of playing and if you haven’t got the pack to do it this is what you get

Great well done, no one is saying you can't win the odd game with players out, we have more problems than just injuries, but they have played a massive part in our season this year, like other teams as well. We have injuries, lost key players from last season, low on confidence and playing for nothing more than pride.

With such amazing recruitment, coach and squad you would really expect Cas to win the GF this year.

Hull are terrible

To be fair we got a couple of stuffings as well when we were down on troops.


Catalan mullered us. Huddersfield dispatched of us darn the lane and Kr really should have done too.

I think we've done well to make the 4 with how many players we've had missing at various stages. However I think we are the weakest of the 4 based on overall ability this season. That said so what ! 1 game from OT gotta be in it to win it.

Well done to all the pundits on here, especially those who's own team is trying (once again) to avoid falling into the championship.

That's a better and more balanced post, I think you have done well this, probably better than last year with the injuries and loss of your best player.

I really hope you win it, but as you say, it's going to be tough.

If I was a Hull fan I’d be looking at recruitment rather than the injury list.
As as already been said, Cas have suffered with injuries this year. However, when we have been well down on troops we’ve had solid, reliable players come into the squad. We’ve had far more players turn out for us this year than in 2017, but we’re still in with s shout. There was nothing to stop Hull signing the likes of Ellis, Clare and Clarke but they chose to spend big on fewer player rather than build a squad with decent depth.
83% of Hull’s salary cap is tied up in 17 players. That’s the mis-management that’s led to Hull’s problems this season,

Well done on only losing by 20. Top 4 team my arris

Did anyone say we were. However, we are guaranteed to be in Superleague next season, are you?

I'd be shocked if most of the top sides aren't the same, bet saints and Wigan have similar percentage of salary cap. We had injuries earlier in thecsesdon but still won games, eventually it's told though and once the chance of the 4 went so did our desire and confidence.

It's been disapointted, but after the last two years I can take this, it's how we ready next year and I'm confident Pearson will and Radford will get us back on track

Yes actually they did.Common quote on your page. 7000 fans last night with a healthy turn out from Cas hmm. Look don't get your panties in a twist,like you say 8th is worst that can happen

Why would I? As you say the worst we can finish is 8th so I'm laid back about this season. Get all our troops back next year, hopefully stay relatively injury free and we should be fine. I do take your point about the attendance last night, announced as 10500. We had a good laugh at that.

I see Craig caught a bite here.

Personally don't think we've coped too bad this year with our injuries. Up until a month or so ago we was sat in 5th still in with a shot of top 4, and that's with having at least 3/4 players out most weeks (often more). Contrast our year with Leeds. They have also suffered with injuries and they couldn't even manage top 8, so our overall squad has shown up a hell of a lot better than theirs.
We've been lucky with injuries the last 2 year's, unfortunately not this year, but that's contact sport for you. 3 games to go, potential 3 more hammerings coming up, but roll on next year.

Everyone and I mean everyone on here shot down Wigan fans when they brought up injury excuses in 2016.

Poor game last night. Cas didn't seem particularly motivated, whistle happy ref, Hull garbage.

Sooner these super 8s are sacked off the better.

Yeah and you forgot to mention injuries as well.
