24:4 Half time. Owen has a brace.

cheers

I wonfer if the Oracle will be on later eating humble pie over his stupid comments earlier in the week regards Owen.

Currently 46-10 to us with 3 mins left to play.

FT 46-10.

Just got in from work, so obviously couldn't get to the game, how did we play ??

We played well, although it was a very understrength Hull team who left out about a dozen or so regulars and Ellis obviously waan't fit and only played the first 20. But you can only play whats in front of you and we'll gain some confidence from it even if we didn't learn a great deal. My one worry is, after games against understrength Leeda and Hull teams and a very average Fev side, that we could be a little under done come the first game.

Is Michael Simon ok? He got a big hit at Leeds and was taken off groggy and apparently the same happened today against Hull?

Cheers Boyem...just had a quick look on the Hull forum and they are not happy with Radford and the team he put out !

Have just seen the above re-Simon, how did we go injury-wise ??

Simon is fine. He came back on in the second half.

Ha ha you for real. Stupid comments = justified comments. Hope he read them and plays well from here on in.

Hull FC team for today's game: Naughton Lineham Arundel Logan Lancaster Abdull Sneyd Bowden Cunningham Ellis Hadley Thompson: Interchanges Paleaaesina BTW HTW Whiting Howart Turgut Downs Fash Shaul Smith

leaves a bitter taste in our mouth when you have nothing to whine about doesn't it

Owen had a cracking game today, score two great tries and was solid in defence even though for most of the first half hull decided to hit that side, the 2 scores they got followed Eros and were down the opposite wing, his body language was better too hope he takes that in to our next game

either we made Hull look pretty poor or they had no intentions of making a game of it today, I'd be very worried If I was a Hull fan if that's going to be their best

I noticed that we improved with the introduction of Sammut.

My sentiments excactly Snowie,they had enough quality on paper on the park so this under strength team doesn't cut it for me.They were outplayed in every department and the score could've been really embarrassing for Hull,so yes,I'd be very worried if I was a cod head.Well played Wakey to every squad member

Though Hull had a few first teamers out I was pleased to see that when we had the ball and made a break we had a players backing the man with the ball up.Owens first try was well read by timmy who could see they were laking numbers that side and made sure everyone knew what he wanted from the scrum on to the ball like a flash and threw the long pass to Owen but it still had to be scored.Yes it was a friendly but was encouraged by the fact we threw the ball about and backed the man up if we can play that way throughout the season we wont go far wrong.

It seems to work well switching the dynamics of the playmakers in last 20 With Sammut last 2 weeks.

The headache there will be how do you get him and Godinet both on the bench.

Starting with 3 props was a master stroke today and hull were well and truly bossed.

All played well really.hard decisions for Webster.

Annakin was very strong today too was good to see.

Special mention to Owen today. I don't think a lot of the flak has been justified in his direction. Made some good runs, few half breaks, strong in defence and finished well. More of the same please.

Realistically there will be no more than 6 of that team in the 17 when we play Huddersfield, and Ellis was only in as a token gesture on his testimonial. So given you were almost full strength I would have expected you to win quite comfortably. That said if we get injuries some of those boys will have to step up, and there were a handful of experienced guys in there, so it is a little worrying that you rolled us so easily.

I can see why we rested a lot, and I called it on this forum earlier in the week (I didn't think we would field quite this weak a side though). But it just makes the game seem like a bit of a waste of time. Ellis gets shortchanged, fans get shortchanged, we take a good beating which, regardless of personnel, is never good for confidence, and you could have done with more of a test aswell.

Fair play to Owen I've been critical of him but he played well today, showed what he was capable and made a cracking tackle in the second half. On current form I'd have him and Johnstone on the wings. Hopefully with those two and Riley competing for 2 places they'll keep pushing each other to play to their best.

Also thought annakin came on well and made a big impact his carrying and offloading game was impressive, would be in the 17 for me as well.

I think the lack of first teamers has given our lads that opportunity to try a few things out which worked very well, bit sad that it only pulled a 2.2 K crowd for a player that did a lot for us when he was here

A side to Gareth Ellis, my dad got a testimonial brouchure off him after the game, priced at £3 but my dad was going to give him a fiver . Gareth told him to keep his money , the brouchure and wouldn't take the money off my dad. I have always admired Gareth who is by no means a prima doña ! Moved to Leeds for less money that he was offered by Wakefield !. Such a shame he felt he had to leave to better himself, which you can't blame him for but it still grinds that he could have been the next Nigel bell or billy Conway and had a full testimonial at Wakefield but would he have achieved what he has done in the game? No of course not.. So cheers Gareth thanks for the memories and if anyone deserves a testimonial you do

Stand outs for me were Annakin, Godinet and Owen. The score flattered Hull due to Hall having on off day with the conversions.

If my Dad was still alive he would have offered Ellis at least £6 for the programme.
