thoughts ?i for one think the team get enough stick (alot warranted)just feel on the second half performance they deserve a bit of praise

Yeah they do, they should play like that every game, if they did I feel we would win far more than we lost.
Can't wait for the trolls to say Leeds weren't at there best.

totally agree with that yes if we played more like that we would win more

At 36-12 it was game over. Leeds' contact in the tackle was poor throughout the game and it was no surprise to see them concede so many points when starved of posession. That said i didn't ever see them losing.

Hull did very well to make a game of it though it is fair to say they chanced their arm a little.

Credit where its due (everyone gasp in amazement, this coming from a robin), I thought it was all over and vanessa feltz had picked up the microphone but your guys dug in and got momentum and had them on the rack, hence the drop goal.

I reckon if that kick off hadn't bounced out and given leeds the scrum from the kickoff you might have just pipped em as you had all the momentum and they were giving loads of penalties away.

Thats it, no digs or anything, even tho i'm a rovers fan, i'm a rugby league fan too.



wait for all the others to 'troll' and spout on about who's dad is bigger but i just replied to the thread.

as an hullfc fan thats all i ask for them to take some chances

As a neutral, I agree with you. Your guys played out of their skins in the second half and with real creativity too. They played very well and put Leeds on the back foot. Pit about that missed try scoring opportunity - was it Raynor or your other wing when they couldn't catch the ball? The line was begging anyway. Had that come off then I don't think you would have lost as you would have been too close to let it go.

Damn shame you lost, and that two more of your players went down with injuries. I hope they aren't serious. But if your lads play like that next from the outset in their next game then they will win it.

Very, very pleased with that effort tonight. Tony, Calderwood, Byrne, Dowes, Cusack, Washbrook, Briscoe, Lauaki all out. Lost R Horne and Thackray early on. Several dodgy decisions going against us. Great game and certainly the most entertaining for ages. Top atmosphere as well and credit to Leeds for bringing a good vocal following.

Big thanks to Richard Whiting as well. Loving that "taking the ball cleanly on the full" novelty.

if they hadn't scored 2 tries off their usual forward passes..and that try would have stood (which there was naff all wrong with) what tosspot thaler dissalowed..you could have won..

Its easy to give the ball some air when your 20 odd points down and the opposition have taken their foot off the gas.Rallied well but still way off the top 8 IMO

It'a also easy to capitulate and get thumped - didn't happen

A very encouraging second half from Hull, to fight back like that was great to see, as was the back slapping and general enthusiasm.

We just need to convert this to an 80 minute display.

Nah......We need our 'second half fightback' in the first half......and then just play carefully (like Quinns do

) in the second half......defend to death and only take chances when its actually worth it! This way......we will win at Old Trafford. We saw tonight.....with almost half the first team injured....What we can do whe it starts to come together!

Very pleased with tonights effort....9/10

didnt see the first half as i was busy but on watching the second half i was a little disheartened by the scoreline and thought we would never get back into it......but boy did they give leeds summat to think about..houghton his outstanding break,raynors awesome try,yeaman giving 110%,whiting @ fb i was amazed at his quality,moa just unstoppable,berro foooooking class,tickle back to his kicking best,kingy and radders putting some effort in also...............could this be the change of confidence this team needs??? i damn well hope so.

I'd be questioning why they haven't tried like that before! You're being short-changed IMHO.

That was the most entertaining we've been all season, considering we were playing with only berrigan as a pivot. Hopefully with a few more signings still to come next season things may be looking up for once.

Congratulations Hull F.C for a much improved performance!
The team played with much more spirit; we showed much more attacking flair; and our defence was much improved. Despite at least two xxap decisions from Mr Smith and his linesmen in the first half, and the two injuries, we really took it to Leeds in the second half.
The Hull crowd also showd their true passion and feeling tonight, so well done from this armchair supporter!
F.C and proud

much improved 2nd half

but we can't ignore the fact that this side can't play for 80mins, the game reminded me of the derby, in that we turned up with 30mins to go but we were already too far behind.

I would just like to add that from a neutrals point of view you can be very proud of your lads second half performance with only 15 fit players - down 30-12 at home to the champions and to show the effort, desire and determination to get back in is a really credit to your teams character.

Leeds stepped off the gas and Hull found some desire.

bollox. leeds thought they were coasting and shat themselves when we came back at them,

Are arent sure you know what you are talking about to be honest?

I dont think i have ever seen the Champions shat themselves but cleary the thought of playing high flying Hull triggered that emotion.

even the sky commentators said leeds were looking worried and nervous with hull coming back,
lets face it we gave you a better game than you all previously thought

Must be true then!!

Quick.... A rare spotted flying fooking idiot...
