When was the last time we scored a try like that? From 80 metres, Player pushing his nose through, getting an arm free, off loading and 2 or 3 players in support.
I can't remember one in the last 2 years!

I saw a fair few things last night that I have not seen in the last 2 years

I said exactly that to my mate

Yes it was great link up play between Tansey? Horne and Long. Just what you want down the middle of the pitch. super try.

Said to my mate that the main difference was that when we made the break that the player actually had players around him to pass to

can anyone remember when we scored from our own half twice in a game nevermind just once!!

Shame Hall couldn't get clear and make it 3.

What you couldn't see on the telly was how Long "ordered" that try.

He came over to us and lifted his hands in a "Sing Now" gesture.

Every Hull fan in the stand immediately belted out the "Walking in a Longy Wonderland" chant - you can hear it on the footage - and 20 seconds later he was diving over the line.

Surreal.

Quins (H) last year. Both of Hall's tries where from our half IIRC.

The occasion was destined to be Long's night. I was impressed by his work rate, he did his fair share graft in all areas. Last night was a clear demonstration of what the bloke is capable of and with some tubthumping forwards building a platform, I hope to see much more.

That try had the Saints of old written all over it. Longy's influence is immense in all areas.

Longy always has put his shift in in defence during his career. His tackle just on half time which together with Yeamo prevented them scoring was a big moment in the match for us. 12-0 and 12-6 are a world apart going in to the HT cuppa. That tackle alone was the reason I gave him MOM over Fitzy who was also awesome.

Great offload by Tickle to Tansey.

Couldnt make the trip last night (for 'reasons')......So popped in Punch Bowl to see the BIG screen (its huge!!!!!!) Anyway, there I was surrounded by a mostly red and white crowd.......They were having the odd dig here and there, and when we got our noses ahead some were even suggesting that the only reason the game had gone ahead (fog) was because sky will have insisted and it should've been abandoned LOL
THEN..........Longey scored......Even the 'reds' were nodding approvement and saying what a great try it was.....And it was!!!! They were clapping again when Tom Briscoe got away from the tacklers....with one boot on LoL. Hence to say, I left that place with a lot of pride and a spring in my step!!!!

We enjoyed the Fish and Chips from the Chippy near the Ground after the game ..The Carpark cleared by the time we set off ..We BIG

s on our faces

It was a good try, Dobson scored an exact replica of it today. I'd guess it bodes well for both sides

And i bet Fox ran 100yds with no boots on as well

No mate fell over the line from a yard out for one of them, all count the same though




Shame it was foggy, as both Long and Briscoes trys would have been a joy to see properly.

All the 5 tries were a joy to see against Saints ..Hull must have been good for the Saints fans to boo their team

There look better second time round on Sky Plus

Hull where excellent last night, and Long certainly lokked brill, i don't think the same thing will happen this season with the 5 wins and they screw it, good team, wont lie. Hey you may even be in with a chance of winning a meaningful derby this year

It was fantastic!!

We were just happy to be at the game after the wheels on our minibus decided to fall off 15 minutes from the ground!

Me and a couple of mates went round to the other end at half time (had to hide our colours and sneek past the stewards). We were stood about 5 yeards from where Longy dived over! It was a surreal try, first we heard the roar from you lot as we made the break, then we were looking accross the pitch as we had no idea where the break was made, and before we know it, about four Hull players emerge from the fog, pass it between them with Longy finishing it off. Class.
