Credit to Radford also for interchanges today. Huge boost when he brought Sika and Ellis back on together then Taylor just afterwards. Tricky to manage as well. Thought Fonua was terrific again today, a real handful for their top drawer three quarters and worked tirelessly.

Well done today Hull. 100% desrrved to play 60minutes with a man down. Not sure what is wrong with us at the moment but since Wigan away we have been off the boil a lot. Too many mistakes.

1 point seperates the top 4 I believe at the half way point of the regular season. Should make for a fun run in.

See you back at our place. Get your tickets as soon as they come on sale as im sure it will be a sell out.

How the hell was that a red card????

Good post apart from the Watts Red card, never a sending off, if he was up right fair enough, but Watts goes to tackle him around the chest, the player tackles him and brings him down, nothing Watts could do, I'd say the same if it had happened the other way around.

Best following from cas ever seen. Didn't fancy us before game and when herd Houghton still out feared the worst so absolutely buzzing at that performance with 12 men. Thought you still looked dangerous especially when Roberts was sending those bullet passes out to our right but somehow we scrambled . Reckon you would still win alot of games playing as you did today but as last season showed when our effort and desire is 100 % it takes alot to beat us.

How did Washbrook do at 9, given that had been most people's concern when the 17 was announced?

Very solid, team were in total control until the sending off.

Think he played the 80.

Washy was tireless today.may not be a hooker but he did hell of a job there today

I doubt you made 1/2 as many mistakes as we did. Still far too many unforced errors and soft penalties

Had a fair few plays where Sneyd or Shaul stepped in at DH later on. Washy put a right shift in and tackled a lot. Was absolutely bricking it with how much they threw the ball around but our defence was absolutely brilliant.

Need Houghton back to get us going forward.

That red card decision looks worse when you view it more. Gale is laughable.

Agree, Washy was immense today but Houghton will bring back another dimension and ease the burden on the forwards. Hopefully this will be very soon.

was fearing the worse hearing no houghton but washy stepped up big time today

first 15 minutes cas' didnt know what hit them, (13 v 13 i think we could have put a big score on them , they were shellshocked) we did to them what they do to teams, hit them quick first, game changer was obviously watts sending off, never a red card, if gale was knocked out as bad as some suggest he would have been stretchered off!

Houghton was in the bar pre match and said he SHOULD be OK for next week but who knows. He also said cas are good with the ball but that we'd picked up some things they were lacking in defensively which 3 tries in quick succession pre the ending off shows the coaching staff were spot on with.

Gale's head is not far shy off Watt's waist, Watts arm is barely away from his body, shocking decision.

Great work by the coaching staff. Our ball movement was excellent in that first 20, had them stretched plenty.

Great performance by the boys today never say die attitude which as mere supporters is all we ask for, the atmosphere was buzzing which I'm sure the boys must have fed on. Onwards and upwards coyh

I doubt you'll find an FC fan (at the game), who, at the time of the sending off, despite being 18 points up, didn't think that we couldn't survive the next 58 minutes against one of the most expansive teams in the league.
That we did, is a huge credit to the team and the coaching staff.
What a fantastic perforformance.

atmosphere was top notch today,

Correct. Cas average 7 tries a game, and as the press concede this was against the odds given Watts early dismissal. What a response from the 12.

Shocking decision to send him off.

Just seen it and there was nothing wrong with it.

No doubt Powell will be spitting his dummy out like he did last year when Shenton got injured at Hull KR

To be fair to Robert Hicks, I'm not surprised he struggled today. He didn't have Luke Gale helping him for 60 minutes.

I though the game was lost in the 39 min, was a pretty soft try that aswell.

We were baying for Sneyd to go for the 1 on the preceding set, we seemed set up for it as well.
