Salford deserve some credit FWIW. Chase was excellent and they were much tougher in the forwards than I expected given their absentee list. But simply not good enough to be losing this type of game.

Radford rightly questioning the two team warnings for Salford with no follow-up sin-binning. But they were good value for their win, no complaints.

Hard to be any other than extremely disappointed after that. Considering our efforts in defence so far our concentration and workrate in defence was nil. Chase produced some moments of real magic on our line, when he plays like that they will score points against any team, but the disappointing thing was the amount of quick play the balls we allowed. Tommy Lee ran us ragged in the first 10 minutes purely because we weren't winning the wrestle. They shouldn't have had the field position for Chase to be able to do what he did. Their second to last try was pathetic. Chase had a free play and 2 or 3 of our players literally turned their back on him as he ran through our line.

In attack we looked pretty good at times, Rankin went well, Mini was a threat and Thompson scored a couple of excellent solo tries. Neither Sneyd or Pryce were brilliant but they linked well at times. Yeaman offered absolutely nothing. We may aswell have sat him on the bench in attack and just bring him in to defend.

I expect a big response and an improvement against Leeds, but until we start turning up to these kind of games with the right attitude we are just going nowhere.

Radio Humberside full of praise at hull fc's performance against injury hit Salford. Radford blames mind boggling officiating for the defeat and the fact Rangi Chase wasn't marshalled better. Picks Thomson as hull MOTM and says only serious injury appears to be Whiting's hand. RH reckons a few of the Radford out texts / tweets were undeserved.

Did he??

There are no easy games this season as tonight has proven on there day any team can beat anyone let's hope we can scrape through more than we let slip.

That's bollox, Saints put 50 past them and they (Salford) had arguably a better team, we have no excuses at all tonight..none. We should have dominated this game but yet again failed to get up for it and the first 10 minutes made a huge difference...
Hate to say it but Lineham has being a shadow of himself since coming back from injury.

Very disappointing result! how can we go from conceding 7 points in 2 games to 32 in one night?! same old inconsistency.

A lot of people on here said wire would beat Catalan (and that included you knocker after just reading your post in the round three predictions) and they got 38 put past them

Lets not all worry . It's only Leeds on Thursday!!

Chase was quality, unplayable at times, his pass and juggle for their second try in the second half was undefendable

Who was Hull's best player tonight.

Seems to me we went in with the wrong attitude. Drop the ball on our first set and we're 10 nil down before we touch the ball agin. Poor mental preparation yet again

Both Jordans.

Its just so disappointing.
Whilst I think there are improvements we still struggle to break teams down in the opposition 20 ball in hand.Indicipline and errors have again cost us the game.
How many more times will we give the ball away from the kick off after scoring a try?
Chase,Pace,indicipline and errors cost us the match.
We have to get some pace into this team,and find a position for Rankin if Shaul is fit and preferred at full back.
Westerman has to start and up his game otherwise I can see Jordan Abdul taking his place and Yeaman really is on borrowed time.He did nothing in this match.
I think Radford also got his bench wrong with too much thought on the Leeds match.He should have included Feka because neither Green or Bowden have any effect going forward and Cunningham should have been left for the Leeds game.
No doubt Feka and I think Bowden will also come back for the Leeds match at the expense of Green and if Shaul is fit Rankin will be on the bench.
Sa seems to be injured again so its a good thing Micheals is still available for selection.If he wasn't injured I would replace Yeaman with Michaels.
Fingers crossed Ellis may be available.

Some good points in there. Centre is an issue for us, certainly. Yeaman's had a very good career doesn't look like a Super League centre right now. I'd put Shaul at FB and stick Rankin in the centres. Sa and Whiting injured, not sure what's going on with Michaels. Still, only Moon and Watkins in 5 days.

If available we should play Michaels, not only does it give us some much needed pace but it'll show the player that the club/coach are backing him until such a time as it's obvious he has to leave..

We got annihilated around the ruck in the first 20 mins and that cost us the game. Some of our defenders in that area were still on the bus. Defence cost us this game - you'll rarely win a SL game by conceding 32 points. Some shocking one on one efforts throughout the game. Hats off to Jordan Thompson and Leon Pryce who were superb for us.

at least this should stop the arrogance of fans that there are any easy points in SL

Another winnable game ends in another narrow defeat.

We were unlucky in that Chase was on fire and next week he'll probably be cack again.

I think Feka should replace Green or Bowden and Michaels should be in for Yeaman.

We may need michaels to replace sa who went off again

Just got in from work but knew this would happen. Bench was far far to light - Greens turd and why isnt Feka getting a game?

Now after this preformance im left with a choice (and its a choice lots will be making) - do i spend £100+ taking the wife and kids (aged 6+icon_cool.gif to the Leeds game which will most likely end in an admirable defeat but will mean my kids being knackered for school in morning and me £100 lighter or do i stay at home and watch in on Sky and get the kids to bed at a reasonable hour?

I think you've summed up Salfords season in a nut shell there, it could all depend on which Rangi Chase turns up on the day.

I would've got rid of Yeaman and kept Arundal and Ben Crooks.

Just seen the try that chase set up with his great passes and there was still an opportunity to tackle Chase before he got the ball away. So all this unstoppable stuff I have read on twitter is rubbish. Again we sat off Chase and let him play, we should have hammered him from the off.

Mrs B, Team warnings expire if the team put on a warning don't offend for a period. The period being at the discretion of the referee. The first warning was totally justified as Salford were habitually offending to slow the game down. After that there were no offences from Salford for about 10 minutes. Thus the first warning had expired and back to normality (If you can have that with Roby!).
I questioned the second team warning as Salford had only give one penalty away and got a team warning. I didn't think at the time the second warning was justified.
I think Mr Radford should question the number of penalties Hull were given as opposed to Salford. I think he'll find that the Hull team weren't short changed by Roby at all/
FWIW I thought Roby's performance last night was one of the worst I've seen in 40+ years of watching.
