Jeez that was the ugliest of ugliest wins, we did our best to to lose that with some terrible ball retention but will take that at the end of the day.

if you consider the amount of penalties we gave away,the amount of repeat sets,and the number of times we dropped the ball as whining then you are nit picking when there are several other posters on here saying exactly the same thing.
Do you agree with the coach and his bench decisions for the last two games which include a hardly used replacement 9 and wing/centre which doesnt improve any part of our game ?
Lets have your opinion

Just enjoy the win, mate.

Maybe he has to go with whoever is available due to reasons beyond his control.

Dont get me wrong i love it when we win but its so frustrating that our discipline is getting worse as it puts so much unnecessary pressure
on our defence and with such a skinny squad it will start to take its toll on some of the players.

Defensive effort to savour wasn't it? Good to hear the praise of the pundits too for our resilience. Just 2 losses so far to Wigan (top and unbeaten in the league and obviously knocked out of the cup by ourselves) and Catalans (joint 2nd). CC semi finalists and elite academy status secured. Can't really complain thus far.

Congratulations - Yes resilience was the key to victory.
Just don't expect the same rudderless ship drifting aimlessly next week .........whoever you are playing.
Nobody can make so many mistakes and win .....unless you are playing my ramshackle team lol

Yup. Plenty if work to do but a promising start to the season.

It seems that the mods won’t let me tell you exactly how wrong I think you are.

I tend to watch the game as a Hull FC SUPPORTER. I don’t listen to bias Sky commentators saying how excellent the opposition are and disregard FC’s, once again, outstanding defence. For those who didn’t realise, it was ing down for most of that game and handling errors for both teams were crucial. Add into the mix some critical errors by officials and I think FC won? Oh and by the way Hull kept the South Stand quiet for long periods of that game, which speaks volumes to me. That’s just my opinion on a forum. Some of the posters on here, need to get over themselves or better still try coaching

For me great teams all start with top class defence heart, togetherness and passion. The fancy stuff on attack follows and we saw enough from our three tries this evening to indicate that on harder dryer grounds we will get a few tries as well. But after two or three years when all we wanted to see was the spirit and wanting back and for us to look like team that wants to play together. Just enjoy the win for heavens sake and the passion and pride we showed. We just witnessed one of the best defensive Fc displays we have seen for many a year. Yeh there is our discipline and ball retention to sort but it was battling win and we should be proud. The 'script' is now probably a gallant defeat on Friday but the Semi Final could then be a completely different matter!

Can’t fault the heart and resilience. They keep turning up for each other that’s for sure.

Fascinated to see whether we go all out on Friday or rest a few to prioritise the cup.

Not sure whether my primary emotion after that is pride in our guts and determination. Or frustration from our ridiculous ball retention and indiscipline.

Either way I think we should forget about that second half very quickly and move on to next week!

Job done. Leeds are a poor side though.

A la Wigoon

Thought Connor showed his class again when it mattered.

Looking forward to drier grounds when Reynolds can impose himself as well.

well send a private message
I am interested to know exactly how wrong my comments were in your opinion

He doesn't know how!!

I don't think watching the game on TV probably did the weather any justice. You can see from that photo and from the post match interviews just how bad it was.

Unless you were there you won't appreciate how appalling the weather was, cold, squally wind and lashing it down, in those conditions that win was immense. The whole team put in the best defensive effort I've seen in years from FC!
Oh and there were some very unhappy Whinos fans seeing B&W in the ground, who made their feelings known at the end, taxi fro Agar if they lose to Tigers next week.
Standouts for me Sneyd, Fash, Satae, Sao, Connor, Cator, Lane but to be fair it was a full squad performance, ver happy not the drive back to Pudsey.
Come On You Hull

can they get shut of that pillock with the drum,my ears are still ringing.

They had to stand in the rain, very funny seeing them getting drenched.

Some very angry Whino's fans at the end berating us for having tickets. We actually had directors box seats but didn't want the meal and hospitality so swapped them for normal seats. Great night.

To be fair I think everyone is indeed happy that we ground out a win against the old foes Leeds I don't think that's in question. What some have questioned and I find myself asking and making a note of the same things such as the thinking behind the bench selection and how it has been used the last two games, the lack of discipline resulting in giving Leeds so much possession and territory meaning we had to be very resolute in defence but against a better side we'd have been undone by that. Also the amount of work and pressure we put ourselves under is also adding to the ill discipline.

Our resolve and togetherness was outstanding and a million miles from where we have been for years which is a big plus and has been praised but on the flip side I think the observations about the negative parts are also valid, I don't think anyone has been harsh or just slagged off the performance for the sake of it,as all have been constructive.

This probably won't go down well with some on here but Bonaire seems to take a lot of flack and whilst I have not always agreed with them and at times in previous seasons thought they were sometimes overly negative, this season I have found them to be pretty positive and think their posts have been vaild and with an actual point.

Its a fans forum after all where we all come to discuss points of the game, offer opinions or vent our spleen in some cases but for some reason there are some that just chose to be confrontational because someone has dared to have an opposing view.
Now I'm no shrinking violet by any means but sometimes I wonder why we can't have decent debate and discussion on here without petty squabbles.

Anyway I thought it was a poor performance (not helped by the conditions admittedly) but one that showed as a team that when playing poorly we still dug in and ground out the win which is something we haven't seen for a long time.

Hopefully with Bowden back and a dry week with warmer/drier weather forecast for the week we will be a much better prospect for the trip to St's on Friday, plus hope to see the inclusion of Brown on the bench too.

Still not sure how Carlos held up Briscoe. What an effort.
