Best part of the night was Bowden's try, brilliant side step and he got that excited he dived in short and had to bounce over the line. Great stuff.

Was also funny hearing a bloke near me telling his wife that 'the rumour is we're looking to offload Holdsworth as he has a gambling problem'.

You get a better class of rumour at the game.

Also heard tonight that Seymour had been on the sniff and was on his way to Humber Bridge.

Great tackle by mcdonnell early on when carney broke through. Thought he was just going to trample over him TBH

The game had a bit of everything tonight. Thought we fought hard in the first half to work them over, then let loose with some decent attacking play in the second half. Good defence throughout, though Cas offered very little in attack. Was hilarious to see Chase bomb a certain try by being greedy. Every time I see the nasty little turd play it makes me glad he's not a Hull player. Enjoyed the dust up, but think yellows would have been sufficient for both of those who saw red. Goes without saying that we need to keep Holdsworth fit if we're to stand any chance of improving on last season.

A good night's work overall, but must be backed up with an equal or better showing next week.

Well done lads great game,

As a neutral attending the game, I have to say how much I enjoyed it. I thought Hulls defensive line was superb and totally snuffed out Chase. The kicking game was excellent and created tries. Great to have a chat with Johnny Whiteley after the game

Better performance but wont mean anything if we dont back it up next week, Good to have watts and holdsworth back

Wow...

Cheers every1 for the messages all good hear just rib cartilage popped out. #notserious #oldfaithfull

Good News considering they thought he may have a couple of broken ribs.

Well done PG perfect tactics from the off in the conditions and in DJ you've got a player who can carry them out. You passed your test well

Good performance, but perhaps not quite as good as the scoreline suggests as Cas gifted us a couple. Don't think you can say any Hull player played badly, although there were maybe a handful who were still a bit mixed (e.g. Yeaman, Lynch). Some also seemed to start a little slowly but then had really good games the longer the game went on (Westerman, Briscoe, and particularly Horne, who I thought had an excellent 2nd half). Galea's best game for us IMO, although I do still think his gametime needs to be managed better. Looked like he was really blowing for the last 10 of the first half to me. Thought Watts looked in really good condition for his first game back.

The most pleasing thing for me was that we showed more patience with the ball and actually built pressure instead trying to score on every tackle. Still a few occasions where we were guilty of trying too hard and turned over possession, but a vast improvement in this area.

Has there been any mention of Johnson and Pitts and why they were the ones to make way? Was it just tactical? I can't remember seeing them in the warm up, but strangely Chris Green was there despite not being in the 19. Wondered if one of them had dropped out injured or anything.

Jason Crookes has a job on to get back in the side.

word was that if Ben Crooks was fit he would have played and it wouldnt have been Arundel missing out

good post mate i saw Chris green and Jason Crookes both out there in the warm up don't no if anyone else spotted him? i think it will be hard to drop lineham but Crookes was playing well before the injury id say just swap them both to keep them fresh every now and again good to have that depth in the wings though!

Oh, and also: Welcome back the real Danny Houghton, we've missed you for a few games.

Well on tonight's performance I think it would be hard to disagree if that happened next week.

Agree with the patience bit. Thought lynch went well personally and more so 2nd spell.
Thought watts looked really trim but 1st impressions are he's not lost anything though. Strong 1st game back.
Decent enough performance, should keep the drama queens at bay for the week at least. Ha

Thought Lynch started the second half badly/sloppily but recovered. Still not up to last year's standard IMO.

When tickle started fighting i though (i could be wrong) he got caught with a high tackle, a few did go by the way side for both teams... Now for me if ganson had blown for it it then none of that would have happened? Maybe im wrong just how i saw it. Besides, good effort from everyone tonight, nothing to get too excited by but i was more impressed with the work rate. Most fans dont care too much about winning or losing, they just want to see the team trying their best. Think they did tonight.

Well done

Can't argue against that scoreline even though Cas were $h17 . Much better test next week to see were we are.

We could have won by more! Heremaia almost through. Yeaman should have got a penalty try. If that wasn't at least a penalty for the shove off the ball in a certain try-scoring position, then it should have been a scrum because Cas knocked on and we didn't get advantage (under the new rules). Tom Briscoe made an outstanding run as well.

Thinking about it, I may get this game on DVD. Loads of highlights!

While I'd have no gripes with that, in fact I actually think Crooks offers a good deal more than Yeaman, Yeaman and Briscoe have not exactly had a great deal of good service lately. We seem to be predominantly attacking down the right edge at the moment.

Was a strange game for me. At times in the 1st half we really struggled to make much ground with ball in hand and looked a bit bereft of ideas at times but were saved by holdsworth's excellent kicking game (How we've missed a player who can kick like that since cooke left) and a cas winger who couldn't catch.

When watts and heremia came on we suddenly transformed (may have been down to cas' heads dropping) and looked like a completely different team.

2nd half we just overwhelmed them and were obviously more confident with the ball.

Defence was good for the most part all game

Fantastic to nil a side in Super League.
Great to see Watts and Bowden in, I think they both have huge potential.
Pleased for Arundel, and somewhat relieved!

Must watch a different match to everyone else,I personally thought Yeaman had a good game,ran the ball in strongly,making very good metres (he & Briscoe didn't get much ball) and had Shenton in his back pocket all night.

P.S. For anybody to suggest Gentle would of dropped Yeaman for Crookes instead of Arundal must be barking MAD,Arundal is so far behind Yeaman its scary, in fact,Crookes is miles in front of him.
