Can't back against us and 365 were generous enough to give us a head start which we didn't require.


Great to see the skipper back and tearing in at full rev.

Best Hull performance I've seen in a long time. Totally dominant against one of the biggest sides in the comp and at one of the toughest grounds to play on. Could have been a lot more convincing with 2 close calls from the VR and also a couple of bombed chances earlier on.

80 points and 15 tries in 2 games is beyond anyone's wildest expectations and long may it continue

Am I missing something here? Right decision on both occasions....believe me....you been thick doesn't go anywhere near p1ssing me off...the number 1 added for effect...

Love it
I think there is a real bond with these players and Big Franks smile puts a smile on all our faces.
Great to see Gaz Ellis back today.Feel a bit sorry for Chris Green but he will be back no doubt.
For those who didnt see the match keep an eye on the Catalan website as they post highlights within a few hours after a game.

It was good to see Ellis back, had some good input into the game. Missed a few tackles and looked a bit rusty in parts but its his first hit out so we'll let him off

Yep , Possibly .

You lot looked very good tonight. Excellent pack, left side superb, and Sneyd was top class. Hope Ellis can stay fit for the season.

Good luck for the rest of the year (from a Leigh fan)

Thanks mate. Its difficult not to get too overexcited, but its really great to see the team playing with passion. Hope to see you pushing the SL teams in the super 8s this year. All the best.

what a difference a year makes, new pack, new centre/wing partnerships and a settled 6 and 7

80 points in two games that took us 5 games to reach last season!

Absolutely, the balance accross the field means teams are fully aware of the threat we pose but stopping it is a different matter, that's what Pritchard brings you, attracting defenders, then minichiello on the right edge was sensational. Ellis footwork in the middle was crucial to quick ptb, also congratulations to shaul too and I hope that Talanoa is ok as he looked to have picked up a few knocks and seemed to be struggling a little. We now welcome the week off

Doubt anyone will be big enough and apologise, especially if they listens to what radders said !

You owe that poor bloke an apology

Wish I could play rugby and kick goals like that with my bad back.

Dave Taylor gave his (supposedly bad) back a good test!

Took us 6 games to score 80 points last season

catalan home game i believe

Not on my TV

Welcome back bud. Where did you disappear to last season?

Massive well done you look to have a really balanced side look very strong good luck for the year wires fan

Much improved without westerman and lineham

I called it if I do say so myself ha. Said I fancied carlos in a joel moon kinda mould. A half who will make his name as a centre. He looks just like moon if not better on his feet
Just wanted to give a special mention to Gaz Ellis. Vs rovers when he hit the dirt I said straight away that's him done. Thought it would finish him. But tonight he just went as if he'd never been out and between him and frank swung the match our way! Leader of men. A Machine. Legend of the game whom I'm glad to have seen wear my teams colours

All I can say is

Fantastic. Really, really chuffed with that performance.

Bigger tests to come, but not many will go to Catalans and get two points

With regards the disallowed try, I though Shaul's was really close, would have liked to see a camera angle that looked straight down the touchline. The second one was the right call though, pretty sure his toe scraped the line.

Some massive performances across the board. I've liked Talanoa since he made his debut, but with some good service and a classy centre he has gone to a new level. Tuimavave was great again, just a shame he was too casual with that pass to Shaul. I also thought that despite conceding a couple of tries down his side Michaels did really well and proved a capable deputy.

Sneyd and Pryce bossed it. If that is Sneyd with a bad back then he's going to terrorise defences when hes 100%. All of front row were excellent again, and credit to Minichiello. I said that he was quiet last week and I would have brought in Ellis for him. I stand by that, but I thought he was really good tonight. Green will get plenty more chances, but I think that is probably our best pack and injuries aside thats what I'd go with against Cas.

Final word to the captain. Not the best game I've ever seen him play, but first game back after so long out with a bad injury, that was pretty impressive. I expected him to play maybe 20 minutes and plod around a bit trying to get up to speed, but he made a real impact. Proper pro.

Actually tipped both you and Warrington to do well this year and there's no reason why one of you cannot win a trophy or two. Great pack and some good backs. Sneyd looks good with the only weak link in Pryce for me. Maybe it's a Bradford Bulls thing for me.

Well played Hull. I can't remember if ever in recent years the last time a side won so convincingly at Catalan. With Salford stuffing stains it makes your round one win even more impressive. Looks like it could be an exciting year for guys and you should be right up there contesting for honours.
