ive got hopes that Seymour will silence his critics this season, but he'll need to improve in a couple of areas.

31st in the league for try assists with only 12 (not good enough for top 4)
9th for missed tackles with 59 (2nd worst for hull fc last season only manu missed more)

judging the poop being played tonight by city the pitch should be immaculate tomorrow!

How is a "try assist" defined? Think to be fair to Seymour he was implicated in a fair few trys last season. Passing is his biggest asset, and he may well have produced passes that put us in a position to score a try (e.g. from memory Tony Martin try at Magic) without being the person to directly deliver the pass to the tryscorer.

No doubt he needs to miss less tackles though. He is no Chris Thorman as he is quite prepared to put his shoulder in, trouble is he seems to let them slip on through.

I'm not overly concerned about his mis-tackles as when is a half brought in to be a tackling machine? Yes it would be nice to have a top tackler, but tbh I think he's actually one of the better defending halves in the league. Has good technique too.
Like has already been said, Seymour may not have made the 'final' pass for a try to be awarded the assist so it's not a clear indication of his input imo.

really looking forward to it, won't believe Gaz Ellis is really a Hull player until I see it with my own eyes!

what i do read as a clear indication is that the likes of Dobson, Chase, Brough and Dureau (the best most effective half backs) all have more than double the assists. try assists are a by product of being a productive half back.

Can't wait to get there today - setting off on another errand now but should be back to catch the start.

I know the game will be disjointed and probably not live up to my vastly unreasonable expectations but I'm going to watch some Rugby League with my team playing it at long last!!! Come on Mr Gentle, be the one!

Anyone know how much it is on the gate?

£12 Adults £6 Kids

Will wait til next week to see a game,will get a better idea of how the team will be shaping up unlike today where it will be 2 teams.

I was thinking like that. But today is about Yeamo and he's earned my support so I'm going along. He's been a great servant to the club.

Agree about the Yeamo bit but just want to see a better game and it may be nxt week

Just noticed this on the Hull website hullfc.com/article/23499/accessi ... m-tomorrow Bit confusing I thought it was pay on the gate unless you have to go the ticket office and purchase a ticket to be able to gain entry

i dreamt last night that Ellis scored a try, it was a little scoot from dummy half. a metre from the defences try line.

Hi does anybody know if the game has Radio Commentary for those of us that cannot get to the game? (I've looked on the Humberside Website & it appears their not covering it !!)

Thanks,

Perry

You need to get out more

Perry. Don't think there is radio coverage for this one. Will by next week for the Rovers game apparently.

Can't get to the game today. I doubt it will be but does anyone know if it's on radio?
Never mind just seen the last post.

Many thanks Anijay. Will jsut have to hope for updates on here

Really young staring line up. Horne 6 Seymour 7

FC 0 Cas 6

Jake Webster try Dixon goal

FC 4 Cas 6

Ben Crooks continues with the fine start he made to his Hull FC career last season with a try today. Seymour placed a lovely kick to the corner and Crooks beats Webster to the ball to score. He fails to add the extras to his own try. FC 4-6 Cas.
