Yea funny old game. But the lads stood up well. Played some decent rugby to. Nice to get a win to. Well played lads

Think everyone saw the headbutt except the TJ and the referee



Can be the only explanation as to why he wasn’t sent off?

The big thing about when Longstaff hit him at the next tackle. He did it LEGALLY! No penalty given away. Just a good solid hit

Think he’s got 3 years on him and you’re right about the NCL it’s a tough physical league for young forwards to play in. I get the idea of the reserves league but think prop is the position where players benefit more from playing against seasoned old pros instead of players around their own age.

Does he ever? He really is a total Muppet. Of course everyone is allowed an opinion and he hides behind that to slag Hull FC. Players Coaches off all the time.

Yeh, far too good for us apparently. Maybe he’s one of Powell’s “bad apples”.

Anybody know the attendance today. Was very impressed with the young kids today. I know Toulouse looked poor but we have some good young lads coming througg

8785

8 something I think was announced

What's everyone's opinion on cam scott. I thought he had bulked up a bit ,ran some good lines, was good after contact but just not sure he is going to be a quality centre, once or twice he could have put litten away but chose to take the tackle. I think he could make a good loose forward especially the way we use the 13

Definitely think Longstaff Is worth giving a deal too if Warrington are willing to let him go. In a team that’s struggled and lacked creativity and attitude Longstaff has shown plenty of effort, attitude snd endeavour and certainly hits above his weight. He looks to be enjoying his time at Hull too. Still only young at 20 but shown plenty of potential, the right attitude and prepared to get stuck in.
As I said earlier thought all the young charges showed up well along with Mitch and Scott. This was a game that Gale should have easily delivered a performance but sadly he was found wanting again and his pass selection and end of set plays were poor especially the number of hospital passes he threw today. Even Taylor had a fairly decent game along with Lane which only highlights Gale not standing out both as an experienced half but as a captain. Connor seemed to do more talking and guidance to the young lads out there than the captain himself.
Thought Ligi was also very good and put a huge shift in.
Overall a pleasing and deserved win

There were tribes in outer Mongolia that knew FC would win this. I add my name to the list and a healthy return from the 'Tips and Tabs' bookies that I use on Spring Bank.

The one that matters is the Derby! there is nothing else to talk about for me - 'let's be havin ya'

Definite back rower for me

We need some size & aggression - he's too timid.
Its a no brainer to try to sign Longstaff however, - a bit lightweight at the mo'
but at 6ft?, 20yrs old still a couple of years to put on a few kilos,
Great attitude, pacey, knows where the tryline is & looks very comfortable in the
centre,if he is deemed a bit light, atm.

I'm amazed that Longstaff couldn't get in such a poor Warrington side and that they haven't recalled him.

Hopefully this means he is not in Powell's plans and we can get him signed up. He has a great attitude and can only get better as he gains experience and bulks up a bit. He also knows the way to the tryline, six tries in nine games for a team that hasn't been winning is impressive.

Last game of the season for me, off to Spain on Thursday so missing the derby. 42 years of travelling over from Leeds, a season that offered so much derailed by a ridiculous injury list. I'll be renewing again, looking at WC fixtures now to get my RL fix. Highlight for me was the Leeds away game, Rob and me sat behind Rimmer and AP in the Directors box watching a Jake masterclass. Bentley before the game in the Directors suite predicting a 30 point win for Leeds. Last laugh on them though, hate to say it but I fancy the Whino's to get to the GF.

His numbers were good from yesterday, 187m from 17 carries which was only bettered by Mitch but his numbers will be inflated by his 2 long range tries.

Agree with you about his catch and pass letting him down when Litten was in space.

If he is happy staying as 4/5th choice centre it makes sense keeping him.

He’d be ahead of Wynne for me but that’s if he is staying.

Definitely ahead of Wynne if he can repeat yesterday’s performance for me.

Hope he stays!

The stupidity of a double round at this strage of the season summed up by Saints and Wigan putting out second string sides today. I mean, we did too but not by choice



Thankfully it sounds like there won't be a repeat next year and there'll also only be one round over Easter.

Its lucky that HKR and Wakefield have nothing to play for really.
Imagine if a playoff spot or relegation was decided by the 2pts from playing an academy side, would make this double round look even more stupid.

wigan and especially sts do this every year and get away with it.one time of day,you got charged with bringing the game into disrepute and got heavily fined for fielding an a team.cheats both of them.

ileague structure doesnt help,both wigan and sts would have turned out full strength teams today if they were fighting to finish top and become champions.our stupid game would sooner make finishing top a minor event and prefer calling the team who wins a 3 round knockout cup champions.what a joke our game is.

They aren't cheating as it's within the rules. I guess they have earned the right to rest players.

What it shows though is the ridiculous play-off structure. Wigan basically gave up any chance of finishing top as they know that there is no benefit in finishing 1st over finishing 2nd.

See Navarette has picked up a ban for the headbutt on longstaff? I think it was, yet again an act of foul play isn't punished in the game, instead someone else will benefit from the suspension.

Right in front of the ref and linesman as well. Would have been crucial in a close game.

It was Longstaff. He got his retribution shortly afterwards. Within the rules.
