Thats what I was getting at, they seemed really poor but still allowed them to score 24 points.

Yep, I'm hoping though that it can be put down to a little bit of early season misunderstanding amongst the team and as they play more first grade together that it will tighten up and start killing off games where we're dominant as we were againsts Hudds, Catalans and apparently Bradford as well.

To be fair, we're still improving game on game and hopefully this will be one area that tightens up. Certainly Agar is aware of the issue so there will no doubt be some focus on it in training.

I'm pleased with the improvement in our attack compared with recent seasons and if that continues to make progress as the team gels then we will hopefully start nailing sides when we have the advantage. The last time we did that was back in 2004 so it's long overdue!

A couple of their tries yesterday were of the annoying type that were a bit unlucky tbh. Knock those off the score and it's pretty comprehensive in our favour. One was a breakaway from a charged down kick and the other was one of those lucky loose bouncing balls from a ballsed up offload by them which allowed a (good) break by their centre and a score to follow. Agree we must keep the concentration better especially towards the end of each half but overall we were dominant in every department.

Have toe honest, am a bit bemused by some comments. Yes it was a deserved win but we still didn't play well for 80 minutes, there's a lot of improvement possible.

Don't get me wrong - I'm over the moon with our start to the season and chuffed to bits with yesterday's performance. Looking at the tries on Sky News last night shows the huge progress in our attacking game which bodes really well for the rest of the season.

I think my only 'concern' is, as you say, the lapses in concentration towards the end of each half. You can't legislate for the odd stroke of bad luck or dodgy decision from an official.

It is slightly concerning that we've been 'more dominant than the scoreline suggests' in just about every game this season. We need to start reflecting our dominance on the scoreboard, or the better teams will make us pay.

That being said, five wins from five....

I know mate you're right with your concern. I would say that the Huddersfield game was more concerning in respect of not pushing home our advantage than yesterday's.

Im not concerned whilst we keep scoring more than them!

Sky+ed it while the wife was watching Dancing on Ice, cos I wanted to see the Thorman try again because of the fantastic run and offload by Manu and they only showed the last pass. Will have to wait for FCTV and Super League TV now.

When is Boot N All and the Super league show on?

I was really looking forward to seeing the trys last night but as you say just seeing the last pass didn't do them justice as well as offiah waffling $hite bit crap from sky really

He makes Stevo sound fairly articulate

Stevo is quite articulate, he just generally articulates rubbish.

Did we watch the same game then?
You can't possibly be moaning about the ref. Some people are never happy.

Hull played well. But indeed you should have won by more. Bradford are dire at the moment and can't string two passes together, to let us score 4 tries.....shocking!
HKR only let us score 1!

Just be thankful to our less important neighbours.

Without them you'd be level on points with Celtic and Wire.

There is plenty of time yet.

He's one of the least articulate broadcasters I've ever heard. He frequently uses words completely out of context, messes up phrases, ends his 'thoughts' mid-sentence, constantly repeats phrases and tics, and generally doesn't speak very well at all.

Yes but apart from that ...

What does that make Offiah?


I can`t believe they replaced Tony Rae with him.
Chalk and cheese come to mind

it's as simple as that!

Worse. Somehow.

To Stevo's credit, he can be entertaining when part of a team and when he doesn't have much time to think about what he's saying.

Last season we would have lost games like Huddersfield/Bradford ..But even when both these teams scored we went and scored ..We seem to be coasting games ..I am waiting till we really click the somebody will suffer ..Has fans we have got to be over the moon with the start the team has made ..They are playing with a smile on their faces and when somebody scores they celebrate together I still have a gut feeling that 2009 could be Hulls and our season for glory .. Cannot wait for the next game ..Please God

just let Hull stay clear of injuries .

.and a bigger please to the visa people Hurry up and issue visas to the 2 lads who are waiting

I've got everything crossed

you need to hear the guy doing the "comentry" on the bradford/hull game on SLTV, its more pauses and silence than comentry.

Yup like 'The coach has got to get the word out and say hey come on'.
