Close game neither side has taken advantage of all the opportunities given to them and a fairly penalty ridden game. It's still anybody's game to win I hope that the extra experience on the bench just clinches the game in our favour !!

I'm not going to post on the yellow card incident specifically but I think that the manipulation of joints is creeping into the game and should be stamped out. It's a contact sport and players get injured in a perfectly legal tackles and anything that increases the risk of injury should be delt with in a way to deter others.

Jake Connor has been absolute class in the first 40.

Very dumb by Manu, no reason at all why he would do that? Definitely a game or two ban.
And as for a Michaels I hope Radders gives him a talking to. Just hug the touch line ffs, do that and no way Russell gets anywhere near the try line.

Done that a few times this year.

You do know Michaels had to wedge in and help the centre otherwise it was a 1 on 1. It was clever play from Warrington and our defence did slide across quick enough.
And what a poor start that was.

Our weak bench will take its toll last 20

If our players can't manage a 1 on 1 then there in the wrong profession given the little room the centre had to play with. Don't agree with you there.

Great effort by all the players, but I'd like to give a special mention to Fash. Who I thought was outstanding up the middle against a very good Wire pack.

Excellent 2nd half, forwards got on top allowing the halfs to play.

Connor and Fonua outstanding, great goal line defence.

Thought Fash was outstanding, what a player he is turning out to be.

Great team effort.

Fash was brilliant. If we'd signed an experienced NRL player and he put in the display that Fash did tonight, we'd be talking about him leading by example and taking the game on, and making every play count. For Fash to not only slot in without looking out of place, but look like an established part of a top of the table squad speaks volumes for his potential and ability, and the long game that Radford, Last and Horne are playing with youth development at the club. Not sure when his contract runs to but I'd be certainly looking to make sure he is with us for at least the next two years.

Take a bow Jake Connor,Fonua and Fash.
Great team effort again.Just make it more difficult for ourselves with indiscipline at times.

If we can get that right, we won't be far off winning another trophy this year.

On the whole, it was fantastic to see us play for the whole game (a small spell in the first half aside) and not let our advantage diminish in the second half. Connor and Fonua (my MOTM) were excellent and are showing real signs of an outstanding partnership. Sneyd was immense again and pretty much played in a tuxedo the whole night. His goal kicking, and sorry to sound like a stuck record, but it's worth so many points on the table throughout the whole season - he's the most important player we've signed in the past few years in terms of what he offers to the gameplan.

To be top at this stage of the season, with injury issues, discipline issues, problems with playing 80 minutes, big defeats (especially at home) and not exactly firing on all cylinders is a real credit to the club, especially considering that in recent weeks we have seen youngsters in Fash, Litten, Downs, Turgut, Matongo all get really good game time.

The squad, as a direct consequence of these youngsters getting valuable game time and experience, plus the likes of Houghton, Ellis, Talanoa, Bowden and Watts (albeit for discipline reasons) having a bit of enforced rest, will be all the better for it and maybe we will be able to make this count as we reach the summer and autumn months, and go that one step further in the Super 8s.

WOW! Absolutely superb performance tonight!

Too many quality performances to single people out but Fonua amazing, Conner fantastic, Fash played like a man twice his size, Green leading from the front, half backs wow.................everyone was just superb!

Sp proud HULL FC!!!!

didn't manage to watch the second half but sounds like a cracker, well done to the players and LR for getting them playing in the second half as they did the first 10-12 minutes.
Manu's afters is horrible, should get two games for that in all honesty.
Connor has really matured, think the responsibility he's being given has helped and LR should be applauded for that and connor for (so far) taking his chance. I really wasn't sure where he was going to get a game but he seems to have slotted in just perfectly in that right centre position.

As for Griffin, well he needs some game time, can he get a run out in the 23s?
Certainly going to be tough at the moment not playing as he was the 'star' signing for us (before Kelly). Does he "deserve" another chance, bit of a silly question really, it's not whether one deserves it but if the coach thinks it's the right move for the team as a whole to stick him in X game. if he does then it shows faith and if he's had some coaching on a few aspects it's a chance to show the coach and fans and himself that's he's improved and ready to do the business.

I think talanoa will struggle to get back in the side, I would hope we are looking to bring someone through to replace him for next season, good as he has been his defence is much worse than michaels and I think keeping either could be a mistake in the medium to long term.

The depth in the backs is much better this season. I'd rather have Griffin and Talanoa as our options to bring in than solely having only Naughton available. Tuimavave has been a revelation at centre and we look all the better for it.

Was concerned when I saw the two benches but to pull that off with Ellis, Houghton, Watts, Bowden and Talanoa all sat in the stands was special. Connor, Fash, Fonua all outstanding. Only April and we're just 2 wins off last season's safety points total of 20. Very impressive.

I am often critical of you, but that's a good post. Thought Griffin did well in his brief spell, ran really hard.

Really pleased . thought fonua conner fash where terrific as was washy. Heck there all played well. Sneyd tackle on Hughes what a hit. Said at ht Kelly was quite and that he'd score second half. He scored two and he really is special. Shaul save under the high ball and defense top notch. Well done lads.

Dont agree with the Talanoa point. Straight back in for me. Good post other than that though.

Second half performance (well once we'd got that Philbin break out of the way) was pretty much as good as you could ask for. Everyone of them deserves a mention but in particular Fonua was unplayable, Connor is making that right centre spot his own and Fash looked like a seasoned hard nosed prop. Put Houghton in that team to give us a bit more zip out of dummy half and to sure up the middle defence and we are going to be more than a match for anyone imo.

Outstsnding tonight, gutted couldnt make it, had to listen to phil clarkes bullllltte , god he was gagging for us to lose! Was still praising warrington after the fonua long range run and kelly try, arrrsehole. Impressed with fash tonight, stood up well. Green not sure about still , really doesnt do enough for me unfortunately, really needs to step up, looks like hes running in cement , and not aggresive enough for such a unit! Fonua , wow , mom by a mile . Thompson vs Hadley debate, thompson wasnt amazing tonight , but ive never seen hadley play as well as thompdon did tonight , imo. Connor looking more and more impressive. Think we've got to grips with not relying on houghton tackling so much, can only be a positive for when he returns. Coyh fecking love it

I feel that Green could do with a few more kgs on him and then he'd run stronger - for his height and gait he doesn't punch the line enough for me.

Another fantastic effort , Connor's first half performance was superb . Never saw that result comming . Well done again !!

Greeny just come back from a nasty back injury he was going great guns until then he is going to be a cornerstone of our pack along with Watts and tag and Josh for years can only see him getting better and Fash was outstanding just proves when you give these kids a chance they don't let you down the more mins they get the better they are and Conner becoming a real hero so clever and skilled, where building the momentum nicely after a little hiccup but all teams will have one or two

Clarke said that in his opinion Warrington played better tonight than in the previous 4 games they had won and looking at the stats he could be right.

Makes our victory all the more impressive.
