Probably need to win 5 of those for a top 4 finish, personally think we will win 7 of the remaing fixtures and finish 2nd behind Cas.

No easy games at this level. Need to keep turning up.

Good that them games are away.....only undefeated team in SL away from home

"finally"? I've been already this season, twice in fact. I don't have to justify being a fan/supporter by how many games I come to, to you nor anyone else. To those who come even further than I(320 or 370 mile round trip as it happens for me), I applaud them.

I already knew I wouldn't make as many home games this season as of recent but if fans want to come once a season they are still fans/supporters, what isn't very supporter like is writing your team off every single match when the team has a bad 10/20/30/40 minutes and/or is losing which is what barista has done all season so far.

You don't, but to call a supporter who attends about every game to support the team and put thousands into the club, particularly when it is a joke she has done for a few seasons now, but you still don't get it.

You can call Mrs B a few things, including a wind up merchant, but you canny question her support for the club.

Hope you enjoy the game on Friday.

Goes to show, things can change over the course of 80 mins. The game we put in a 70 minute performance we will absolutely muller the opposition. Great win and big up to Radford. His interview on RH was spot on the money. Experience is teaching him not to press the panic button.

With regards to come backs, The Saints game mentioned on this thread was at one point 26-6 early in the second half for us to come from behind and win. Then there was craven park last year, 20 - nil with 21 mins to go.

I cannot recall us coming back from 22-0 down before.

I'm going to call it. I think we will finish strong and Cas will struggle with inconsistency. I think we will be top at season end.

... the club website reckons it's the best ever hull comeback in superleague.

agreed

Yes, our best comeback in the Super League era.

Obviously there's last year's Good Friday comeback from 0-20. Then there's the 1999 comeback againmst Halifax Blue Sox. 0-20 with twenty minutes left, we pulled it back to 12-20 then Fax kicked a drop before we went on to win 24-21 with a last minute Graham Hallas try. Two Bobs kicked four from four goals.

I think the official record best comeback was Wigan at Rovers a few years back, won after being 0-26 down.

Let's focus on making the 8 first.

What's funny about that?

The team who has been 8th in the previous 2 years of this 8's format have been on 20 points after 23 rounds, looking quite similar this year. Don't think you, Cas, Leeds or Salford need to worry about Middle 8's now. For those 4 teams it's about how well placed you can be when you enter the Super 8's. Seen in previous years that it's tough for those outside the top 4 to catch up in the Super 8's if the points gap is too wide.

We need to finish top 4 to get the 4 home games in the super 8's and to be in with a good shout of top 4 after them. We have away games against the 4 teams who have already beaten us at home so it's far from guaranteed we'll pick up enough points. Whilst we won today, we won;t be coming back from 22 nil down against the likes of cas, leeds and salford so need to pick up our form again quickly. 4 really important games coming up, all of them winnable and which will put us in a good position for the remaining games before the split

I'd like to hope we can avoid the middle 8s, but let's take nothing for granted yet.

This game was a polar reverse to what we usually seem to do i.e. run away scoring first half then let them catch up. Never boring is it?

The first Hull FC game I attended in Hull since leaving the UK in the mid-sixties was in June 2010 against St Helens.

Half-time it was 6-22( Tom Briscoe scored the first try) and it went to 6-26 early in the 2nd half. Won 27-26 with a Tickle drop goal at the death.

A truly great game.

A good response from watts following his sending off - 20 hit ups for 145m and 47 tackles with only 1 miss. Also big raps for griffin who made 148 m in only 1/2 a game

Still way too many errors though

148 metres in half a game that's a huge effort! Where did he play centre or wing?

While I do like the idea that I have some ability to control outcomes I'm not involved directly in, in reality, I'm pretty sure I don't have a lot of say in the matter anyway. Therefore I don't think I really need to focus on anything really.

Couldnt follow any of the game but match reports say he was at left centre. Came on for Connor and then they swapped sides. Radford said Connor hadnt done anything wrong but they needed some stronger ball carrying out of the back field, which he obviously did with those numbers. Surely strengthens the call for him to play left wing?

Not heard enough credit for radford regarding this
Takes connor off who'd been outdtanding in the previous games. Switched carlos and brings Griffin on to change it up a bit. Instant effect. 150 metres in half a game is some stat tbf tho
Carlos on 5 day turn around must be doubtful so Griffin probs be left centre. But if Carlos in I'd have Griffin wing. Big powerful side the Frogs.

Inspired substitution. We've been saying we need more impact off the bench but none of us thought that'd come from a centre.
