Yeaman hat-trick....26-6

26-6 now. All pre-season optimism out of the window already.
Only positive - Hull have maybe their 1st choice team out, we don't.
Clutching at straws I know...

Full team? Lynch isn't playing. Had a sneaky suspicion he was gonna steam roller our pack today and it would have been egg on those faces who said he wasn't good enough. I am very worried looking at the score

30-6

We have mate barring Lynch and Heremia and 3 youngsters on bench.Was always going to be a 1st team run-out against you as Gentle said last weeks was a training exercise.

Sounds shocking so far

We're being ripped to shreds.....

36-6, sounds like they are scoring at will

Great work from the Hull FC left as they take advantage of an overlap and Manu, Yeaman and Briscoe all combine to put Mckinnon over for his second try. Tickle with a beautiful kick out wide to add the extras. FC 36-6 Bulls.

We've already shipped 4 tries in the 2nd half - and still 20 minutes to go....

whos marking yeamen?

No one can really be shocked that Hull are battering us in a meaningless friendly away. Though over 50 might be a worry.

Roll on next week when the real action starts.

Glad to see that we are carrying on from last year in defence...

I'm pleased you feel optimistic

I don't see our final warm up watch, with something close to a full squad, as 'meaningless'. I'm not concerned by a loss, but to be taken to the cleaners like this is not good

L'Estrange, Lulia, Kopzcak, Manase, Pryce, Ainscough, Elima, Whitehead all missing. Hardly full squad.

I am more concerned with the attitude of the players to be honest. Sounds like they carrying on with their cba attitude. Yes it's a friendly, but how about a bit of pride?

There in again

Anyone who thinks this friendly result doesn't offer a glimpse into the start of the 2012 season is letting their heart rule their head.

Well, OK, but on the other hand this is not a squad of kids, they are all seasoned first team squad members who will expect to see plenty of first team action this season

Thin Air

So we're going to have a full squad for the entire season then? I wasn't especting a win because of the above players out, but we;re getting battered. Sounds like our defence is disgusting yet again. I don't rwad too much into friednlies, but we're been torn to shreds by a team who are going to be our main rivals for a play off spot. NOT GOD ENOUGH!!

We were better under McNamara

Can still be shocked at our terrible defence and clueless attack a week before the season starts

Potter out!

We haven't even started Round 1 and already we're getting reactions like this?

Leeds got beat by Whitehaven today, they might as well not bother trying to retain their title, no?
