Just like to say thanks for the wire fans for chanting going down going down, it was just the lift we needed lol

Seriously, once mini went in to make it 26-22 I was confident we would get another to tie/win

Not bad for an average team to beat saints and wire away and lose to wiggan by 1

As for silverwood he was garbage for us too, allowed your team to be offside every play when fc were on your 10 metre line in the first half

Been thinking of Atkins best position(not centre) wing? second row? loose forward? but now I've got it utility player at North Wales Crusaders(not sure if he`ll get in on current form)

Passenger (no pun intended) seat in a car, going over the Pennines, back to Yorkshire.

Hill looked tired and Sims possibly had his worst game as well. Atkins seemed knackered most of the game and has not looked the same since his injury. The only light was Ormsby who to me looks a fantastic prospect with good vision and pace. I would give Penny another rn out at least he look like he can create something out of nothing. TS needs to sort his tactics out as well we look very predictable when attacking.

Oh well onwards and Upwards

FMC.
Giving away a penalty at the end of a set on our own line is poor.
10 points up at that moment.
Inexcusable action.

Sims was our second best prop in my eyes - although I accept he wasn't great, and how anyone can say Asotasi was our best prop is completely beyond me. We all have our opinions though I suppose

Goal line defence was absolutely shocking today and seriously needs looking at.

Any comments on the final play of the game? Seemed strange that silverwood stopped play as Sneyds drop goal attempt missed, only for the ref to give him another shot from a clean play the ball 10m out....?

If you look on the Hull FC Facebook page there's footage of the last minute. The ref had his hands in the air to stop the clock before the ball was even in Sneyd's hands, and it looked like it went over to me anyway.

I'd rather not watch it again thanks!

Seemed a strange decision to stop play when the injury was so far back. I wasn't in a great spot to see whether it had gone over or not, although the hull fans didn't seem to react like he had kicked it first up - hence my assumption. I may have been wrong with that. Still seemed a strange one though.

I've got no complaints. Clock was stopped and yet the one time you want everyone rushing out of the line to charge down a kick or to at least put the kicker under pressure, we don't do it!
DOH!

Don't know why we bother giving Asotasi a shirt, he quite clearly can't do more than half an hour per game and even when he does his impact is average. Have we really not got a better option or does TS feel obliged to play him?

A fit Ben Evans and / or Simon Grix and I don't think he will get a spot.

We all have our opinions, Atkins was poor last week and continued this, our best 3 players were ormsby, England, hill, and when hill and England partnership was split as England went off at 26-16 we seemed to loose control of the game, and couldn't control ball in the tackle
Silverwood, out did thalers effort last week by a country mile,
Last week we missed 5 kicks costing 10 points, this week was 4 kicks costing 8 points,, with the league as tight as it is everybody beating everybody these missed points are going to cost us close games,, bridge kicked a corker
but that was it,,

I know we are all disappointed, but the squad is what it is, it fell short last year but finished a respectable 3, and a world series ,, I went to both Leeds games so am as confused as the rest of us, but hull beat saints, saints Leeds lost, it's a mad year,,,
Bring on dewsbury!!

Thought england was ok. Atkins is in serious danger of losing his spot to king. I'd give king the spot against dewsbury...

Agreed, Atkins is well off the pace at minute,, I think we needs strong team out, our form isn't good enough to underestimate dewsbury, and we don't want a banana skin,,

Jason King
Ben E King
Martin Luther King
Johnathan King

Atkins SHOULD BE in danger of losing his spot to any of the above 4

I only say serious danger as it takes a lot for smith to drop a player. He's already dropped for me.

Ha ha ya missed
Don king
Burger King!!!

Toby'll be a doubt for Dewsbury I'd have thought.

No you are spot on !!

Yup, cos last year we were like warrington circa 2011.

Steady on Lefty.
He isn't that bad!

oh he is.

I'm absolutely SEETHING about his performance today (and quite a few others over the last couple of seasons)

The sooner he loves off, the happier I am.

twunt

With regards to Atkins, I've mulled this over during my Sunday evening camomile tea, and I believe I've come up with a solution.

Lets' convert him to a second rower. I know no-one has mentioned this before, so bear with me, but I'm sure you'll all agree Ryan's herculean efforts in defence and ability to hit a gap at pace is reminiscent of Jacko & Mark Roberts in their pomp.

No? Oh sod it, let's just drop him then eh?

Excellent idea.
I surprised no one at staff level hasn't thought of that yet.

You'd think with his place under threat it would spark him a little...unfortunately he waltzes back in after his absence and continues his complacent/poor attitude. Squad balance and management seems pretty poor this season.
