His ex-colleagues at the bbc will endorsed that.

So adding his 3/7 at half time, that’s just under 82%. Probably the most successful kicker in the league so far this season.

I used to dream of getting 82% at school. No doubt others would be disappointed with that mark.

True, the team they had is a lot better than the current Leigh one. We weren't 'Super League Ready' but who would have been, Toulouse maybe ?

Wouldn't play anyway he's behind Tompkins and lomax for the full back role

His performances against catalan Wigan in the league and passing the ball to grace in the semis proves he cant do it in the biggest games

Yep he was awesome against cas, Huddersfield, Salford and today but they're all minnows

Would love to see Vulikijapani score.

I know Leigh may not be great but very pleasing to see Hull keep their foot on the gas

Mitch certainly looks a big unit (bigger than Ratu) seeing him out there.

He's a hands on kind of guy.

Is Jake ok? Did he go off for a Head Test?

Ideal game to bring him into

Solid performance. Some very pleasing tries especially with a slightly makeshift 3/4 line.
Does the points difference some good!

If I had to nitpick I was a bit disappointed with some of our defensive efforts in the 2nd half but it must be hard to maintain any sort of intensity in a game like that.

I think the performance in the 2nd half seemed to ease off when BH withdrew some players and we had more of a makeshift 13 out there.

Very good professional performance and job done with hopefully a clean bill of health.

not a bad afternoons work,professional job
Our defence breached too easily and i guess Hodgson will look at that
If we could just cut out the indiscipline we would make it much easier for ourselves

We've had bigger wins in terms of points diffference but I think that's the first time we've hit sixty since Widnes at home in 2013.

2 good wins the last 2 weeks and more winnable ones coming up. I just hope we don't lose any players next week to the Combined team and kill our momentum.

Hodgson just said in the post match interview that we are losing a couple to that game but he can't say which ones.

Yeh heard that in his interview. Think it’s ridiculous that the RFL, Wane & Sheens seem to think picking players from squads of the 2 teams playing a league fixture on the same night. Both clubs are already struggling with players missing so to further hamper these clubs is just not good enough. By selecting players from both Hull & Huddersfield it’s just devalues the league game and the game should either be postponed or the players for both clubs exempt from selection.

There's a full league programme next week, three on Thursday and three on Friday. Crackers.

I don't get the secrecy about the Combined Nations squad. Are they having a training session or just turning up and playing?

Centre.

probably still trying to raise a team with such animosity to the fixture

.... trouble is, it's been shown on Sky.

Good win yesterday, people will say it's only Leigh, butvthey havent been blown away by any other team like that particularly at home. Good to see fringe players stepping up, thought both Wynne and Brown had top games.

Hard to pick out others, but Satae, Swift and Reynolds were excellent.

Connor outstanding, did well to recover for a bad hit (which should get a ban).

Once again showing Connor needs to be involved as much as possible, his skill would be wasted at centre, well done for Hodgson for giving him a run in a position, this wouldn't have happened under Radford.

Still discipline is an issue though, we need to be better and some lazy defence for a couple of trys.

Stepping back a bit from the game itself, We seem to have got a real gem of a coach who has instilled an attitude to each match and each other that is so refreshing and really reaping benefits. By and large we are watching the same players as we were last season yet the change is pretty amazing really.

On his arriving at the club he sat everyone down, coaches staff and players and got them all to talk through their lives and back histories which was an eye opener for many who thought they knew who they were working with, and that then started a bonding process and togetherness that built in pre season. We started together as a group, majored on a tight defence and battling for each other and slowly grew the attacking play that came on the back of that defensive dominance. Connor previously a rather disparate nomadic sort of character who didn't have a settled position was identified as the Lynch pin and coached by Brett into the full back roll, Sneyd and Reynolds are forming a good half back combination and despite what some say on here for me Houghton has experienced a new lease of life. So now the spine is starting to click as well. The team is still a work in process and injuries and the farce of next weekends international fiasco could set us back but I think that we are now at least on the right lines.

The personal hasn't really changed but the Hodgson, Ellis and Purtill team has instilled a belief and a belonging to the squad and when a junior or developing player like Wynne Scott, McNamara and Brown is called in they seen for the first time for years, to slot in seamlessly and get completely the need to not let their mates down. Most of all though the players seem to be listening and the way they approached the Leigh game shows that perfectly as it was a game that would have been seen as a bit of a gimme by the previous coaching staff but we worked all week on hitting them hard from the off and keeping the foot on the pedal throughout the game. When still a bit of a work in progress we faced Featherstone blew them away in the first half and then as we have seen for years at the club, sat back in the second half as if it were job done. Yesterday we just kept coming no one was selfish and going for glory we just stuck to our game plan and blew a team that has been reasonably competitive (and indeed took Catalans so close just 7 days before) away. We looked a bit sloppy in defending for a couple of their late tries but by and large we stuck at it throughout.

all I ever want to see is a team playing for us and each other I'm not holding my breathe but I am starting to enjoy watching the FC again.

Connor's stats
