The best moment in the match for me was when Crookes kicked the ball off, Jake caught it with his foot in touch and appeared to lose it, Rovers fan gave him it but he turned to them as he was carrying the ball the the centre spot and told them his foot was in touch, deathly silence from the Great Unwashed, still most of them would have got a free shower on the way out

I thought that was the best Derby for years and actually applauded Crookes’ try,

Can't remember which commentator it was, but one of them at one stage couldn't be bothered to say Ligi Sao so he just called him Lao instead.

My favourite was watching SKD's attempted 'chest-butt' on Connor while he was walking away laughing at him. Didn't want to know once a couple of our bigger lads came over.

Wash your mouth out son......

It’s a pity it isn’t Fonua going to Cas and Faraimo staying.

The best moment for me was Connor's no look flick pass that set up Faraimo's try. Simply magnificent,

Some absolutely weird behaviour on this thread by the way. I’m all for taking the proverbial out of each other but honestly, it’s a bit weird.

Onto the game, think your spine were just a bit better then ours, and you could see the value quinlan and Abdul bring to our team. It helped by you doing a job on parcel for all his want and scheming he didn’t really have a sniff. Mau, Tuimavave, Connor I’d say your top 3. Would have been a bit of a steal if we won to be fair I don’t think that obstruction try should have been disallowed but we stuck around and managed to keep in the game. The 10 minutes before half time I think damaged us most, 10-4 up to 10-16 on the back of terrible last tackle options and a kick out on the full. Criminal really and you lot were clinical in that period

Good game though, and should be the level & intensity we should aspire to across the board. You could see by neutrals reactions how much they loved it on social media, and probably was needed after the bore fest on Friday night.

Don’t think either team are a million miles away from been within the upper echelons of SL, just need to see some consistency really

Can't disagree with that.

Too many errors for me, he can only play on the wing so waste of a quota spot, particularly if we keep Mitch.

I'd definitely release Fonua if we could though, thought he turned the corner when he first moved to the centre, but form has been poor and breaking club rules now is not a good example. Been very quiet on social media last week.

Reasonable point about Faraimo's mistakes but there's not many wingers that can bring the ball back with such power and get the team on the front foot.

hope he brushed his teeth after the game

I doubt it...West ull.....Never heard of tooth paste

Says the unwashed of east Hull

Agree with you to a point Dave re Faraimo but I do think he’s been much improved this season in terms of mistakes made and also his defence. He’s been very strong and gained us territory particularly in the absence of Griff.

Out the two I think Fonua is the weakest and like you thought he’d turned the corner when moving to centre but it didn’t last and his ability to concede penalties along with his errors are just unacceptable.

Shaul will never make a nine

I doubt they have in East Hull, so many with 6 fingers and no teeth.

Funny you should say that as 40% of Ull fans live in East hull due to the Slum clearance of Hessle road in the 70's

He specifically said "the unwashed of East Hull" and we all know who he meant by that.

I think the Dobbins (team and supporters) turned up expecting the win and got a bit of a shock. Think they’d started to believe Sky’s BS hype.
We neutralised their second phase attack, and they didn’t know what to do when it didn’t work. I was confident we could score whenever we got down their end.
Their MO is to score a lot of early points and hang in for the win, but in all honesty they were never truly in the game. They only reason why they had a sniff Is because they got every decision. It would have been a travesty if they’d pinched it.

It wasn’t even one of our best performances, but it was good enough to make the great unwashed pipe down a bit, so that will do for me.

Maybe the Dobbins should bring a new car sticker out:

“Pride of 60% of East Hull”

Followed by....Still above ya!

Shows the level of your ambition I suppose.

After watching the game back and seeing the 3 decisions of no try I can’t understand why all 3 were ruled out. The first one it’s clear to me that swift pats the ball and it goes backwards irrelevant of were Swift ends up as the angle in line with the goal line shows the ball does not go forward, so a clear legal try. The second one that Carlos scores is again a try and given the ref sent it up as a try for Thaler to over rule is farcical. Reynolds is not obstructing and makes no attempt to collide with Kenny-Dowell and he isn’t even looking. Kenny-Dowell knows he’s beaten so deliberately alters his angle and runs into Reynolds in the hope of milking the decision which sadly worked due to Moore & Thalers incompetence. The 3rd one is the only one I’d agree was probably the right call. I’d also question why Moore felt the tip tackle by Linnett on Lane was legal when he lifted Lanes legs clearly above the horizontal and above the waist. The other two that begs a question was when Carlos played the ball legally and a rovers player stuck his foot in the way yet Moore allowed play on then for some reason called it back as a knock on which it wasn’t. The second one was the ball steal by Parcel on Fash which shows that Lawler still has a hand on Fash so effectively there are two in the tackle end. The ball is stripped.
It was also noticeable the amount of times Rovers backs were in front of the kicker Moore ignored that.
So all in all I thought we dug in and deservedly won a game that was tighter than it really should have been.

And Your Owners ambition in 2020 after spending big was to finish top 4.......What happened?
