Another Hull try Westerman

FC 20 Cas 6

Another Hull try as Westerman takes Heremaia's short pass before rounding Owen to cross under the posts. Holdsworth converts with first points for FC.

youngsters lay the platform and the 1st team finish it off

Referee Tim Roby denies Joe Arundel a debut try as he pulls the former Castleford centre back for [uoffside[/u.

Must be one of them new rules!

From the commentary on the web: FC think they have scored again through Arundel, but Heremaia who kicked the ball into the path of Arundel was offside from the first kick by Holdsworth.

Just by reading commentry...sounds as though Holdsworth is going to be a good signing

Some more good defence from Hull as they repel three sets of six on their own line. The score is still 20-6 to the Black and Whites.

What a run! McDonnell calmly flicks an attempted 40/20 back into the field of play before regathering the ball and jinking past 3defenders!

FC make another break down the right hand side, but Heremaia's pass to Ellis is just too high for the former Wests Tigers player of the year.

FC 26 Cas 6

McDonnell is on the end of a lovely move from FC as quick hands spread the ball to Briscoe. He runs down the wing, draws the full back and plays it inside to the supporting McDonnell. Holdsworth adds the extras. FC 26-6 Cas.

Shannon McDonnell crosses for a debut try

Sounds like McDonnell is having a good debut.

The offical attendance for Kirk Yeaman's testimonial fixture is 5577 and today's Man of the Match is.....................Kirk Yeaman.

Full time 26-6

And there's the full-time hooter. Hull win 26-6 in Kirk Yeaman's testimonial. Reaction from Peter Gentle to come on www.hullfc.com Sounded a great first run out for the whole squad well played lads. Great attendance for Yeamo as well.

Thought they would have been a bigger turnout! What was the attendance for Hornes testimonial?

Can't recall but his was against KR.
It was a decent turnout for Kirk and a good run out for the majority of the squad.

I am sure Hornes testimonial attendance was 16,204 big difference.

Just got back, we have a good indication who PG thinks his first team is.

First half tacked well against Cas first team, Whiting and Green looked good, Horney ok, Seymour poor, his passing is so wayward at times, hard to see how he played so many NRL games. Shaul quite handy too but small. Ben Crooks out of position a bit in defence.

Second half came out blazing for 15 minutes then went off the boil, picked up again towards the end.

McDonnell good going forward, made one mistake not taking high ball on the full, I was sat in a different place to usual and the bellend behind me slagged him off all half. Good runner and backed up well.

Other quick thoughts:

Holdsworth, good accurate passes, best field kicker we have had for ages, seemed to have time.

Heremia, played well at half, nice kick for a repeat set.

Arundal, quiet but good hit to force an error.

Crooks, quiet but good drives for half.

O'Meley, looks slimmer and aggressive, good game.

Ellis, fairly quiet, no mistakes.

Westerman, good try.

Galea, quiet.

Great start to the year



And top effort from a young side!

Having just got back lll echo the previous poster, first half only really Green and Horne showed anything, Seymour was poor but the young lads stood up well and blotted out the threat of Chase. Second half the big boys came on with Heremaia and Holdsworth in the halfs which to me could indicate how we may line up for the season and we was much better for a time then the game went a bit stale though the conditions probably dictated that. The McDonnell try was good, Ellis looked Steady as did Holdsworth but for me the standout was Westerman who i think will have a fine season and is my bet for player of the season if not FCs main chance at Man of Steel

Did we come through without any injuries?

Didnt see anything major, Whiting might of got a knock in the first half
