Thought FCs reserves did pretty well against a full strength Wakefield team.

Think Hull will go a lot better this year than a lot expect, they have a strong squad yet people are basing there opinions on performances last season when they had a freakish injury crisis.

Biggest pile of BS force fed by the club and its pet sports editor at Hull Daily Mail. Yes they had good chunk of injuries but no more than Cas Leeds Wigan ourselves or Widnes. If even a part of the local rumours are true they are a shambles behind closed doors. Signed nothing but kids or jobbers. Yes Radford conjured 2 cups but that was on the back of Ellis running the team, and the spirit and professionalism is long gone. Matty Jones biggest signing says it all. Them and London for wooden spoon imo.

Good news for England in that in his first game back Walmsley was immense as was another product of the world famous St. Helens academy Jack Ashworth. He mullered the hull football club forwards. He could be on DR @ Leigh along with Matty Costello, Adam Swift, and Jack Welsby. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/of ... ossip-146/

Leeds 24 Cas 26. Maybe more between the sides than the score suggests - cas missed 5 kicks from 6...

Friendly or not, Hull were dreadful and only looked interested when Saints brought on the reserves and youngsters. They’re in for a long season I think. Coote looked very good as did Naiqama and Paulo. Walmsley really good on his return as well.

you do realise 6 or 7 of our starting squad didnt play?

You're absolutely right, Leeds missed 3 from 5, so all told there's a potential 6 point difference between the teams rather than just 2...

Final of pre-season Yorkshire cup finished Batley 12 Bradford 14. I realise there's only so much you can take from friendlies but we've beaten all three established championship sides we've played so can't ask for more than that.

Were Bradford presented with the real Yorkshire Cup?

James Bentley and Joe Batchelor early in the season also. It should be a good arrangement for both clubs.

Salford 18 - 28 Wigan

Soft penalties gave Salford a lot of field position but Wigan finally have a goalkicker!

As a Leeds fan that's good to hear. My brother told me Leeds had scored only 4 tries but he's a less than reliable source
