I noticed Stevo and co. were buzzing about Thackeray saying how excellent he was in the first 20, but when he came on and we actually weren't a man down, he done nothing. IMO we have arguably the best front row in the league, and Smith seems to have the rotation perfected. Carvell is such a monster, and Morley is just consistent quality. They stepped it up a level in that second half and Hull couldn't cope, which resulted in Briers having plenty of time to create and put in some quality kicks. I thought Monaghan had a pretty poor game, especially the first half, but I won't complain about us winning

Couldn't agree more.

Stevo spent about 70 minutes saying how awesome Hull were, before finally acknowledging there were two teams on the park. Still refused to give us any credit though.

We should still be beating limited sides like Hull more easily, I feel.

They've a long way to go consistency wise before we can start to make sweeping statements like that. They were pretty awful in that first half. No doubt that if they click, Briers gets room and we dominate.

Need King and Hicks back for Wigan.. hopefully they just picked up knocks in training.. King perhaps suffered with his calf again (like at Fev)?

He did compliment us after the game though.
