I have to admit to having had a 'banana skin' feeling for 2 days before the match and then into the first 20 minutes. With a little more luck on their behalf Hull could have been even 18 points ahead before we cut out the handling errors and silly penalties. It was a huge sense of relief that I felt when we scored the fist try.

that defence of ours is awesome. best in the league

Remember though, Leeds have the second best defence in the league and they've a game in hand


Good defence and a faster, more attractive game than we've played on many occasions this season. We've usually been well-organised and hard to beat but there was an added edge last night. Kevn Brown looked sharper too. And the players' committment continues to impress.

that working our favour though - in the game in hand they are very likely to concede points and there is no way on earth they are going to get a negative score!

You have a point but probably thought Leroy was in a better position, which he was, the pass was not the best unfortunately.

I knew we'd beaten them when we scored the 3rd, as Bruno ran in the try he was allowed to run along the back of the sticks with 2 Hull players just stood watching him instead of closing him down, they were done from that point onwards, heads gone.

Nothing new there then.

Watching from behind you really do get to appreciate some of the dummies players sell to opponents.

In the first half Faiumu danced round an FC player which looked impossible from where we were. the slight of hand that lead to Lunts try - who else wondered where the ball was?

Look, I know some of our players are gash,but that is going too far!

Again, i thought we didnt really hit top gear tonight - we nilled a side at home with 4 or 5 players rested while playing in 3rd gear - forget how bad Hull fans say their team is they still have some class players - and to do that to them at home while playing at 60-70% shows how good this team we have could be this season.

As a Hull fan said to me outside - if you lot dont win anything this year i'll eat a rovers shirt !!

Sorry but we are terrible, I understand your new to this situation and are enjoying it but for christ sake don't milk it.

No pride in beating FC at the moment.
