Thought Broughy stood out and was best by a mile,
Much prefer to see rooney playing second string and working of Danny
Absolutley chuffed drew and latu of the bench have been choosen over Obst
Winterstein stood his ground well and snitch again anothe faultless preformance

I was disappointed to see Blaymire bounce off Yeamen, but will give him the benefit of the doubt that he was trying to cover two blokes on his own (moral - don't worry about what happens if he passes it, just tw*t him as hard as you can!!).

Though he did make a cracking one on one a few minutes later.

Brough man of match for me another quality performance.

Can't tell you how much better we look with Stosic in the team. One of our best buys by far.

Never takes a backward step, always looking for work and just gets on with the damn job without any fuss.

Yes Brough will get the plaudits, Snitch has been oustanding ALL season and Bibey is stepping up to the plate (contract time) but I feel its about time we gave 'Sausage' a massive pat on the back........!!

Pity you can't vote for the pack as a unit - games we've struggled in have been mostly against big, strong, fast forwards. Our pack had Hulls in their pockets on Saturday, and that gave Broughy time and space to shine.

We also did better at catching the ball at speed - although we still catch it stood still, or have to stop and jump for it, too often.

To be fair, if you watch it again Tony Martin covered 30 yrds to cover the winger so Matt only had one man to worry about, the pass wide wasn't an option for Yeaman, but he's only human, and tackles do get 'missed' from time to time.................just glad it didn't matter much in the end

Yes he did, that gave Blaymire a one on one, split seconds on a hot day, human error can be forgiven in this case.

Watched it back last night. Yeaman turns to look for the support out wide, then decides to run it and turns back - just as Blaymire gets to him. I think that helped Yeaman through him, but Blaymire would probably still be disappointed in not getting him.

I don't mean to be too hard on him, it's just that if he could iron out these occasional slips I think he'd be on course for a few England caps! Thought on the whole he had a good solid game, and he looked rock solid under that bomb in the first half!

I agree, seen a big improvement on last season, and looks a lot more confident under the high ball. Think Matt is always likely to miss the odd tackle (as is any full back) but he certainly doesn't get the credit he deserves for the yards he makes.
