I said SHOULD have troubled us. A performance like we have seen in the first 5 games this season would have seen us take the 2 points

i agree also that is the worst we have played all season, but i dont want to sound a bitter loser as i dont think we deserved a win

first id like to say what a cracking game and atmosphere tonight.

i think this years league other than the saints/leeds and celtic/salford is the most competative league there has been in decades where any team can beat another.tonight you may well of been just off the pace and thats all it takes to lose a game and personally i thought despite the 4 tries to 3 we deserved our win.at the end of the game hull were void of ideas and looked a team out on their feet having done a lot of tackling for the last 15 minutes.

im sure its only a blip in your season and you can maintain your position near the top come the end of the year, hull is a club i admire and there have been some great ties over the years between our clubs with players and matches.

good luck until murreyfield...

You dont think they were playing the ball quicker? beat us down the middle? looked far more threatening going forward?

I think if you take out all the mistakes we made it was pretty even, infact if we didn't knock on or give a penalty away they were struggling to get out of thier own half.

What a joke the person who says " We shouldnt be getting beat by them is"

Game 1 - We were without Sherwin, Who is our main man, and threw the game away in shocking conditions with a silly pass from a prop on our 10, A game we should have won

Game 2 - Go to Wigan, Completely dominate the game, Go clear and just let them back into it in a 5 minute spell before wrapping the game up

Game 3 - Salford - Even Hull Dockers could beat Salford, But hit 50 in process

Game 4 - Catalans away - Bad place to go, Terrible conditions, Yet bossed the game and came away with a win

Game 5 Hudds - Conceded from kick off after 13 seconds, Dropped a ball over line when easier to score, Stopped an inch short for another, Thrown 1 silly ball out in our 20 resulting in a try

Game 6, I thought your forwards were dominant, We only started to boss it late on - but the defensive effort at times was superb and deserved the win

We should be 6 from 6, Just have to cut out 1 silly error in our 2 defeats and we win, And you shouldnt be getting beat -- I said to my dad any side who wins 5 from 5 are a bloody good side at this level, As its so tight, That includes you - And we beat a bloody good side - Some people need to stop judging teams like Cas on previous years and look at what we have now, A big pack, Pacey backs, Goldy playing well at Fb and the best 7 in the league - We are a team that will beat anybody on our day

Thought the full team struggled tonight always new cas would be a threat there well organised and play some good quick rugby. but that was poor in attack looked against bradford like we had finally started working a few moves and getting abit of understanding. but not for the first time this season we looked liked headless chickens and for the life of me i cannot understand why we dont get the ball in the hands of manu near the line hes almost unstoppable and if he does,nt score you can guarantee he would slip the ball to yeamo or briscoe. frustrating tonight but a rare win at the quins next week and it will all be forgotten.

Agreed! To think otherwise is just plain dumb. The league is the most competitive it has been for a long time and with the exception of Salford who are taking their time to adjust, there are no easy games.

For me, this is the best team we have played this season. They beat us down the middle and looked very good going forward. I thought we made some very poor choices tonight in attack and i dont think we respected the ball enough to win the game.

Dont think Mr Halibut had a great game either. But the best team won. A kick up the backside maybe? One bad point for me was picking Moa on the bench and only playing him for 10 mins. If he's fit then so be it, surely he is capable of more than 10 mins?

The game was there to be won tonight and we came up short. A great following from cas too. Best team won...

move on and lets not be picking out bad performances as we lost as a team... well done Cas

We beat ourselves last night. Cas were there for the taking but we stood off too much and let them move the ball and grow in confidence.
Too much 1 man rugby crept in . More mistakes made last night than in the previous 5 games put together.
2 points and the chance to go top thrown away by Hull FC.
