Another game we never looked like losing. Bradford were seriously poor with ball in hand.

And yet we shipped 24 points against them. A bit worrying?

Definetly. Like against Hudds we are having these lapses in otherwise excellent defence and we seemily can't turn our dominance to kill the game and teams will improve as the season goes on.

However saying that providing Agar and the coaching staff can keep us improving (and its been a massive improvement on the attitude of last season IMO) then I think we have a good season in front of us.

Another excellent win - and we are some way from our best too.

It took us until round 17 last season to reach double figures for league points.

A couple of them were soft tries, one off the back of a poor decision. Agar said it was our best performance of the season against the toughest pack we've faced so far and that the team were saying how physical a game it had been. Not sure I'd agree it was our best performance but we always had a decent cushion. As I said before, I'm a bit concerned with the amount of work Dowes and Cusack are having to put in every week. Sam Moa can only be used for very short stints at the moment and Thackray is very much being (correctly) used for impact, so they're really putting in the work. Would be great if we could get Lauaki here and King back to share the work a bit.

They threw the ball around in an attempt to get back into the game but we always had too much for them. I thought the ref kept them in the game especially in the first half but overall I was amazed how comfortable we looked throughout.

The ones on the whistle yes but 1 came off a dodgy pass that BENTham missed and the other a kick that bounced all over and they broke out and BENTham pinged us for offside after we had got back.

Minimum of two tries were ref assisted, these so called officials are holding our game back, they are an embarrassment to the game.

Was very impressed today. They scored a couple of fairly fortunate tries from loose bouncing balls and alike and we shouldn't have shipped 24 but to be honest we were miles the better team in all areas. Willie was outstanding - best performance I've seen from him possibly ever in a Hull shirt and 80 minutes worth of it too. Yeamo was international class today in attack and defence and overall not a bad player in the pale blue. Scored some great tries and always looked in command. Very impressive and the players deserve more plaudits than they are getting outside of the club and its fans.
