A couple of their tries yesterday were of the annoying type that were a bit unlucky tbh. Knock those off the score and it's pretty comprehensive in our favour. One was a breakaway from a charged down kick and the other was one of those lucky loose bouncing balls from a ballsed up offload by them which allowed a (good) break by their centre and a score to follow. Agree we must keep the concentration better especially towards the end of each half but overall we were dominant in every department.

Don't get me wrong - I'm over the moon with our start to the season and chuffed to bits with yesterday's performance. Looking at the tries on Sky News last night shows the huge progress in our attacking game which bodes really well for the rest of the season.

I think my only 'concern' is, as you say, the lapses in concentration towards the end of each half. You can't legislate for the odd stroke of bad luck or dodgy decision from an official.

It is slightly concerning that we've been 'more dominant than the scoreline suggests' in just about every game this season. We need to start reflecting our dominance on the scoreboard, or the better teams will make us pay.

That being said, five wins from five....

I know mate you're right with your concern. I would say that the Huddersfield game was more concerning in respect of not pushing home our advantage than yesterday's.

Im not concerned whilst we keep scoring more than them!

Sky+ed it while the wife was watching Dancing on Ice, cos I wanted to see the Thorman try again because of the fantastic run and offload by Manu and they only showed the last pass. Will have to wait for FCTV and Super League TV now.

Stevo is quite articulate, he just generally articulates rubbish.

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.

Did we watch the same game then?
You can't possibly be moaning about the ref. Some people are never happy.

Hull played well. But indeed you should have won by more. Bradford are dire at the moment and can't string two passes together, to let us score 4 tries.....shocking!
HKR only let us score 1!
