For me it was a game that I will remember for two things really that wonderful score by Ratu (already probably a candidate for the June try of the month) and another game saving and brilliant restart kick by Sneyd that saw Salford mess up big style at the death.

So what’s incorrect about JTP has put?

As our defence this season has been shocking as the pts difference shows. It is indeed something that needs sorting as we could quite easily have lost had Salford not messed up the restart.
We seem to have a real problem in attitude/concentration and just collapse.
One of the cornerstones of Hull FC when Radford took over was the defence but now it’s terrible.
Yes it was 2pts and good to get but yet again we capitulated which is a concern.

I don’t like individuals being singled out, but JTP is correct about the defence in general. Singling out Faraimo is harsh given that two tries went in when we were down to 11 and another two of theirs were Pauli barge overs .

Can’t remember seeing any comments regarding the tries we bombed whic would have put us out of sight.

Thought Green was wrongly sin binned. As for Griffin, I was sat in the West Stand so difficult to comment but it didn’t look great. Would expect EGP and 2 games.

A win is a win, we scored some great tries, but as Radford said in RH, plenty to work on

My thoughts are we are not giving enough cover on that side. Sat in the south stand you can see the isolation at times . It does need sorting. But a win is a win.and if Calsburg did drama for Rugby teams we are the boys

Do you know what, I have serious doubts you actually attend matches, your quips are funny and rueful, but as a true supporter I don’t believe you, your quoting home and away points difference against a side who destroyed Cats in their own back yard, pushed Saints all the way, and we’ve just done the double over them, yes you’ll lord it that rovers beat them, you had to be there, and I’m pretty sure you wasn’t.

Doubt all you want mate. I was there. Got pizzing wet through walking to the ground, watched some good stuff from us in attack but bl00dy awful defence on our left edge. Fairamo isn't the only one. Mini drops off far too many tackles, griffins 1 on 1 defence isnt great and sneyd is a little half back who gets spotted so we probably have the 4 worst defenders stood together defending that side which is why we shipped 6 tries down there last night. Admittedly 2 were whilst we were.

Why do you think they didn't score down our right hand side despite having hastings on that edge?
Like too many fans, you don't really seem to see what's actually going on on the pitch.

We need some axcou tant to do us a pie chart of where we concede tries but I doubt shell don't as she didn't do the last one I asked for

Fact is we have conceded the most points in sl. Do you think that is acceptable? Admittedly we have played one more game than some team but it's hardly the point. Defensively were one of the worst in the comp and it needs sorting. Some of it is attitude and some of it structure but it's the coach's job to sort it

Looked to me that inu landed flat on his back fortunately so might go in griffins favour but I expect a ban. It wasnt malicious but certainly an illegal tackle and we can have no complaints about the red card

Even worse than the defensively fragile Leeds is a worry

I'd be more worried if we were 3rd from bottom rather than 4th from top.

Indeed but with improved defence we likely be nearer the top and in with more of a chance of winning something

Let's be honest, hardly any of us thought we would be anywhere near challenging this season, so if we get anywhere close with our squad then that's a bonus.
