Think Houghton really stepped it up in the second half. Was quiet first half but maybe just looked that way because there was so much going on all over the pitch. But some great dummy half runs in the second half, a nice break with a quick tap penalty that unfortunately nobody was quick enough to support him on. Thought he looked really good.

I did get concerned a few times about our left edge defence. Far too often Leeds had an overlap and if they had a half who could throw a half decent pass would have ran in a couple more trys down that side. Thankfully on 3 occasions Faraimo was able to get a hand to the ball.

Onwards and upwards. Wakey will be a big test.

Who cares what they do or do not, did you really go to this match, without Westy we didn’t click in the rain, but we defended like champions, sensational Massi, one who has benifitted from last season, an inspirational performance a lot of the time without Westy Tag and Ellis.

Defended like champions? We missed 38 tackles in the match which isn't championship defence. leeds found it pretty easy to march us up the field but were then completely inept near the line plus our goal line defence was pretty good on the whole.

We'll have to be much better next week if we're going to beat wakefield and we need westerman playing 60 minutes or so for us to be a real attacking threat

Good to see both our half backs on the score sheet and the outside backs carried the ball really well. manu had his best game in a long time. I think he's been playing injured for so long now we've probably forgotten how good he can be so hopefully he'll stay clear of niggles for the rest of the season.

It's noticeable we're playing a more expansive game which is good to watch and having some real punch on the bench really made a difference last night so fingers crossed we can stay relatively injury free from here on in, get some players back and have a good tilt at the top 5

Just watched the tries again, that Snyed and Shaul tries was top quality , yeh agree about playing more expansive , long may it continue

Didn’t count the tackles we missed, just saw the tackles which stopped numerous try attempts, what points did they score in the second half, without Ellis Westy and Tag off.

Then again I’m a half glass full sort of guy, rather than Leeds inept three quarters, I saw Carlos Kelly Massi and Sika and our two wingers doing a number on their backs. Well played Hull we were great after that nightmare beginning.

I just hope we dont go back to last few seasons style of play once we get some forwards back , because Radford has said more than once that the reason we are playing like we are is because of our lack of props . Hopefully not though .

Thought the Leeds following was disappointing, also was some trouble amongst them.

Nice to see John Maloneys son, remembered by us.

Really nice to see Tom Briscoe come over and applaud the Hull Fans at the end as usual. Class act that lad!

Did it last season as well. Very classy

We’ve beaten the bottom 3
That’s just what the rugby doctors would order when trying to rebuild confidence
Great news and Wakey are the next level up
Again a great draw IF we are to continue

I bloody hope so

JTP is correct to be concerned re 38 missed tackles against the Leagues worst team

That needs addressing to play Saints Wire Cas

But bloody great news
