Thought it was a good game today for a hit out, The best thing for me was Abdull performance, he could really be a good player for us this year, Connor just looks class, positive performance today imo,

Your right about Abdull but with a full squad where do you play him?
Connor in a different class.
Poor errors from Kick offs once again

Really pleased the the performance, if we could handle kick offs we would have won. Connor was the best player on the pitch, Rovers really struggled to handle him, scored two great try's and a hand in another, plus kicked a 40/20. What a talent.

Though the other two stand out where, Abdul and Hakim. Rest of the young players stood up well to a strong Rovers side.

Think Radford will be very happy, certainly a massive improvement on last year for the youngsters.

Really excited about this season and the future with the squad we have, what a great just the coaching staff are doing with the young players.

Miloudi looked to have a bit about him but his heads all over the place.

Re: Friendly : Sun Jan 14, 2018 6:52 pm  

I didn;t go but good to hear we stood up well. Did connor sign a contract extension last year or was I dreaming it? If not we need to get him tied down long term. A real maverick but massively talented

Well to say we had our best 12 (Connor and Sneyd apart) players missing that was an excellent, if surprisingly close, result. And importantly just Litten with a knock. Radford will be very satisfied I reckon.

Thought so! Cheers

Thought Hull did well but Rovers too did have a whole host of automatic picks absent..plus 2 others leave the field early with injuries.

Hull were the more weakened though I would have to admit especially in the forwards so they stood up well. Abdull was IMO the best player on the pitch and if he sits out most games this season it will be a real waste. Still, if he should prove excess to your requirements there remains a place for him in the east of the city for sure. We enjoyed each others company in 2017 there is no doubt.

Two years ago Hull put us to the sword in this fixture and it really did send out a statement for both teams. This time it was a proper friendly apart from a brief punch up and everyone made up at the end.

Hull had a lot of quality missing today but rovers I'm not sure. Who was missing for you? If you don't pick up a few more quality players between now and the season starting you'll likely be bottom 4 at the split
