Outstanding effort, biggest plus for me was how the young kids stood up and didn't look out of place.

I'd challenge any Hull fan to disagree that Radford isn't doing an amazing job with our young players

Think Lane's try should have stood.

Very proud and exciting about the future

Club have tweeted that there were 13 academy players in the team. Not sure who they're including in that but impressive stat regardless.

I'd certainly trust his judgement on when to bring them in; thought they were fantastic today against a hugely physical side.

What a journey over the last two years. Incredible that we're on Sky Sports Main Event live from Australia. Unthinkable at the start of 2016.

What a confidence boost for someone like Lane. The experience of a lifetime.

Really enjoyable game. More than good enough to have beaten the vast majority or super league, and if both teams kept out their first choice teams I feel we would have gone on to win. Their youngsters are just better than ours, But what an experience it will have been for them. Not one of them looked out of place. Masi is really gonna make a name for himself in this sport.

Yeah it sucked to lose last week, but apart from that this trip has been nothing but positive.

On to the next game, Looking at the 2 sides I expect a win for Wigan coming up.

really great effort today, invaluable experiences for all, and can only have done the club no end of good

"Enjoyed that game there my team I going to follow in English super league go dragons"

A comment I've just seen on the Dragons Facebook page. I imagine there will be quite a lot of their fans following suit. Great stuff!!

Re: St George Illawarra Dragons : Sat Feb 17, 2018 8:52 am  

reat effort and we looked much better with ball in hand. watts was great and we saw much more from sneyd and kelly. All of the young players looked a step up from where they were last season.

Anyone else shouting at the TV for us to take the 2 at 18 all with 15 or so to go???

Anyway, on to wigan v souths reserves

Been superb hasn't it? Not to mention the alleged half a million quid.
