Nathan must have been a bit concerned with the way Hull dominated us up front in the opening stages of this one.Moa coming into prop made a big difference to their go forward from last week,plus there were a couple of less than robust efforts by the Fartown players as a couple of FC players made busts through our line.A slow start and giving up 14 points to the likes of Wigan or Warrington will be tough to come back from.
HFC did go wide much more often than last week.The way they did open us up for a couple of tries when they got the field position was a concern.At that stage the alarm bells were loudly ringing.We all knew a score before HT was vital and what a peach of a cut out pass it was from KB.
There was a strong breeze though blowing north to south,over the back of the stand where we were sitting and our players had it's advantage in the second half.Hull missed the penalty to touch and after that it was just one way traffic.When Leroy gets a spilt ball with the field open in front of him,you can as they say 'put the glasses down' as it's try time,he will always go the length.
We kept rotating our big men off the bench in half two and Hull FC wilted.
A very tough cup 4th round draw given to us this one,well negotiated in the end.
