God Almighty, how nerve-wracking was that!!!  I haven't been that much on edge watching the Fc since Chris Sandow made a half-break at Wembley 2016 with 79:45 on the clock!!!!


Echo what everyone else has said tonight, we may still be a little short on quality but the attitude and commitment that JC has instilled into the side in less than six months is nothing short of incredible, remembering the disorganized mess he walked into late last year.
That attitude and commitment we saw tonight is what we were all hoping for as a bare minimum, but we seemed to have suddenly rediscovered it in spades

There is obviously still a long way to go this season but we seem to have a team we can be proud in and get behind once more, fantastic atmosphere in the ground tonight.


Asiata and Sezer in the middle will turn out to be two of the most inspired signings we have made in a very long time if they continue to maintain this standard and influence on the side in the months to come.


I'll never get to sleep tonight, my head is spinning around that much right now!!!!  

Bourouh 60 tackles in the middle with only 1 miss

Awesome effort from him.

A truly heroic effort, not many pundits gave us a chance .The assists by Cust & Asiata were top drawer

For Sezer's conversions to hit the post twice is so unfortunate.. 
Obviously plaudits will go to Carty in prepping the team, but the improvement in the players fitness from Jon Clarke & Tom Bennett in such a short space of time is frankly unbelievable.
Personally I feel once Knight, Watts & Eseh get match fit, we'll be a lot better, wouldn't mind seeing Ashworth in place of Lane, and also Knight to replace Aydin This would give us more grunt to dent the oppositions defensive line 
Rapana is wasted at centre, but unfortunately we don't have anyone else.  
For Leigh, Armstrong is an amazing player, also I thought Niu was a real handful.
All in all, a  great team performance 

Last night was the proudest I've been in FC for a long time, Leigh's quality in the backline and the two sin bins should've meant we lost that game, but we didn't, if anything, the sinbins and refs decisions fired the team up even more - can't remember us being as determined not to lose a game in a long while

We seem a bit smarter too, closing down every drop goal, not panicking on 6 agains etc - recent years teams would've just let Lam slot one over at the first opportunity 

People have mentioned the lack of size in our pack, but last night it felt that our pack got the better of Leigh, whereas they edged it in the quality of their backline, Niu and Armstrong are two very good pickups for them. 


The video refs definitely need to speed things up - if they have the evidence they need from camera angle 1, you don't need to check 4 other angles! 

Magnificent effort last night and the hardest earned point we are likely get for a very long time.

The way the players rallied when down to 12 then 11 men was really pleasing and impressive

In the last few years we would have collapsed and the game would have been over but Cartwright has instilled a real team spirit



The decisions throughout were totally baffling and it wasn't just Hull supporters saying this on social media

I genuinely think the ref anf video ref were not sure on the rule re the Briscoe incident.

Only four games in and the improvements brought in by Myler and Cartwright are clear to see



Some crazy match stats even given the extra ten minutes

As has been said, Bourouh with 61 tackles and Cartwright with 54

Seven players going over 100 metres

Thought Lane, Cartwright and Asiata were really good, and they all played 80+ minutes which allowed a much better rotation for the props

Not sure why Aydin didn't play more, thought he was maybe injured but then he came back on in GP

Bourouh playing about 86 minutes was massive too

The attack looked so much better from where we've been, really good to see. 


Just got to keep backing that up now, the benchmark has been set.
