It was a deseved and well earned win particularly as we are carrying three or four players who would not get anywhere near a place in most other S/L teams.
Seriously how does Lane keep his place?

Although we played well last night and have got a bit of momentum going

There's still alot of players should go regardless of last 2 games feel keeping some of them would just be papering over the cracks

Fash a prime example some fans love him cause he's "hull through and through" but he's not gunna take us to the next level and that's why we don't ever deliver a season challenging at the top

Well worth rising at the crack of dawn to watch this match. My man of the match was Houghton with over 50 tackles including the try saver on French. His positioning to be where he was to affect the tackle was superb.

Loved the contribution by Lee Briers on the broadcast team - currently he is an assistant coach at the Brisbane Broncos who currently lead the NRL ladder and he confided that he coached Houghton when he played in an under 9's team. Said even at that age he was a player with loads of energy who never gave up.

Hull Boys club, same team as Craig Hall. Briers did a couple of coaching sessions as he is married to Dave Halls daughter, and Dave was the coach at the time.

I was in the same team. Good times, and correct even then he stood out. Could have been a bit older then under 9’s like but won’t of been far off

I think Josh Hodgson played for East Hull under a young coach called Lee Radford.

Yes, but every team needs players like Fash and Cator. You only have to look at their stats each week to see the amount of work they get through.

Although we do really need some more big forwards to compliment these 2 as the second half last proved when we were struggling to make metres.

They're the level we need to get to consistently

I think Josh played in the age group 1 or 2 below, although I am pretty sure Danny played a year above him self anyhow due to development.

He did end up at East Hull, but started at boys club when it was club number 1 in Hull.

RIP brownie, man made it. I only ever park at bonus now in town as a mark of respect to the area and past

We don't need XVII players who would all get into the Saints and Wigan teams.

Enjoyed last night, and we did to Wigan, what Wigan have done to so many teams in the past. Gritty, full of character and desire.

However, Lane was dreadful for me. To get a 4 in the HDM ratings in a performance as gritty and determined as it was, is embarrassing for him. His tackling, grabbing and failure to make yards is really poor. Savelio, even though it looks like he might be leaving, has to play next week instead of Lane. My team for next week if fitness news is correct:

Hoy
Litten
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Swift
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Houghton
Fash
Griffin
Savelio
Cator

Satae
Taylor
Dwyer
Scott (Back row and backs)

Houghton back on the bench for this one Dwyer starting
Think Savelio is a non starter but we need a replacement for Lane.
Like to see Carlos given a run in the second row then we can move Scott into the centre
