He has reallt kicked on, still think he's a 2nd row not a centre due to lack of pace though.

I reckon he's faster than Carlos and Sutcliffe, although both aren't exactly flyers.

Some clowns in here at times. First half poor but still went in level. Our defence has been very good for weeks and was today. Got our attack going second half, we are going to massively miss Swift and Satae. Cam Scott getting better by the game, good too see Barron get a start.

Yep no denying losing Swift & Satae is going to be a big miss especially Swift.

Scott is definitely faster than Carlos and Sutcliffe
Last season probably not but he had been working on adding weight and muscle to the detriment of the pace he had when younger.
This season he has been working very hard on his pace and its paying off

Fair points on Scott and tbf to all younger players in SL 2020 was a wasted year for their development given the break in the season and then the stop start nature of the covid absences

Watching Hull City play a totally poop game
but get a penalty win at the end sure does excite soccer fans because all they care about is the win

Rugby league thankfully is different

The first half was shoite house and a decent Leigh side would be 12 up at half time with us playing like that

The 2 points is not all that counts as playing shooite and winning catches you up pretty quick

we MUST get excellent at the basics !

Really feel for Andy Last, he's inherited an old, slow team, their best player is done for the season and the board seem oblivious/uninterested with their situation, looking over at Wakefield who seem to be throwing the kitchen sink at staying up must be demoralising.

Their cap management looks to be awful giving out multi year contracts/extensions to aging, past it players. Kenny Edwards got a 3 yr extension at 33/34 players like Vete and Widdop seem past it or not bothered. If they manage to stay up there's a hell of a rebuild needed.

I will forever be thankful to Radders for the days I had at Wembley but signing Fonua after his disasterous 2nd Hull spell is criminal.

I can only imagine what would have happened if Hull sacked him after that long run of defeats in 2018 and appointed someone as experienced as Smith.

We got the win, that's all that matter, but thought we were poor, particularly first half, Cas were awful, think they are in big trouble, some of the trys we scored were awful.

Satae was outstanding I've been critical of hom, but when he's on his game, there isn't a better prop in SL, thought Dywer played well too, Scott excellent.

Litten is going to be some player, will make the odd mistake, but plays what's in front of him, strong runner and so much enthusiasm.
