Bradford are dog poor. They're going to suffer this year in SL. We've got a lot of defensive work to do if we want to finish mid-table this year.

I just want a Championship squad to beat a SL team soon. I know it's FT vs PT but i think it can happen sooner or later.

I agree about Bradford. Such high scoring games are rarely down to excellent attacking play, it's usually down to terrible defence.

We've beaten SL teams in this division before, so have Barrow, so have your lot haven't you? You usually get one every two or three seasons.

Not sure. Last significant one i can remember was HKR doing Warrigton. Maybe my recent memory isn't up to scratch?

I was cheering for your lot today and it was a shame you couldn't hang on at the end.

indeed. i was particularly impressed with sam barlows approach, not even bothering with making a proper tackle before getting stuck in with some biff, nor even waiting for another tackle to be made first

Didnt Cas get beat at home by Barrow last season? (or was it Whitehaven?)

Re: Hull FC at home : Sun May 08, 2011 7:19 pm

Fax just lost to Castleford mate by a drop goal.I think Leigh would have beaten Bradford today, as i thought both teams dropped alot of the ball.If we can improve our defence i think we can give them a game.

It was Fax who lost today to Bradford. Leigh played Catalans.

Sorry i worded that incorrectly.I was mentioning that Fax gave Castleford a close game last year or the year before. As littlerich and you was talking about a team from the Championship beating a Superleague team.It is possible as some good players in the Championship.

It will happen some day mate and Leigh where unlucky.Bradford where poor and a few Championship sides would have beat them today.I respect the Championship, and even though we are going into Superleague i would advise our scouts to watch alot of Championship rugby.Plenty of talent and rich thankyou for the support. You nearly beat Castleford a few years ago?

Lest we forget we beat Cas not long ago in the challenge cup. There were new to super league at the time. It can be done. Let's hope our lads know that when they play Hull.
