Ryan Dixon is a local lad who plays for Tollbar ARLFC so I have been told.

Any hull players you think you could do with this year? Any that caught your eye?

Didn’t go to today’s game for exactly the reasons outlined above.

I gave up on ‘friendlies’ a good few years ago and haven’t regretted my decision yet.

Now if only we had a few new signings to get my pulse racing, it might be a different story...

Well done to all that turned up today. No-one has mentioned anything about any injuries being picked up so I’ll settle for that being a positive.

All of them please!

Miloudi and Litten showed their class. Who played number 10 for you today? He seemed like a young lad with some promise. I thought all your guys played well. It should give you plenty of hope that your squad has more depth and is better equipped to deal with any injury issues this season. Surely you can't be hit with the same bad luck as last season. I hope not.

Thanks to all the Hull fans who came over today. I wish we could build up a loyal fan base like yours.

If I had to choose five for the Dons from the Hull players who played today, they'd be: Liam Harris, Hakim Miloudi, Jez Litten, Jack Logan, and either the winger who broke a few tackles or Masi Matongo. But, I suspect, some of these lads will have their sights set on getting first team slots at Hull, not playing Championship One rugby with us.

Jordan Cox ex Hull KR was their no 10

My guess Cox will spend more time playing for Doncaster than Hull.
Rich Horne wants a forward and back on loan but not sure who the forward will be if he gets his way.
It looks like a game every two weeks for Hull reserves so plenty of the young and more experienced players will be in the D/R pool accross the season.

Maybe the dons could build up a bigger fan base as we had in the 80s and 90s but when it’s the same old promise about new signings and 5 year plans every season which never materialised then maybe that’s why the fan base is as it is, what happened to all the decent Aussies and Kiwis we picked up back in the day ??

Masi Matongo will be in the 17 most weeks for us I would imagine. Certainly got bigger in pre season, just needs a bit more aggression

Well next week, we can look forward to a tighter game, assuming Leeds don't put their first team out.

Yesterday showed how weak a side we can be with 4 trialists and no Hull players.

Well done to all 4 trialists, I hope we see more of you.

Next week presumably we will have some Hull players and we will go a lot better.

Brandon Douglas stood out and so did Ryan Dixon, and others did well too.

However our forwards were continually being put on their backsides by the Hull lads, which didn't look very promising for the season ahead.
But full marks to Hull ... they weren't just having a run out were they?
