Totally agree with all of that.

Although if we beat Widnes and everyone around us wins as well it will be meaningless to some.

After all our recent woes, I'm just enjoying the victory.

Credit where credit is due. Congratulations to everyone at the club.

However, if we do go on a fantastic run and now go on to win the Challenge Cup, Grand Final and also secure the World Club Championship, it will mean nothing to me this time next year.

Well that's a great result for mine, regardless of how other sides have done. Big morale boost for the team and the fans - especially those that have travelled. And a close match that we've managed to win for the first time in a long while.

Winning under pressure at the end is the most pleasing aspect for me, as we've generally fallen apart in tense games.

Much needed win. Three vital home games now.

Hope Widnes have a physical game in France.

Very telling that Widnes have left 6 players at home,they will be looking to come and win friday.

With the other two teams directly above Cas are Cats and Widnes on 7 kicking off at 17:00. Widnes getting beat and then us taking them Friday could , could just start some sort of climb up the table.

Lets stick to worrying about our own games for now and enjoy the victory.

Yup. They've clearly targeted Friday as the more winnable game, and who can blame them?

Indeed, we'd have done the same, especially since Catalan's game on Thursday was so easy it was pretty much a training session.

Excellent news. If Cats beat them (and they've started well) then that gives us a great opportunity to go above Widnes on Friday.

As a side issue I'd love to see Elliot Whitehead in a Hull FC shirt. Top player.
