Saints the better team overall. Much better at building pressure and forcing repeat sets then we were. Deserved their win, but just a shame we could have nicked it at the end.

Certainly wasn't expecting to still be in the game in the last five minutes so whilst it's a chance gone the performance was encouraging. Pleased for Davy Litten, who didn't look out of place.

We just need to back it up at home to Leigh, hopefully McNamara is available.

If you wanna be the best then you gotta take those chances. If it was too difficult for him then he doesn't have the skills for what's needed to be a winner under pressure. Jack Welsby finishes that all day long.

That's the criteria for having an opinion is it?

McNamara has to come back in place of Lovodua if he’s fit and hopefully Trueman, Carlos and Sutcliffe will be in the 17 before long.

Trueman fit will be massive. Can't keep carrying a half back and expecting to pick up wins. One half of the pitch is just rendered useless really.

Bit harsh that to be fair with the ball bouncing away and dropping it was a tough one to get and certainly not on a plate. Had the ball been bouncing up when Dwyer tried to gather I reckon he would have done so but the bounce just went against rather than for.

Well done Hull FC. Don’t mind getting beat when the effort is there.

When is he due back? Hopefully Carlos and Sutcliffe soon as well.

Not the easiest start to the season fixtureswise, away at both Grand Finalists, and Catalans, in the first 5 rounds. Key now is to show some of that effort in the next few games.

Happy with the attitude and application any other night we get the griffin and dywer trys.

Game smarts i think the drop out before halftime has to be managed alot better.

Think Saints pack outworked ours abit, need our props doing more work with the ball. Otherwise alot better , same team next week make them play for the shirts.

Criticised scott lately but played well tonight as did Griffin, sutcliffe , carlos and trueman to come in and we keep that attitude through the team we l be ok, will give us a platform to rebuild end of season
