Tom Grant seeing everything Saints way?

Knock on by Bennison missed.

That wasn’t a ball steal on Sironon.

Can’t understand why Saints aren’t also get pinged for 6 again. Must be nano seconds between our offences and there’s, which go unpunished..

Our discipline still requires major attentIon.

Agreed and neither are the passes that have frequently been thrown forward, though we seem to be collared.

Think with the players already missing and Hoy & Brown gone, with Okunbor not even making the 17, I just can’t see him being here much longer.

It’s really is men against boys tonight when comparing the 2 sides. So far despite the errors and penalties the effort and desire is there to see.

Let's not start whinging. We've got away with some forward passes let's not have a needless pop at the ref. There's no agenda from Grant.
I'm just happy watching Hull have a dig for the first time this season.

Cannot knock the effort but no real field position until 38 minutes.

What a great experience this is for those young guys. A half of just basically defending and a fast paced game.

I expect us to fall of a bit in the latter stages, but besides the scoreline, it's been one of our better first halfs, effort wise, so far this season.

You realise Pele is a young kid aswell right? He's got some improvements to make but I'm confident he'll come good.

Not a chance, work rate isn’t there, and he’s an absolute liability in defence.

Hope we can also look at improving our passing at the PTB.

I don’t like Rugby Union, but amazes me how their scrum halves can continually throw long, accurate spinning passes into someone’s stomach but the majority of our PTB passes are thrown above the receiver’s head. It’s just a basic skill that could be important to give us another marginal gain.

As for Cam Scott, coming up with a forward pass on an attacking PTB is just criminal.

My biggest gripe tonight is the god awful commentary team.

So that’s a huge improvement on our performances
