Taylor out is a blow, but we have good cover at prop, chance for one of the young kids.

I was mocked a bit pre season when I said Masi will put pressure on Gree this season, be interesting who Radders picks for bench prop against Cas on Saturday.

In fact tough to pick the 17, a few young lads pushing the more established players.

Quite a headache for Radders, but I'm sure its one he welcomes. I thought all of the youngsters were outstanding today.

Haven't seen the game but sounds like a fantastic effort by all particularly the younger squad members. Yet again shows having faith in playing younger squad members in their correct positions is likely to be a better option than a tired/not fully fit senior player.

Let's hope their upward progression gets a chance to flourish, we're still well short in the halfbacks and 3/4s (coming through) though which has been an ongoing problem for the club, we've always been very strong in the forwards dept.

It shows what a great job Radford is doing a the club, he has managed the young players superbly, bringing them in at the right time, loaning them out etc.

Obviously it would be great to bring young players through it all positions, but I'm confident with Radford this will start to happen.

Thought all the players did the club proud, and a special mention for all the young players.Wish we had commentators like Andrew Voss and Mark Gasnier.

He's done a great job. To push an NRL club so close in their own back yard with twelve Hull lads (plus Masi who learnt his trade here) out of twenty three is remarkable.

The difference between Voss/Gasnier to the SKY muppets is like comparing a top sports caller to Eddie Waring when he had dementia and was still 'commentating' and I think that's being generous on the SKY team tbh.
Needs a root and branch change but hopefully IF we can sell the next set of broadcasting rights outside of SKY (Free to air preferably) it'll matter not. It's clear SKY don't give a fook about RL anymore.
