You have the RFL in your pockets you'll be fine

Langley apparently suffered concussion after clashing heads with Lee Radford. Shouldn't keep him out too long thankfully.

Batley beat Wakefield 18-14 at The Mount.

All credit to Batley Wakefield had Wilkes,Ellis and Amor in the front row with Raleigh off the bench and Mariano in the back row

Langley came out and sat on the bulls bench and looked ok. As for Hull we were much better than last week with Horne and Seymore linking well. The difference in the game was our pack who dominated from the start. Yeaman looked very sharp and so did Moa. Bradford looked ok in spells but they do look short on class in pivotal postitions. Its only a friendly of course but I'm glad we are at least going to hit the season running.

All I can crasp onto is we get a shallacking today and use it as the most perfect motivation for the season ahead. ...

Don't worry with the RFL on your side and your first game against Catalan you'll be fine
They're slow starters so you'll be a banker

I don't how to feel after today to be honest because that was an extremely fired up and physical Hull FC side.

They certainly played todays game from start to finish with the intensity of a full on Super League game.

Was this a direct response to the lackluster and static performance put in Seven days ago against city rivals Hull KR?

Bradford from the word go looked lethargic (at times as if we had just welded the side together in time for kick-off) and in truth we never really recovered from losing the ball from the kick off on tackle number three - this then giving Hull FC the attacking platform deep within our own 20m, for Yeaman via Seymour to expose some fragile weak defence.

Adrian Purtell simply isn't a centre and was caught out on numerous occasions today by Yeaman & Briscoe.

This is before I mention the silly unenforced errors that helped to compile the relentless sustained Hull FC pressure in our half.

The shocking completion rate doesn't lie and tells you that we seriously lack cohesion and stability.

The game was really won up front with the massive Hull FC pack of Moa, Manu, Tickle, O'Meley & O'Carroll just battering us constantly down the middle, before the gaps appeared outwide due to the non existent sliding defence for the Hull FC backline to exploit.

I said this in an earlier thread and I still stand by what I said that losing Andy Lynch is a massive loss and the repercussions we're certainly going to be felt before the news broke that new recruit Manase Manuokafoa would be sidelined for at least two months with a knee injury.

But there was some hope from the performance in that we bombed three clear trying scoring opportunities (Sammut's on the half time hooter was just one example), and that three of the nine Hull FC tries we're simply undefendable such was the expansive style of play.

The first try for Wade McKinnon and Tom Briscoe's 70th minute effort was Rugby League poetry in motion.

Seeing Crookes go the full 90m after a stray pass from Seymour shows that with the Karl Pryce situation still up in the air, we have a player who from a standing start can out pace McKinnon, Briscoe, Yeaman etc.

Langley's clash of heads with testimonial man Radford was rather unfortunate and stopped the game for close to ten minutes while the medical staff attended to him.

From what I was told it was concussion and it was great to see Jamie walking around near the touchline as the game progressed.

In fairness, you can still make out the 'Gillette' logo on the pitch from the 4 Nations game at the KC months ago!

I believe it's also the same at the Racecourse ground in Wrexham.
