Not any more!

[Futtocks]

Drop goal from Gale!

[chuffer]

Millington lucky to avoid a penalty there!

Nailbiter...

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Shaul should've got the winger away then but went for glory and cost Hull the game maybe?

[chuffer]

Lol @ that pass

[snapski]

Get in. Sculthorpe on talkSPORT saying Cas would get smashed. Aye alright.

[Red robin]

Good game. Fantastic result.

[dkw]

Bloody enjoyed that, great to see half backs taking the line on compared to the saints, Wigan and Leeds ones.

[Futtocks]

That was a really entertaining last 15 minutes. Could have gone either way and I wouldn't have minded.

[Futtocks]

As someone who doesn't like the idea of Thursday games, it is just a little bit annoying that most of this season's most entertaining matches so far have happened on, erm, Thursday. 

[marklaspalmas]

I never actually 'enjoy' a Cas win but that was a good game.

[jacksy]

Looks like the FC players believe the hype

[Cake Tiger]

Cracking win - don't think too many will take points from the KC this season. 

 

I think the video ref got out of jail with Michaels putting his foot in touch - it looked he wasn't going to disallow it for obstruction. Would have been a travesty.

 

Surprised Hull didn't test young Jai Hitchcox with high kicks more. Also thought Cas' kicking options on the last tackle were poor.

 

Finally, I wish Sky would stop showing the other game when the main game is in play. Just show it at the end or half-time or at least when the ball is dead.

[BBR]

Great game

From Twitter, the following exchange.

#AskSkyRl will Stevo be upset he's not been there and someone's kicked a one pointer?

SC: He was there in spirit and we all heard him shouting for one! #SLHulCas #AskSkyRL

That was a really enjoyable match to watch as a neutral and I do enjoy the way Cas play the game.

 

I can't help but think that tomorrow's fayre will be a lot different, and not in a good way.

Great game. Horrible for the heart....but great attack, big hits, drama, had it all.

Take it back about Hitchcox did well and try saver on Shaul near end. Crooks played well too holding his own in defence.

Benny Roberts deserves alot of credit for me, did a brilliant job in defence shoring that side up, helped with Tumavavie and kept Pritchard largly in check. Couple of try savers holding players up over the line (Shame he didn't make MOM had him at 25 to 1!).

Good 2nd half from our forwards. Massey helped alot for me when he came on good work rate and some clever play. Dorn was very good too. The Solomona/Webster partnership speaks for itself. Are their any better wingers then Solomona in SL at the moment?

For Hull thought Shaul was excellent. The pack is the most formidable in SL.

Went for the wrong winger with my hatrick bet although nice little profit from Solomona anyway (had him for 1st try, 1st in 2nd half and last) so a couple came in!

young Jai Hitchcox

Agree with the rest if you post but been padantic, isn't he 26?

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Didn't deserve to win. Although we were good with ball in hand, we were dropping off way too many tackles. Our first contact was awful. Getting bumped a lot, giving an enthusiastic Cas side easy yards and allowing space to offload time and time again.

We had plenty of chances to win, but fair play to Cas' defence which held us out and forced us into wrong options. Disappointed with the result and plenty to work on in defence.

Back down to Earth. At least we were top of the league again for a little while!

[Ullman]

Absolute cracker of a game. I'm going to watch it again right now.

A match that would be well worth seeing more than once.

[Exiled Wiganer]

Hitchcox had a glorious half hour.

(apologies if that was first made pages ago)

Superb game, 2 terrific teams who will win a lot of games and in great style. I love watching Shaul play - he has an air of Steve Prescott with ball in hand. Gale was fabulous. FC will roll many teams over - indeed, it would not surprise me if Cas are the only ones to win there. TGG.

We seem to have a few fullbacks coming through of the same generation - Jamie Shaul, Niall Evalds and Matty Russell (to name just three off the top of my head) are all about the same age and are entertaining, enterprising and exciting players.

I thought it was Tony Hancock rather than Alfred Hitchcock who got the half hour slot?
