For all the stick the Hull FC new forwards are getting Peta Hiku has hardly had the debut of dreams either...

Agree, looks garbage, can't kick goals either.

He's a fine player but an absolute ßhitehawk at times.

He’s competitive - it’s great to see, we need characters like that  

[Padge]

Hull , especially Tony Smith, have been lucky on the injury front. They have a vague attempt to excuse this performance.

It won't wash though.

It seems Hull are carrying on from last term, common denominator Mr Smith?

I think Smith has been past his sell by date as a top end coach for a few years now. I don't think he has it in him to build much more than a mid table club these days. Probably more suited to a director of rugby role providing a sounding board to a younger coach

In relation to…

[MZH]

Ashworth has been our best player by a mile. Although the bar is very low.

You couldn't make this many unforced errors if you tried. Woeful.

As my old History master who also ran the school rugby team used say, "JohnM, you're holding the ball like it was a greasy t**."

[Leyther_Matt]

Proper walk in, that. Hull are AWFUL.

Yeah i've been impressed with Ashworth, although i've rated him since his loan spell at Leigh back in early 2019 where he absolutely monstered the Toulouse pack almost single handedly. I was a little disappointed we didn't go in for him this year to be honest.

[Andrewj]

The commentary is far superior compared to the last few years. Thank god Phil and his grandma jumpers has finally gone !!

[meast]

What's with the close up camera angles?

It's a bit confusing

[MZH]

Some good goal line defence there and then let ourselves down by just assuming they would kick.

Hard to defend too many sets with a man down

[JonNgog]

Hiku trying everything he can to keep FC in the game…

[Agbrigg]

Another easy miss by that Hiku. Guy is useless, why they persist with him I do not know. James Barchelor is a fantastic goal kicker

As McDermot used to say when commenting on Wigan games "its a bladder of lard".

I disagree, he looks like he is trying to get a contract at Hull FC. He would fit in perfectly

[bratman]

Over 20k, great crowd

[MZH]

At least we've showed a bit of heart in the second half, but still very poor.

Only slightly more than the number of FC handling errors.

[Gerrumonside ref]

What a kick haha

[DavidM]

Deary me Hiku has got his feet on the wrong legs

[The 4 of Us]

Wow

Hic….Hic…..Hiccup. 
He’s drunk!

[Coggo]

Is Hiku kicking off his wrong foot just to rub it in?
