Hull FC boss Simon Grix reacts to woeful London Broncos defeat

HULL FC went down 29-4 to the London Broncos in game one of Magic Weekend at Elland Road.

It was a dreadful performance from the Black and Whites, capped off by an 80th minute yellow card to Denive Balmforth following a late tackle.

And it’s fair to say that Hull boss Simon Grix was disappointed to say the least, speaking to Sky Sports after the game: “We are doing it tough and I just think we are not mentally agile enough when more adversity comes at us we didn’t have an answer.

“The London team are really together, I didn’t think it was a great game for either team and they handled the day and what’s at stake better than us.

“I have no complaint about the result, there is a lot of talk in our group but the actions don’t back it up.

“It looked like a Championship game, it wasn’t the right level for Super League.”
