HULL FC were denied an impressive opening day win over Warrington Wolves as the visitors crossed for a last minute try to level the scores at 20-20.

The Black and Whites had looked like starting with a win at the KC Stadium, only for a late try from Rhys Evans to earn a point for the Wolves.

Hull had gone toe-to-toe with the Wolves, many pundits' favourites to be Grand Final winners, with tries from Kirk Yeaman, Tom Briscoe and two from Danny Tickle (2) putting their noses in front 20-16 in the latter stages. 

The Wolves scored through Trent Waterhouse, Rhys Williams and Simon Grix before Evans crossed in the dying stages.

Coach Peter Gentle said: "I thought we did enough to get the win. Our attack was putting too much pressure on our defence though by turning the ball over too early in the tackle count. Many of our errors were unforced which was disappointing. We gave them soft tries off the back of errors and penalties.

"I think we improved from last week though and I think we still have a lot of improvement in us as the season progresses."

Hull had started the game without half-back Brett Seymour and prop Eamon O'Carroll through injury.

Gentle confirmed Seymour had injured his knee against Bradford, and had an operation yesterday morning. He will miss next week against Catalan but it is hoped he will be fit to face London the following week.

O'Carroll suffered a back injury in training last week and missed the game with ligament damage, although he has not been ruled out of next weekend's trip to face Catalan.

    “25JG24 why arent my comments balanced? just cos you dont agree with them? Surely every team wants to finish top,would you rather play a full strength wire or a weakened one? And regardless of whether the trip to aussie wasnt a jolly,26 hours on a plane isnt ideal regarding match preparation.I have looked at team sheet for sunday,briers wasnt playing,so therefore he was missing from starting 13,and unlike your playmaker,yet to start a competitive game,briers can turn matches and warrington are stronger when he plays,hence, weakened team.Seems to me that you dont read posts properly.Rovers were beat by a better team on friday,like i said,long hard season for both teams.the top 6 of last season are gonna take some shifting.”

    “Joy, Wire were not missing Briers, they chose not to play him, big difference. Yesterdays result will look good regardless of what happens later, we played well against a top side. They went to Australia to prepare for this match, it wasn't a jolly. We were missing 3 players too, one of them a key play maker. And far from dropping a point, Wire had a kick to win the game so I will take what we got and reflect on a positive opening match, see how many positives you can dig out of Fridays game!Try and be more balanced with your comments!”

    “Eddy (HomelesDobin)

    what IS your problem? you have now been banned five times today yet still you register more email accounts and post your warped messages.

    Shouldn't you be running your pretend property empire instead of posting the disturbing contents of your messed up head?”

    “the time for making noise is at end of the season,hkr went above you on the last game of the season,as Fergie often says,titles arent won in feb.The wire were missing Briers,a tour of aussie,and while it might look like a good result,later in season it might not seem so good.Fair play to hfc but to finish top,which i am sure fc fans belive they should be,you carnt afford to drop points against your weakened rivals.long hard season for all teams.”

    “Thanks for the information on the derby fixture change in July, much appreciated. I suspected that it had something to do with SKY wanting to televise the game. It's such a shame because it really is a great sporting event for the city, though I suppose it could redeem the worst night of the week, depending on the result of course. I understand SKY and the money but let's hope the Great Game never turns into anything like the ugly one.
    I also hope that all our overseas signings have made their Super League debuts by that point.”

    “"As part of RL's commitment to SKY money", they have agreed to shift games to Monday nights. Presumably because SKYs first and foremost interest is Premier League football, and they don't want RL to compete with that. Being the main event on a Monday night is better than being on SKY Sports 3 on a Friday night, when somethign else is on.”

    “hullinoman

    Sky have moved some games to a Monday. They will be televised.
    It's going to be a regular thing.”

    “The atmosphere sounded great on the radio so I hope Mr Gentle can keep the momentum. Disappointing to concede the try right at the end, though having watched Wade Mckinnon last year at West Tigers, I'm not surprised. He was dropped to their bench mid way through the season and the last time I saw him start for them at full back he made a couple of poor mistakes and they switched him to the wing. I suppose he has to play now that he's been bought so let's hope he improves. I can't understand why we bought Brett Seymour either. He rarely played for the Warriors last season, and stood no real chance of displacing Shaun Johnson/James Maloney. I'd much prefer us to give more local lads a chance, and it was great to see young Mr Nicklas starting.
    Fingers crossed for the French game next week and good luck to our East Hull cousins too.

    Finally, does anyone know why the derby has been switched to Monday July 23rd? I'd planned to build my summer around that Friday night and it looks like I'll be in with a DVD now.”

    “At this stage of the season it's about developing team structures and set plays.

    Catalan (my outside tip for the grand final) will be extremely difficult next week.

    The atmosphere was superb and something CityHull supporters could learn a lot from. but anyway....

    Looking froward to the trip to France.”

    “We should have won, no question. Individual errors cost us the 2points.
    Tickle & Houghton (outstanding)
    Wade will not be happy when he looks back at the video.

    I expected Wire to pull away second half, our bench looked light,I was wrong so well played.”
