Guisset, KB on a plating, was however replaced by Ferriol at the end of five minutes of play only, but that did not remove anything with the heat the Catalans, who made equal play with their hosts, until the test Mogg. Used on a step by its former fellow-member for Canberra, Croker, author of a master key to small onions, the athletic center blood and gold misled the local rampart of an interior hook. Edge of the key, or almost, Gorrell transformed. Opposite, one continued then with correctly making circulate the balloon, but Airlie Birds butted constantly against a heated red defense with white and supérieurement organized.
The public sang in vain with deployed throat, the bird black and white wing in spite of a healthy offensive management of the ball beat. With the image of Briscoe, which however released the ustensil at the moment to flatten (27). Or of Yeaman, failing in its turn of a hair, a few moments before the end of this first period disputed on a false rate/rhythm and dominated territorialement by the buildings, but in vain. Hull FC, with the play more untied than that of its rival, had very tested, but the heroic defense of the Catalans had made it turn in she-ass forty minutes during.
Rescue of Murphy
Obviously remained to know if the visitors would not pay soon this creditable amount of efforts, even with Guisset, of return on the ground, with the recovery. Because Hull lit from the start fire, Carvell falling nevertheless on a bone with a handle centimetres from the Catalan line of in-goal. Sanctioned for an illegal plating, lesvisiteurs conceded their first points with the 49e, but then Pelo made its number on the left wing. With the profit of Guisset, at the price of a lifting master key, and the Catalan captain giving again inside for Duport. A test of great class, rewarding the spirit for initiative found of the visitors (10-2). Because if the occasions of tests had, in rather rare first half, summer, those to ignite were differently more numerous. Including on behalf of Hull, Sing, shifted on traditional attack, allowing its team to restick with the score. Then Tickle made a success of its second penalty, consecutive with the inflicted warning with Chan (10-10). To twelve, Roussillonnais suffered. Murphy saved a test with the foot, for the second time of the afternoon, Hull missed the drop by a hair, Tickle blow-frank, in skew, and another drop missed its target. Lastly, Croker in extremis caught up with Briscoe left in against. The wheel of misfortune had thus not turned to the detriment of the Catalans being satisfied of this null match which in known as length known their capacity of resistance this season. Without speaking about the promises in attack posted yesterday by Pelo, Mogg and Duport.
In Hull, Herve Girette
