Hull FC ratings as Aidan Sezer moments fail to mask under-par team display

Yahooa day ago

Hull FC were defeated 24-10 at Warrington Wolves on Saturday evening. Here are the ratings.
Jordan Rapana - The Kiwi does some good things, and his involvements are plentiful, but there are still too many errors in his game playing at full-back. He'll know that, but it's also a team game, and Hull need to be better collectively. 4

Harvey Barron - Scored a try for the third game in a row. A couple of tough errors when under pressure, but he also stood up defensively at times with one or two big plays. 4

Tom Briscoe - A big moment in the second half could have gone his way if not for a big play from Rodrick Tai to palm back a Hardaker pass. Ifs and buts now. Tried his best; it was just not Hull's day. 5
Davy Litten - Ran strong and was really solid, especially in the first half. Never backed down. Some pressure-relieving plays from Warrington kicks too. Certainly one of Hull's strongest performers. 6

Lewis Martin - Dealt with all kicks and returned the ball strongly. Made one break. Went well as always, even if denied a second-half try with a foot in touch. 6
Cade Cust - Involved in both of Hull's first-half tries, unleashing his half-back partner Aidan Sezer. Always a threat with his running game, but the link at times in attack just wasn't fluent. With John Asiata and Will Pryce out, that's no surprise. Moved to hooker for the last quarter of the game. 5
Aidan Sezer - Had Hull's best moments. His assist to Barron may have been forward, but there was no doubting his own try, running strong to score. Unfortunately, that spell was as good as it got. 6
Herman Ese'ese - Ran strong as always and bumped off plenty of tackles. Couldn't turn the tide in the second half. 6

Amir Bourouh - Tidy. Tried to keep Hull ticking. Came off on the hour mark. 5
Liam Knight - Used as Hull's middle ball link. Played big minutes and tried to lead the charge. 6
Zak Hardaker - Competitive as always, he tried his best to get at Wire. Massive defensive effort. 6
Ed Chamberlain - Ran well off Sezer when he got the opportunity. Put himself about as always. 5
Yusuf Aydin - Played the whole first half in what was a big effort from the energetic middle. 5
Jack Ashworth - Tried to add a bit of punch off the bench. 5
Brad Fash - Hull were under the cosh during the large majority of Fash's time on the field, but he never backed down defensively. 5
Jack Charles - Came on after the game had already slipped away. 5
Sam Eseh - Put himself about but to no avail. 5

Dana White Makes Massive Announcements About Jon Jones Retiring and Tom Aspinall's Promotion to Undisputed Heavyweight Champion

Dana White Makes Massive Announcements About Jon Jones Retiring and Tom Aspinall's Promotion to Undisputed Heavyweight Champion originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jones, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time, has been involved in a prolonged standoff for the past year with UFC heavyweight interim champion Tom Aspinall. While Jones remained noncommittal, Aspinall was forced to defend his interim belt and sit out instead of fighting a unification bout. In a shocking turn of events, however, UFC CEO Dana White dropped a bombshell announcement that closes one of the most significant chapters in UFC history while ushering in a new era. Advertisement During the UFC Baku post-fight press conference, UFC CEO Dana White revealed that Jon Jones has officially retired. With Jones' retirement now official, White also announced that Tom Aspinall has been crowned the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion. Dana White UFC(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) White told the press, 'Jon Jones called us last night and retired. Jon Jones has officially retired. Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC.' The announcement came after months of speculation regarding Jones' future, with the UFC heavyweight champion repeatedly hinting at walking away from the sport. White was asked whether or not he regrets spending precious time trying to book Aspinall vs. Jones, to which he responded, 'If you look at what [Jones] has accomplished in the sport, no... I obviously feel bad for Tom that he lost all that time and money, but we'll make it up to him.' Advertisement The British star, who held the interim title for nearly 600 days (the longest interim championship reign in UFC history), finally secures the undisputed status he has been working towards. Aspinall had grown increasingly vocal about the division's stagnation, declaring earlier this month that Jones had retired. With Jones retiring, one of the most storied and controversial careers in MMA history now comes to an end. His departure from the UFC marks the end of an era, leaving Aspinall to lead the heavyweight division and bring excitement to the promotion. The division itself, meanwhile, can finally move forward, after having been stuck in limbo since Jones's last title defense against Stipe Miocic in November 2024. With Jones's saga officially over, the UFC now turns its attention to booking Aspinall's first title defense, with an announcement expected soon.

Saints legend says club must start 'afresh' in Championship

The Saints hero was speaking at MotoFest 2025 in Eastleigh on Saturday afternoon when he was asked about the club's fortunes last season and if they'll bounce back to the Premier League by winning promotion in the next 12 months. Advertisement Asked whether fans should ignore the club's record low top division points tally of 12 points, 'Le God' said: 'We have to talk about last season because it happened, we can't just ignore it.

'I feel like the last few years the recruitment side of things hasn't been to the standard we were used to for the years before that. 'I think that's why we ended up in the position that we ended up in. Hopefully we can start afresh for this season and not have too much of a hangover from last year and go and compete and try and get back in the Premier League. 'If we do that, we have to make sure we're better prepared for next time.' Le Tissier was also joined at MotoFest 2025 by fellow ex-Saints forward James Beattie.
