Hull head coach John Cartwright told BBC Radio Humberside:<\/p>\n
“I’m really disappointed for the players that they didn’t get a result. They gave their everything.<\/p>\n
“I’m so proud of the playing group. There were another couple of injuries tonight but whoever we put out there just keeps turning up.<\/p>\n
“Everyone we come [up] against it’s a battle, we give the opposition a fight, but we are just lacking that little bit of class to get over the line.”<\/p>\n
On his immediate future:<\/p>\n
“I don’t know. I’ve got a couple of meetings early next week and then we’ll be a little but clearer where we go from there.<\/p>\n
“It’s a difficult one. I certainly don’t want to let that playing group down but sometimes these things are not in your hands. <\/p>\n
I don’t want to talk about it too much because it’s the unknown. I’ll be a little bit clearer next week.”<\/p>\n
St Helens head coach Paul Rowley told BBC Radio Merseyside:<\/p>\n
“It was a gritty performance I would say. We had to find a different way. Credit to Hull, what they did defensively challenged us, but we found our rhythm in the second half. We’ve done it tough and we deserved that result.<\/p>\n
“We knew it would be an emotional night and that would add to the start in particular that Hull would produce and they did just that so no surprises there.<\/p>\n
“John [Cartwright] is a good bloke and he works hard. As coaches we all have sympathy and empathy for everyone’s situation but we know what the job is about.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull head coach John Cartwright told BBC Radio Humberside: “I’m really disappointed for the players that they didn’t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534869,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-535344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
