Hull fight back to stun St Helens

Danny Tickle helped Hull stage an astonishing second-half comeback to edge to victory over St Helens.

The home side opened the scoring through Tom Briscoe but Saints ran riot, Meli adding a hat-trick to Keiron Cunningham's earlier try.

When the in-form winger went over for his fourth, a comeback looked unlikely.

But Hull went on to score 22 unanswered points to level the scores and Tickle struck a superb 78th-minute drop goal to snatch the win.

Mick Potter's side had what looked to be an unassailable 26-6 lead with little over 30 minutes remaining, only for the home side to respond with an unstoppable barrage that resulted in them registering three successive wins for the first time this season.

Bloody hell, "unstoppable barrage" isn't something you regularly associate with the Hull offense, especially against someone like the saints

Bit of a shocker if you ask me.

Losing a 22-6 lead is criminal. Our sliding defence has been the best in the league for a decade but it's really started to suffer. The new coach needs to address this issue and address it very, very quickly.
