Overview
- Toulouse Olympique, which snapped a seven-match slide on Sunday, beat Hull FC 12-4 at the MKM Stadium with two early tries from Olly Ashall-Bott and Joe Cator.
- Hull dominated territory after Tom Briscoe’s first-half reply yet, with 46 play-the-balls in the visitors’ half, could not add points as Zak Hardaker missed the lone conversion.
- Interim coach Andy Last called the display bitterly disappointing and said he must get to the bottom of a spine that played too laterally and lacked fluency.
- Back-rower Joe Batchelor returned from a back issue, Ligi Sao sat out with a head knock, and Connor Bailey left early with a suspected broken collar bone that awaits confirmation.
- With a two-week gap to a May 17 trip to Bradford, Last set a light early-week review and recovery plan to reset after the home setback witnessed by incoming coach Steve McNamara.
