Hull head coach Peter Gentle has urged his side to be more adventurous following this afternoon's 18-18 draw with London Broncos.

Hull looked set for defeat after an hour of the match as they were trailing their opponents 18-6, but late converted tries from Joe Westerman and Richard Horne secured an unlikely draw for the Super League side.

However, Gentle is keen for his team to show the same sort of gung-ho attitude that they produced in the final quarter from the start of matches.

"We're still, for some reason, playing very conservatively. We're not doing a lot of things which we work on during the week. It wasn't until we started to chase points that we threw the ball around, started getting some shape and grew in confidence," he said.

"I don't know whether it's a lack of self-belief, or just trying to hang in with sides at the moment but we've got to get to the bottom of it. It took us a long time to warm into the game. It was just horrible conditions, and a horrible game really.

"A draw is probably a good result. I'm happy with a point. Look, these conditions are horrendous to play in so we'll take the point. We've got a few players missing but we'll make do over the next few weeks."

The result leaves Hull ninth in the Super League table.
