That's the way I saw it. A 12 man Hull made it about even.

But it wasn't an 'easy' win, was it?

We was shocking and still won, i'd call that an easy win.

So do I!

Face it ur yesterdays news and on the slide big time...

Was great to see Bailey curled up like a coward waiting for his team mates to rescue him before he became the big man again and tried to nut longy!! Priceless!!

Something tells me things are going just fine for the Leeds club...

Oh here it is;







Roll on the school holidays ending, won't have to put up with such uneducated fools!

Sorry if I'm mistaken but aren't those pictures all yesterdays news?? And are you not if you get knocked out in the play offs and don't win a trophy this year then on the slide???

Meh! Your just not good enough pal! people said we were finished in 05! Again in 06!

*cough* Lazenby Cup*cough*

Won feck all this year didn't we .

Still hurting huh? Never mind there's always next week when the whole of Hull has a chance to show the nation how 'special' you are. Conjures up memories of Grandads pictured with their leg cocked ready to kick someone on the ground or chav birds hitting someone with a stiletto. Can't wait!

File under "From Hull"

Long played???

yeah, but his haircut has had the same affect as Samson's did (I don't mean Dean !!)

Didn't you notice his knock-on's in the final stanza?

Dont waste your filing space. Just instantly burn.

Now now we should be a bit more friendly and accommodating to our visitors from the East, they do have a point in that we've played poorly this season and this is our worst season since 2002.




Which makes it that little bit funnier that Leeds have:
-Finished 4th, 2 places above Hull
- Got to a Challenge Cup Final
- Made Hull our b1tches this season.


Indeed how Leeds have faded, once upon a time Saints were our b1tches, now we have to simply make do with embarrassing Hull FC.

The funniest thing is - we knocked them from fourth to sixth

If when you say 'we' you include Ian Smith then I can agree with you,

I thought they'd be thanking us for giving them the chance to have one final mass scrap with their beloved neighbours from across the way.



Hope those goalposts stay upright

Then in 07, then we definitely weren't gonna beat a Saints team blitzing all before them in 2008.

I quite like it when people tell us we'll win nothing.

Listen mate, Ian Smith was shocking but he was just plan shocking (as he has been all season) and his many errors for both sides showed no bias either way!

So now you will talk about Radford's red card, irrespective of what Bailey did, getting up and punching Bailey clean in the face while he was still on the floor in the tackle, in front of the officials is just bloody stupid. Ian Smith's only redeeming moment was having the bottle to give Radford a red card and not put the whole thing on report, yes Bailey should have seen Yellow as well, but to be fair Bluey withdrew him for much longer than 10 minutes anyway!

That all said, the Radford sending off did us no real favours in the end IMO, it was the same as what happened in 1999 when Barrie Mac got sent off in the play-off's, of course we won that game, but suddenly it galvanised the Hull side and they really started to play like they had nothing to lose... which they didn't!

Smith's judgement of what constitutes a knock-on and what doesn't really does need some work. It seems to differ depending on whether he feels he has a decision to make up for or not.

And as for Uncle Albert in the video truck. Is it too much to ask that we get some consistency on what constitutes grounding of the ball for a try and what doesn't?

Lee Smith lost control of the ball, but was still in contact with the ball when it hit the ground. That has been sufficient for a number of tries to be awarded by the VR this season, yet in other cases almost the exact same circumstances have seen tries disallowed.

I said at the time it was a "Roby" but was obviously pleased when it was disallowed.

I agree he was very poor and more importantly very inconsistent on ruling on knock-ons and both sides felt they were hard done by on a number of occasions because of this mixed message!



I agree with you totally about consistency on this type of decision and Alibert is the worst offender, but that said I don't think most of these 'contact with ball tries' should have been allowed in the first place and as such Smith's was a No Try for me.

Talking of VR's I was really pleased to see Childs view Shenton's try at KR from at least two angles at full speed, instead of slow-mo, before then ruling correctly that it was a try and not a double movement. I know that Childs was unlikely not to do this for this particular type of incident, given that Cummins did agree that he got the almost identical McGuire No Try call wrong at Hull KR, but he did think to look at it at full speed before making the call and it clear shows this incident more clearly. We should see more VR's looking at some types of incidents at full speed before making a final call! It is amazing sometimes how different an incident looks in slow-mo than full speed!
