GAME ON : Warrington Wolves v Hull FC - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Taking many factors into account, it is absolute madness this game is on a Thursday and Wigan v Saints on Friday.

Given the fixtures were announced a few days before the SF games then it should’ve been Hudds vs Wakey tonight as both were already out of the cup. At the time Saints could’ve still been finalists themselves.

Why didn't Warrington play like this against those French Antipodeans last week ?

I presume this fixture was penciled in a good while ago, but it's still another hour of my life I wont get back.

Sure the Hull players can't wait for the season to end, but some poor souls have gone across to watch their "hero's" -
they deserve better.

Hull are terrible, what has happened to them?

The ref is truly awful for both sides, loads of niggling should have been at least two yellow cards.

Certainly not what I pay my Sky Subscription for.

How did this finish? Last I saw was 6_6?

24-22 to Warrington. Decent game to be honest, just a few dubious ref calls but I won't bang on about the ref.

Isn’t it normally the team that played at Wembley on a short turnaround that are terrible, unbelievable score at 80-10

The ref was the only reason Warrington won. Once again Hull were robbed.

Peter Gentle was sacked for far less.

Some enterprising rugby from Warrington then? Shame they didn't play like that last weekend but the cup loss will seem less painful if they win at Old Trafford.Id like them or Cas to win it but think Wigan send Wane out on a high.Saints look to have lost the team spirit but probably have the best set of backs? Anyway should be good . As for tonight 80 is a huge score but Litten and Lane I thought went well .Back 5 were atrocious.Can see why fans want all the injured players sending off for various operations and regroup and go again next year.Nothing to be gained flogging players, just take the losses swallow the medicine and write next 4 game off.

our deepest sympathy to west hull raiders on your sad loss from all at caravan park

Well done Warrington but for goodness sake, buy another record (or 2). That goes for all the other clubs who play that dreadful "tune" over and over, year in, year out.

I was enjoying it greatly. Loved joining in with a 'we all hate hull' in my front room.

They like Leeds went on an Aussie jolly start of the year, picked up injuries, managed to cope for a while but eventually caught up with them.

Are you not from or support a team from there too? bit strange singing you hate it

Dreadful. Injuries or not Hull were disgraceful last night.

Same as Wigan then?

I enjoyed it, haha

They didn’t pick up a load of injuries.

Obviously there was a big difference in the performance of the opposition, and it wouldn't have been a 70 point winning margin, but if our players had turned up at Wembley like they did last night then we would absolutely have been parading the Challenge Cup around the pitch. Obviously I was pleased with the result last night, but it was very much tinged with frustration at what could/should have been.

Catalans tackled like their lives depended on it.Hull tackled like they were playing Tig. I like the Warrington side but can they or Cas for that matter play to the level of intensity of this Saints v Wigan game? If so then the semis and final could be some of the best we will have seen

Our owner Adam Pearson has just given an angry interview to the Hull Daily Mail, where he has backed Radford but criticised the players and has advised that 3/4 players will be moved on or in his words ‘sent to Doncaster’ with some new signings arriving for next year. Going to be an interesting Autumn/Winter at HullFC!
