Listened to radio Humberside at work.tbf they implied warry were the dominant side..as much as I dislike fc they come strong in last 20.injuries to gidley and Westwood were important moments it seemed. Gutted for you guys

Unfortunately the ending was all to predictable I'm afraid.

Yeh i'm gutted aswell ,that runners up money won't really come in handy for owt

Oh dear get over it pal

If Gidley stays on we win that IMO... that's the way it goes sometimes. Inches away from pinching it at the end.
Well done Hull, hopefully we can pick ourselves up for OT.

Thought we played really well, especially swarming defence. Missed Gidley and Westwood but it was always going to be close-Hull are a very good side. We'll be disappointed about the way we conceded but play like that again, learn a bit, we'll have a great crack at the GF.

(I do feel a bit though that it was there fir the taking, but credit to Hull with their big game players)

Gidley will be having nightmares about that kick for the rest of his life, poor lad.

This . Cruising at 10 0 up lose Gidley and Benny then stupid errors especially the qne from Ratchford gifted then the game , still had a chance at the end 99 times out of 100 Currie scores on that last play

Happy to take back what i said about T.King he played very well for me.

Well hard lines Wire now you have to pick yourselves up ,it's not impossible it's been done before after a Wembley defeat and win SL at OT .Hull got a monkey off their backs I think you will do the same in the GF

I think you will go on to win the GF now, as I think Hull will fall away and the other teams are beatable if you focus properly

Cant believe Sneyd got MOM, he didn't turn up until the last 20, should have been houghton or sandow, but for some reason the media have a stake in Sneyd winning MofS this year

Warrington pretty much controlled the game for 60 minutes but failed to deliver the decisive blow. Should have been more than 6 up at half time. Should have been more than 10 up going into the last 20.

I don't think either warrington or hull will win the grand final now. Saints and wigan have had 2 weeks to rest up and really focus in on a final push. Coming off the back of such a draining game, warrington will really be feeling the knocks and it will be hard to get up and go again, there's no time to catch breath before the GF now. Then hull, coming down from this after making history will also be difficult and they could lose some focus.

Grand final vs Wigan all over again

Well Morley if you could predict what was going to happen you are indeed a very clever man. I really thought we were looking the more likely side to win virtually all game. I will watch your predictions prior to a game more closely in future. You are indeed a very wise man ... unless of course you are just being a smart bottom after the event. Surely not.

Must be the kicking style they never mention

You don't have to be 'very clever' or 'very wise' to see when a team is about to throw a victory away in a big game... Although you are correct, I am very clever and wise.

Gidley kicking game was terribl etoday, when we had Hull on the rack in the first half, and their forwards looked like keeling over he kept pointlessly kicking it into touch.

What is the benefit of doing that, they get to rest (apparently at every scrum in the final a 5 minute rest is mandatory) and regain some energy.

I can also see why Sandow wasn't wanted in the NRL, his game management is terrible, was completely anonymous in the last 30 minutes, less said the better about his defensive efforts.

I thought Clarke was excellent, always impressed with him... again our lack specialist players, fullback and wingers let us down I feel. Why Ratchford just let the 40/20 sail past him ill never know.

Sandow has a habit of going awol in games.No doubting his ability but he needs to be like Rob Burrow was + still is for Leeds always running at the opposition.

I've just watched the tries again. No wonder I'm losing my hair. Both of their tries came from kicks that we barely contested.
FFS, this is a Challenge Cup Final in it's latter stages, with a slender lead, not a blow out against bottom of the table with a 40 point lead.
Both attempts, we were like a timid bloke at a 1930's tea dance excuse me.....not good enough.

Buckets of money spent, and we've now lost 3 finals on the bounce. We need to regroup quickly, and make sure we get something out of the season.

Mark Sneyd MOTM?......seriously? No wonder people think standards are slipping. I could think of half a dozen players more deserving.

That judging panel must surely have had a big bet on Sneyd.Nowhere near motm.Could name half a dozen from both sides before him.

They always tend to give them to those type of players, like when Briers, Gidley or Sandow etc get MOTM when they haven't done much.

Feel sorry for so many players who worked so hard today. When we look back at it, Clark, Hughes, Currie etc were immense and our right edge of Evans and King was rock solid. A game ultimately decided by kicks - we missed two shots at goal and failed to deal with two kicks to our left edge. In that sense we didn't deserve to win. If we want to win at Old Trafford we need to be more clinical. Nevertheless, a great advert for the game, just hope we can pick ourselves up for the rest of the season.

Fully agree KT.
I really don't think anyone should feel bad about how they played.
It was all about inches.
Toby stood up well and George was very impressive, but all the lads deserve credit. They'll be hurting for a few days but they certainly haven't let themselves down.

It didn't really run your way today. To lose Gidley who I think is your calming influence was massive and then Westwood went off and others like Ratchford looked to be carrying injuries and struggling with the intensity of the game.

In a strange way I think today will help you to kick on in the league. It's easy to relax when you've won a trophy and to tail away but that clearly won't be the case now. I think you'll have a massive tilt at Old Trafford now.

Houghton was man of the match....however....
Sneyd...40:20 on the fifth tackle....Hull score from the next set...kicks conversion from near the touch line...chips to the corner...regathers and puts Shaul under the sticks....kicks winning goal...match winner.
