Great result for us, Widnes did they were best to lose the game with their appalling discipline and knock on's at the end, but what a brave defensive performance particularly in their own 20.

Imagine if we won tomorrow!

Me too.
Surprised Brad Fash and Masi not included.Taylor should be rested and is in danger of burning out.Outstanding for most of the season but the last few games you can see he has not been as effective.Deserves a rest for the effort he puts in each game.
I think there will be more changes to the nineteen named when we actually see the 17 take the field.
Watts has a minor shoulder injury.

Taylor and Yeaman both told people i know that they wouldnt be playing tonight, can see a few more changes

Not sure what else he could have done. Placed a persistent offending team on a team warning 3 times, 2 sin bins.

Ref can only officiate what's in front of them.

If we someone win this and Warrington lose tomorrow, we could actually be crowned League Leaders by next Friday.
Beat Wigan, and Warrington slip up to Widnes in their derby game, and we're 5 points clear with 2 games to go. Hopefully they'll have the Shield ready...!

I've just read the last couple of pages and I'm just sat here smiling.

We've just won the cup at Wembley. We're now talking about potentially winning the LLS. We're already in the playoffs with games to spare, one game from the GF.


We really have to cherish this moment and the next 6/7 weeks, whether we win another trophy or not, we're there battling for them. Sport is cyclical and it won't be like this forever.

Absolutely spot on last Saturday we played well but fate was with us it was our name on the trophy, the gods were with us and we should all be thankful of that for me tonight is academic and we'll see next week!

totally agree, am still on cloud 9, I know we have to get of the cloud sometime but tonight will be a free hit for me and a chance for sum of the squad players to put there case forward, am soooooo happy

Yes of course. 40 years as a Hull fan. Sat next to my granddad last Saturday and cried like a baby. Continue to cast aspersions as you wish. I will avoid the personal the insults...the point is, tonight, as previous games this season you have labeled as "free hits" is far from it. As I pointed out previously, lose these imaginary free hits and we are on 34 points...and far from guaranteed a play off place.

Perhaps if you did a little research before posting, you wouldn't look such a dick. We've already got 38 points and are guaranteed a play off place.

As others have said. We need to rest players and this is the match to do it.

I do think we need to rest quite a few tonight as last weeks game plus the celebrations will have taken a lot out of them . The ideal thing to do was win 2 or 3 of our next 3 games maybe win the shield and rest the team for the wire game , a week before the play off so there fresh for that one .

Pryce named captain first time in his career apparently he has captained a team in super league hope he has a blinder and it it is his last game for us go out in style Leon and thanks for representing Hull FC and passing on your knowledge could it be Fekas last game as well ?

Maybe we won because they were free hits and the pressure was off? I don't for one minute expect us to win tonight after the physical and mental exertions of the last week but if we do then great but if we play the bulk of the team and we suffer in the coming weeks then it's a poor decision. We're capable of beating any of the other top 4 sides home or away so the real target has to be going into the play off game in good form with a fit squad. Winning the hub cap will be irrelevant if we fail to reach OT

I'm sorry you and your grandad cried at wembley but I suspect a lot of your fellow rovers supporters did teh same

Tonight's team

Shaul, Michaels, Fonua, Talanoa, Naughton; Pryce, Abdull; Bowden, Washbrook, Green, Manu, Hadley, Thompson

Subs: Downs, Watts, Paleaaesina, Pritchard

Apparently only one team has backed up a CC win with a SL one since 2008. I think we know where this is going.

Sika Manu must be wondering what he has to do to get a break!

thought maybe naughton fullback and give Lancaster a run out on the wing, Agree about manu ,but not a bad team, COYH

Great start.

Fonua just gets better

I'm watching on sky and did I just see Tommy Lee sat with all are rested players?

Yeah I noticed that too.

Regardless of the result today, great attitude on display. Really positive play. I think they'll tire later on tbh and Saints will put quite a few on us, but fingers crossed!

So is Heremaia. There both just sat with friends?
Did it warrant a thread?
