Great effort today is some tough circumstances.

Excellent win, I thought we were much the better team and only thanks to Mcshane did that stay with us.

I thought all did well, but thought Ellis and Sao were great in the pack, Houghton best game for 2 years, Carlos amazing. Thought we played some great rugby, maybe too much at times. Thought Connor had a good game, played with no other pivots last 15 minutes, but controlled the game.

Tough game next week, but have faith in the likes of Swift and Wynne coming back in.

Well done to Lasty and the boys.

Standard from him.

Just Wigan to beat in the quarters.
Saints in the semi.
And payback time against Rovers at the Twin Towers............

And then I woke up.

Congrats on the win, is that 3 or 4 times you've done us in the cup now. Deserved it, good luck v wigan, would be a herculean effort to beat them but theres something about hull and the cup this decade. I'm sure you'll give it a good shot.

Thank you. Hindsight is a great thing but Last's decision to rest 8 players on Thursday was probably the difference. A real cup tie - very close, players dropping like flies and lots of errors but no lack of passion or intensity. Thought Cas heads might go down after Naulago's try from the 20 but great spirit to bounce straight back. Wigan will be an extremely tall order with Shaul, Sneyd and Kelly out as well as Taylor and probably Jones - but hopefully we can get a patched up side out there and dig deep.

Considering the short turn around thought it was a good team performance. Carlos was outstanding, thought Faraimo was pretty good along with Ratu, Griffin was a real handful especially at FB, Ellis, Sao & Satae made good meters and gave great go forward. Houghton was more like the player of a few years ago. Important contributions from Kelly & Connor too.

Intrigued at what Hull have to do to get 6 again calls.

Hopefully the injuries picked up are not too bad but very tough ask to back up for the game against Wigan.

Huge credit to all involved and to Last & Purtills game plan and selections .

Keep up Mr Wiz i have always said we will sadly miss Ratu and Kelly.One of my favourite players
My comment was aimed at Faraimo getting the call in front of Swift when we need speed on the wing particularly as we had Fonua on the bench

As it turned out Faraimo was a good pick. Great awareness for the quick restart leading to Ratu's try and he was really unlucky at being called back when Millington went down.

I expect Swift will play on Saturday and get a further chance to cement a regular spot.

Powell always has sour grapes after we’ve knocked them out the cup.

Good effort all round, had a real dig which is nice to see.

You mean like bombing a try with a stupid forward pass when he broke the line with only the full back to beat.
Didnt even need Kelly he should have backed himself.
Griffin is good going forward but passing and defence is and always was poor

He will have to use Carlos no option in what will be an even tougher game.
Plenty of options in the centre and wing

You are getting emotional Mr Wiz ill ask Mrs B to send you another Like your post emoji.
I dont rate him because as i said he is good going forward but as a centre you need to be able to pass a ball and defend which are his weak points.

3 wins from 4 and in the last 8. Perhaps a little credit is due to Last given the coronavirus disruption, loss of the likes of Sneyd, Taylor and Jones etc.

Have Hull FC done something other dump Cas out the cup a few times during Powell’s tenure for him to be so ungracious in defeat? Or is he just trying to paper over the cracks and draw attention away from his own and his teams performance?

You’d think the extra 80 min recovery time made all the difference the way he was whining about cas having to play thursday.

He's a sore loser. He will naturally be disappointed but as is often the case with him following a defeat he just resorts to moaning rather than showing good grace towards the victors.

Think even Cas fans are getting a little tired of him.

Yeah and they are morons that dont remember life as a cas fan pre 2013

A win is a win - we looked tired at times for obvious reasons. Glad Cas played as well and think DP made a massive mistake not resting players mid week.

Glad to see Shaul more involved. I hope Ratu is ok. Burrito always worries me as I don't seem to be able to read him. Fonua needs to take the ball at more pace.
A gutsy effort that's for sure by the team.

Cryo if AP can afford it.

Griffin - passing to one's right is difficult to do and some players don't spend enough time practising. It requires so much practice to get it good enough to make that pass to Kelly.

True. I played in the halves in the distant past. Griffin also moved to his left as he prepared to pass and that made it even more difficult at the speed he was traveling.

Anybody else screaming at the telly “six again” when the fxxk are we getting “six again” someone earlier said this was torture, it was, but in a good way, don’t know if it was the cup, but that game rekindled my passion, and in a good way had me fretting and cheering, we may crash and burn against the pies, but god that was good yesterday, well done to all the players on both sides.
