I can sort of forgive that, Gentle said the ball was like a bar of soap and both sides made plenty of errors.

And I thought Danny Houghton was superb.

Yeah, there's some work to be done. Lack of half backs is one thing, but dropping the ball cold as often as we do is very poor.

This is the simple fact that people seem to be missing. Catalan are higher in the league than us, and they made a similar number of handling errors. Conditions do seemed to have played a part today.

I thought your relatively superior ball control was a big part of you winning. By normal standards you dropped a fair bit, but in those conditions and with Catalans dropping even more, it was pretty decent - you adapted better, and your defence was good. Scrappy game, inevitably with a ball that seemed to be made out of soap, but you scrapped better - kudos.

Conditions will be quite similar tomorrow, I'd imagine, and I don't suppose there'll be nearly as many errors. There's only so much you can blame the weather for.

It's a must win game for us, we'll know how serious we are depending on how ed the players get tonight.

Agree with that. Monumental effort in that heat.

Anybody know when the draw for the semi's are ?

Ta

After tomorrow's game.

Happy?

After the Wire v Hudds game tomorrow.

I'm sitting on my sofa wearing only pants and I'm sweating like a fatty in a cake shop. Must have been a bit tiring running around for 80 minutes.

Tomorrow after the Wire game. You can guarantee the RFL have the Wigan and Wire balls in the freezer as we speak

Widnes could give pies a shock .

Doubt it. But that's on Monday anyway after the draw.

Cheers

Not that old bollox.

Not that you need to worry about it

Well done FC. Really fancied you to win today so much so that I had £15 on Lineham anytime Hull win. that'll do for a few bevvies tonight.



. I think you'll kick on now and finish the season strongly.

One of the worst games I have seen for a while. Well done to FC for winning though.

Boys deserved it today, defence and effort was spot on but needed to be after last few weeks poor efforts . Would be looking to rest quite a few against the bulls

Well done to the FC - a great win, see you in the final!

Rhino ball partly to blame for the dropped footy's today?

Also, what about the spray they use on the hands and forearms in the NRL to help ball retention, can't SL clubs afford that or what?

Great result hopefully we can kick on for the rest of the season now

I fancy anybody in the semi's as long as we produce that defensive effort again.

We were doing that every game during our good run so it was nice to see it back again, keep it up and we are hard to beat.

Our attack will improve on the back of our defence again and once we have Horne back I think he will love playing off Miller.
