Never saw a Minichiello error at a crucial time coming at all honest. He tries hard but you just know he's going to let you down when it matters. Can't believe some people think we should keep him for next year, sooner he leaves the better for me.

A fair result in the end. Not too much between the sides but our execution was not there today.

Shaul scored the winner !!!
Then it was another knock on by Griffin

For a semi final that was so poor in terms of tactics

Name one stand out forward ?

Constant down the middle amateur pub team stuff
Hang on a minute though
That tactic worked for East Hull in the local League didn’t it and for the salary cap busters the Bulls

It beggars belief LR couldn’t see we had to move the ball wide twice in each set

thought you was gonna bed

That was our best side there !!!

Roll on the play offs because guess what

I’m in bed
I’m shattered but so vexed

I don't agree with those having a go at the players.

The team were comprehensively out coached today.

The players showed a lot of heart and they turned up for Lee.

I don't think it's fair to have a go at Lee either. He did his best and the players clearly played for him.

We just lost to a better team.

Griffin in the back row instead of Mini and then Connor can start and get a feel for the game.

Mind you, on the VT there is a consensus that the Ratchford conversion missed which after taylors they would mean we would have been level, and not chasing the game

i thought the last one did, but imo am sure if on the other foot we wouldn't have been bothered lol, we gave it our best shot but in the end wasn't good enough, it does show we need our pack beefing up next year which we are doing, we are where we are,

Proper cup tie and well deserved win for Warrington. Thought our last tackle kicking execution was poor today but a lot of that on the back of poor field position. The two top teams at Wembley, not really surprising. Hopefully we can pick ourselves up after the Wigan game.

Well said Warrington had a superb game plan which they executed perfectly and didn’t go away from it at all which is very unlike Wire.

It was a huge effort by us to even be in the game right until the final minute.

Carlos was brilliant for us today got through so much work and gave Ratu ball whenever he could.

carlos was very good, our forwards lacked size, lane did nothing as did fash, why green didn't play who knows, could have done with savilleo today, but they give there all and didn't leave anything on the pitch, sad to be not going to Wembley again but you also have to praise wires,

Best team won just , but 2 kicks decided it . Their 2 tries or sneyds 2 misses , effort was there and wasn’t much between both sides . Thought mini and Faraimo and Carlos went well, sneyd and Connor not so well .

I love Connor but what is he doing here for the winning score? https://twitter.com/IanRuss23102169/sta ... 27713?s=09

That was a professional coach versus an amateur.
What game plan did we have? bunching at the play the ball when we needed to spread the ball wide to make some metres.Where was the message from the coach to spread out.
Poor team selection as i said before the game.A lightweight second row and bench because Radford doesnt want to Play Green even though he was our best prop a few weeks ago, then moving Connor to the bench when Connor starting and Albo on the bench worked well previously.
That also could have been avoided by simply moving Griffin into the second row allowing both Kelly and Connor to start.
Sneyds kicking from hand once again very poor never allowing a decent kick chase.
Although kicking from deep he should have kicked along the turf and into space giving the chasers more time to get upfield.
Effort is one thing coaching is more important

Is Green injured?? Who in their right mind plays brad gash over green? Completely out played in the forwards. Big prop needed.

connor had a mare today but it happens, our forwards are the problem imo, not enough go forward, but we addressing that for next year, missed manu today, but overall our pack is getting old, today masi savellio green could have made a big difference, but its gone now, onwards to wigan thurs,

best bit was where ratu skinned lineham, gave there all just not good enough,

Well played Hull, that was a proper arm wrestle of a game, closer than the score suggests. Just shows what we can do when we cut down the daft errors and stick to our plan, as a previous poster said, very unlike Wire.
Best of luck against Wigan.

I don't think it was "all wrong". Connor not done enough last few weeks to displace either Griffin or Carlos. A couple of the forward picks open to debate but majority correct IMO. The reality is Warrington have a more expensive squad with marquee usage, so most days should be beating us. When the players gift them 3 tries from errors you get that outcome. I actually enjoyed the game, a proper cup tie and not as stressful as other years where it felt the stakes were higher somehow.

Can I take that back about Wigan, just remembered the league placings.

This thread is the reason one of my best Wembley experience was losing to you. I had a great day and your fans were class. If only St helens could be 10% of other clubs.

Better team won on the day, so fair play.

Think our recruitment/ retention has come back to bite us at times, and think we’ve overachieved already this year.

Hopefully our new recruits will give us some go forward next year.

Give up whining and take the defeat like a man.
