Nothing to do with the wrong brand. Hull had a bad first half. A side full of very big and skilful players were able to rectify it and put us on the back foot. The Ellis try was always going to come because they had started to control the ball and play as well as we had been, and their greater strength and skill won out in the end.

An excellent season and missed out by a whisker.

Cant understand why we went for drop goal a draw wouldnt of done much for us anyway we still had 3 tackles left.think game managment is the one thing that let us down all season and it was evident tonight.that say bentham certainley helped hull

A draw would have put as above Wigan if Cas beat them tomorrow by more than ten points or so, and a win over Wigan would have put us third if Hull lost.

If it had gone over, I'd have been quite optimistic going into next weekend, rather than berating them for not carrying on and possibility coming away with nothing.

He played the odds and went for the safer bet and came up short. I've no criticism of that. If he'd played for a try and we hadn't scored, people would have queried the decision not to go for the one point because it would have put us in with a greater chance of making the top four. He can't win either way.

Half time told in both games. We came back out with stick it up your jumpers, play safe. Sts & Hull both regrouped came back faster cut out their errors, exploited ours.

Just come on to this site & amazed we havent had somebody on saying that Finny should be burned at the stake, after last weeks comments from the keyboard warriors. We competed brilliantly for the full 80 minutes tonight and even though we came out on top in the penalty count 5 to 4 . I did think that the 50/50 calls favoured Hull, and when Shaul got 10 mins I did think that Watts could have been shown yellow for deliberate contact with one of our players ( Arona ?)
