Yes, Lineham really ripped into Leeds tonight, and if you think he is is your only back with pace then you really do have a problem. The majority of his tries are close range efforts, and has,nt replicated that good season he had with Crookes. Overrated imo and a good piece of business by the Hull Board and will be even more bang average in a vegatating Wire team.

Well I guess that is that done for another year. I had no real belief that we would go through, right from the moment the draw was made (partly a result of my inbuilt cynicism when it comes to Fc). Another of our bad nights where the body is willing but the brain is weak. Another night to add to a long list I've seen in my time.
As far as the overall competition goes, I think if our nearest & dearest can avoid Leeds in the upcoming draw then I fancy them to make a return to Wembley after a long absence.
If I had to take a punt right now, based on nothing other than gut feeling, I would predict a Leeds-rovers final (which will go down a storm 'round these parts) with Leeds retaining the trophy. They seem to be on a mission to send Sinfield & Peacock on their way with another couple of winner's medals to add to their already impressive collection.
Just a hunch, nothing more. Here's hoping one of the others can put a spanner in the works, for the sake of all our sanity's, or else 2015 could be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Point I tried to make was that it was the difference between semi finalists and not. Some fantastic hits from Hull defensively particularly Ellis and Watts appeared unstoppable. Maybe Radford should have taken Westerman off earlier for Thompson after the first two of about 6 errors....

Absolutely, in fact you can tell that by the length of teh field tries he's scored this season and the fact he's our top try scorer despite playing on the wing for a team that doesn't/can't pass properly and has missed half the season through injuries and being dropped
