Great result for us, Widnes did they were best to lose the game with their appalling discipline and knock on's at the end, but what a brave defensive performance particularly in their own 20.

Me too. Surprised Brad Fash and Masi not included.Taylor should be rested and is in danger of burning out.Outstanding for most of the season but the last few games you can see he has not been as effective.Deserves a rest for the effort he puts in each game. I think there will be more changes to the nineteen named when we actually see the 17 take the field. Watts has a minor shoulder injury.
If we someone win this and Warrington lose tomorrow, we could actually be crowned League Leaders by next Friday. Beat Wigan, and Warrington slip up to Widnes in their derby game, and we're 5 points clear with 2 games to go. Hopefully they'll have the Shield ready...!
I've just read the last couple of pages and I'm just sat here smiling.
We've just won the cup at Wembley. We're now talking about potentially winning the LLS. We're already in the playoffs with games to spare, one game from the GF.
We really have to cherish this moment and the next 6/7 weeks, whether we win another trophy or not, we're there battling for them. Sport is cyclical and it won't be like this forever.

Absolutely spot on last Saturday we played well but fate was with us it was our name on the trophy, the gods were with us and we should all be thankful of that for me tonight is academic and we'll see next week!

Not seen much of you since we won the cup though
Yes of course. 40 years as a Hull fan. Sat next to my granddad last Saturday and cried like a baby. Continue to cast aspersions as you wish. I will avoid the personal the insults...the point is, tonight, as previous games this season you have labeled as "free hits" is far from it. As I pointed out previously, lose these imaginary free hits and we are on 34 points...and far from guaranteed a play off place.

Perhaps if you did a little research before posting, you wouldn't look such a dick. We've already got 38 points and are guaranteed a play off place.
