Great credit to all the players last night, but Ellis was like a man possessed in both his spells - particularly when he came on in the second half. For me Ellis, Watts and Taylor completed changed the balance of momentum in that second half. When Cas scored their two tries to pull it back to 12 points difference we started to look a bit flat, but the three above swung the game back in our favour. I would say the intensity and intent last night was as good, if not better, than Wembley.
Roll on next Friday!

I think one thing we can guarantee is that Ellis won't be leaving anything in the tank over the remaining games.

Watts as to be the best prop in the comp, amazes me how little recognition he gets from SKY team, the same team that cream over mcshane every time we play them, which is strange when we've dominated them 3 times this year and one very close game . Houghton always as the better of Mcshane, yet its Mcshane MUST get an england call up!

For ages I've thought Watts makes too many errors to play for England...however I've changed my mind and think he should go down under now as he offers something different. He runs different lines and has a surprising turn of pace for someone his size. We won't beat the Aussies by trying to emulate their grind it out Rugby so need to take some players with X-Factor.

Agree with that, I'd take Snyed and Houghton to , for Snyeds kicking game and dannys work rate around the ruck, exactly what you need against the aussies

I’m not even sure why we’re bothering to play Leeds next week. All Clarke and Hemmings could go on about last night was how the Grand Final would either be Leeds v Cas or Leeds v saints. At least Barry said all matches could go either way.

That's not fair!
Phil Clarke also kept going on about the potential forward pass leading to Albert's try last night.
Expect it to be cited by Red Hall on Monday; with Hull kicked out of the Play Offs on Tuesday and replaced by Wigan on Wednesday!

I had to laugh when he asked 'can we not go to the video referee for a forward pass' how desperate, lol. They showed it from the side view and he said 'this will show us' and the pass looked backwards and he never said another word ,lol.
