We were far from our best, but in the cup, as long as you get the win it doesn't matter. I think it will stand us in good stead that we showed we can see out a close match when the pressure is on. As for Hull, they proved again they can mix it with the best, and when they get their players back, they'll have confidence they can win a play off semi final should they reach one.
As a Saints fan, it's good to see that the bitterness from other fans is back. People making up that we always get the easy draw, when we've drawn one Championship side in 6 years and have had plenty of away ties in that time, and making up that Abdull was sin binned against us earlier this year to fit their agenda.
People always have that bitterness against the best side in the league. Castleford copped it last year and at various times since 2010 so have Wigan, Warrington and Leeds when they were the best side. This time last year, we were nothing, not worthy of comment or anger from opposition fans. And that fact that we now do shows that we're back!'"
Great post.
