Schofield's been to a turkish barber

Shouldn't be going to the VR for a basic decision such as that. No melee or complex play just a straight onside and grounding.

Not Minichellos night is it?

How is that not a knock on by Williams??!

Minicelli knock on, not conclusive to me

Congratulations Hull!!

MUCH better 2nd half, FC just about deserved it

Well done Hull! Should be a cracking game in the final vs Wire.

Well done Hull, entertaining 2nd half, defense was massive and won the match in the end.

Good game, well done to Hull, let's hope a team from Hull does the cup final a bit of justice this time!

Good hard, honest game, Wigan lost a bit of composure at times on the final plays, Hull looked fairly solid throughout and the scoreline reflected the game.

Hull deserving winners but it was pretty close, I'd say Wigan actually defended better. Hull were conservative a bit first half and then came out with a 'nothing to lose' attitude 2nd and it got them a couple of tries. After the Fonua injury and delay though they went back into their shell slightly and it didn't help them. Wigan in attack though.....apart from Williams there just isn't anything really. Granted your HB should be the main focal point but they can't expect him to do it all by himself.

That was a proper semi, competitive all the way through. Hull were good for the win as they were a bit better with their execution when it mattered. I think Wigan flattered to deceive at times.

Hull just shaded i and deserved their win.
Not a classic but, with the scores so tight and the result in doubt till the final hooter an enjoyable game.
We just need a Trinity win now (for an all Yorkshire final)

Tough game tonight , I thought Wigan were quicker at the ptb and there line speed was great in the first half , They really compounded our attack but we've found away to win these close games this season .

After Hull got two scores ahead I thought they were going to blow it!

They just seemed to go to bits, the ball retention became comical.

Really pleased for the Hull fans though.

As soon as Fonua went down I thought that was the worst thing that could happen to Hull. Not just that they obviously lose a threequarter but the 5 minute break was the last thing they needed when on top. Never really got in the same stride again afterwards but held on for the win.

But Wigan were essentially a one man team in attack with Williams, apart from him no one looked a threat and if you swapped him and Tuimavave around to play for the opposite team then Hull would've won by 3/4 clear scores.

We are still a fair bit off the "top 4" regarding handling skills imo ,It's been a part of our game for to long now that still needs hell of a lot of improvement .

Grr.

You are a bad man.

Unfortunate big congratulations to Hull this evening.

May they lose fifty one nil in the final.

Or Wakefield... They've played well enough this season to be taken seriously don't you think? Their coach who got unfancied KR to the final last year will have his players ready.

On the Game. It was enjoyable. Wigan and Hull both took some batterings.
A mixture of gutsy Hull defence and a slightly disjointed Wigan attack won Hull that game imo.
What's happened to the Sam Tomkins factor in attack?
Is he just behind the rest of the team coming in late or his he missing the likes of Farrell putting him into gaps?

I think 51-1 would be fair, surely any fan of Rovers of FC wouldn't want a hat trick of no shows would they?

Have I missed something, have Wakefield and Warrington already played?. I thought it was this afternoon.

I thought our disjointed attack kept wigan in the game TBH. We looked average with ball in hand but still should have scored 2 or 3 more tries

Bit of both. Up until the game he missed against Leeds he's been very off the boil. His confidence looks shot. Defensively he's been solid as a rock and in attack he really spruced the attack up. He's lost his pace which means the way he used to play is impossible. He's still got the rugby brain so get him in the halves and get a decent FB. It's times like this that other teams must appreciate the value of Farrell though? This workrate and his passing game has assisted so many tries over the years.

For me Sam has to get his hands on the ball as often as possible to make the opportunities. He's no longer the player to exploit the gaps, he needs to be the player who makes the gaps and being in the halves is a natural position for me. I'd like to see a halves combination of Tomkins and Leuluai next year.

Yep, they play today. Pretty much a bye for Warrington, though.
