You will of done if was deemed serious for the game to stop for the players well fare ie head injury, this was just fortunate ligament damage not life threatening

So where do you stop it then head cut, broken finger nail

Nothing wrong with what fages did. He played to the whistle .

As for Griffin if it was a full tear the pain is equivalent to being shot . It hurts like hell so don’t blame him for dropping it .
Depending on the level of the tear probably 6 to 8 months out .

Even as a Hull fan I don't hold any blame against Griffin for dropping it. Disappointing it happened but I've never had that pain before so I ain't going to judge the guy.

Saints nearly collapse as usual in this comp. Touch wood for my team up next...

Thought they were going to bottle it again, lucky to get the win from an intercept.

At least the Saints players turned up when their fans didn't



Hull probably would've nicked it without the horrendous injury to Griffin, tough one to take.

Tough one. Fages played to the whistle, but when a player is obviously hurt like that it's the right thing to stop. They would have asked the ref to stop play had he held the ball.

Split second timing though for Fages and he played to the whistle.

Did nothing wrong, but I can understand why he would get stick for it.

Unsporting from fages. Player clearly in pain. Should've picked up the ball and allowed himself to be tackled. Disgusting play imo though accept he played to the rules

Is Warringtons 200k a year centre playing? I haven’t seen him?

I touched wood godamnit!

Cas look organised, they have a plan, and know what they're doing. But their job is being made a lot easier by how poor Wire are.

Tell you what was unsporting. Griffin trying to twist Makinsons knee the set before

Cas are beautiful to watch when they play like this.

If they can turn it on like this in the final, we're in for a treat.

Blake Austin is such a terrible defender.

Ok, he jumped the line a few times but he was put in a bad spot far too often, he shouldn't be the last man one on one with Jordan Turner.
Its a team **** up, Cas really pulled their pants down through their own efforts.

Sorry I meant for the mcshane try. Everyone could see what he was going to do. Everyone bar Austin that is

The occasion will beat Cas in the final. Saints have to much experience.

Both played the same number of challenge cup finals in the last decade

We choke more than cas and will probably do so in the final

Fages stops the play everyone would be saying great sportsmanship but he didn't so what does that say?

They should of let Hull score unopposed, Bielsa style. A bad day for rugby league to let that go

It is funny that “fans” all criticise Fages. But ex players from Huddersfield wire st Helen’s LeedsBradford etc all said they would have done the same.

Brett Hodgson Hull coach says they are the rules and play on.

It is on;y an issue because some people want it to be an issue

INOUT

I thought the same but the commentator said they were surrounded by the Hull supporters. The St Helen's supporters were on the opposite side of the ground, away from the mikes. All competing clubs were allocated, and sold, an equal allocation.

Regarding the Fages try, I have no grievance. He collected a loose ball instantly and instinctively and legally scored the try as any professional would be expected to do. I'm sure any Hull player would have done the same in the cicumstance. The same can be said for any other team. It's cup rugby and any advantage must be taken. I feel sorry for Griffin and hope he recovers soon.

Congratulations to St Helen's and Castleford in reachng the final; it promises to be a good, close game.

It's one of the main stories on the BBC Sport page.

Shocking from Fages, really.

Two small towns from Wakefield at Wembley on the same day. The RFL will love that.
