GOT IN at 12 shattered happy tired happy, excausted happy, boy there don't do it easy, well done lads and I thought today our support was awesome,

A minor miracle that I've woke up in my hotel bed.
Fook knows how I got back to Watford.
Hungover but happy hungover.
We attempted pub entry in the Folly at 9am yesterday morning. It was shut but got in the Sports Bar opposite.
What a great day,
We were all up dancing last night. 51 and still got the moves, Baggy Trousers, Madness.


Alarms just gone off on my phone for St George v Penrith.

I thought our support was nothing short of sensational yesterday, a wall of black and white roaring the boys home.

LR: When I was shaking hands at the start, the view of all the Hull fans that came down to watch was something special.


I hadn't realised we were in Club Wembley seats but meant we could do some people watching before the game. I tried to see who Eddie Hemmings was putting a bet on as he queued up but not successfully. Really liked the facilities on the concourse, view a bit high up for me but would go in there again.

I did find the relative level of Wigan support strange. They've got a challenge to get in Top 4/GF this year (not to say they won't!) so I'd have thought there'd be a bigger support from them given their size. We probably took twice our number of passholders.

Outstanding effort from the players, always hard to tell at the game, but thought we were the best side, just didn't manage to kill them off. Ref had a decent game, couple of 50/50 for both sides, got the big call right at the end. Thought Sneyd, Watts, Shaul and Fonua were massive for us.

What a couple of years, have to have a go at the GF now.

I thought the Wigan support was terrible for a club with a big fan base I can't understand why they took so few you out numbered them 3-1 easily anyway well done ( he says through gritted teeth ) I hope its you and cas in the GF really bored of seeing the same teams in the final and a cas win obviously

Looked to me like more Hull fans there than last year

I thought so too. Awesome support yesterday, what a day.

Best bit on the red button forum...interview with Tomkins on the verge of tears, but all you can hear are the Hull lads belting out old faithful in the changing rooms

Think the whole thing is really good - BBC coverage gets criticism but Mark Chapman, Dave Woods, John Kear, Brian Noble and particularly Jon Wilkin are far better than Sky's team IMO. Not keen on Robbie Paul, Jonathan Davies or Jamie Peacock but overall I thought BBC did a great job, as they did last year. Really hope Wilkin gets a gig with Sky when he hangs his boots up - really articulate and insightful.

Suggested he had champagne in his eyes

St Helens
Catalans
Wigan
Warrington
Catalans
Castleford
Leeds
Wigan

That is some record.

Totally agree. Dave woods is a great rl commentator. Really captures the moment. Enjoyed watching cup games far more than sky .Met Mark Chapman once over 10yrs ago and he said then one of his greatest sportent events was Cardiff 05. Comes across in his presenting how much he enjoys being around rugby league

chapman is a Hull fan from his student days I think (along with durham). peacock just talks in soundbites. It's like he has prepared everything he's going to say beforehand.

Although I don't want to, I actually like john wilkin and he obviously has a lot of respect for a lot of the Hull palyers

Jonathan "just watch " Davies really gets on my tits.

I thought those small bottles were beer tbh, he did get sprayed in the eyes though

He was the one that gave big credit to CT for making the tackle that meant Clubb lost control - and in real time that's how I saw it, a little pressure on the ball as per every tackle in SL and Clubb didn't have control of the ball sufficiently. Child was for once correct.

Shame the rest of the bbc are not like them absolutely no mention on any of the sports bulletins this morning on BBC news, they mentioned the boxing, women's rugby union and the football and the final was broadcast on BBC 1what does that tell us.

Must say I noticed that, quite ridiculous!

Read Stuart Cummings column in this weeks League Weekly. Mcillorums punch was in retaliation to the one thrown by Ellis. Seems that everybody missed that one.

In the initail tackle,Mcllorum headbutts Ellis,he retaliates,then Mcllorum throws another punch.
Seems everybody missed that????

If you want to class that as a deliberate head butt then you need to take up knitting. Happens probably about 10 times a game in tackles. Did you see Ellis and MM keep on at each other afterwards? No. That's because they both recognised it for what it was. Hull won,back to back cup triumphs,congrats.No disrespect intended,just pointing out what was written by a well respected former official,in response to what the Loiner said.

The same former official that ranted on about clubbs no try yet hardly mentioned the foot in touch leading up to Burgess' try?
