They were using it all game. they use it all the time. griffin dealt with all but one easily for 65 minutes

Just watched it again as soon as Griffin went off, they attached us on the right and got away 4 times, luckily we scrambled to survive, not sure it was a great decision to change it, particularly when we was in control.

Seen a few things about Kelly not having a good game, but after watching it Bev he played well, caused Wigan problems, involved in all 3 try's and defended excellently.

Carlos also had a great game particularly in defence.

Can't believe how dominate we where in the 2nd half and only scored or try, some silly mistakes, Wigan only got back into the game because of a refs error, but we should have killed the game off.

Great effort from both sides, but we deserved t win, we just don't make it easy.

When you watch it again you will see the player in the ball- stripping incident was Tony Clubb not Mcllorum.

If you dont care then dont reply
Is it not a fact that Griffin deliberately ran into the defender Gildart causing an obstruction resulting in the try by Fonua being correctly disallowed?
He could easily pulled out of the collision.
That try would have made the game much easier for us to see out.
Like i said had we lost that game Griffin would have taken a lot of justified criticism.
As a Hull Fc supporter like you i am enjoying this current period of success but that doesnt mean we cant be critical of a player or players.
It may not be your opinion or several others on here but i see Griffin as a weak link in this team.

We needed scoreboard pressure
Washbrooks Knock on
Fonua disallowed try
Taylor penalised late on for holding
All 3 really didn't help

In the next big games we need to convert pressure to points

Even a drop goal lol

Agree it would have been nice to score again. But then again that's not hulls way lol. Anyway shirt all cleaned we off to see the lads bring the cup home

If only we could go back to the days of two sixth place finishes and a nilling at Wembley.

And no Scrum Half, no established Goalkicker and no 40:20 for over a season.

Need to have a major clear out now and make a serious bid for the Middle 8's next season.

In the meantime, let's all just try and stay patient during the Homecoming today!

Metres made on Saturday:
Scott Taylor 136
Liam Watts 120
Frank Paul Nuuasala 46
Tony Clubb 29

Er, Jake the Peg was whining/accusing me of saying stuff I hadn't, I merely responded to that.

Put it behind you Bumpster.
Rejoice, celebrate and revel in this magical time in our clubs history.
Sir Adam, Radders the Dadders and the players are to be eulogised over and eternally thanked, wouldn't you agree? ☺

I don't whine, I lay bait for fugwits and they always bit

spot on wizeb, cant believe somebody actually criticising any player after that performance, this is a very special time enjoy it

What was the metres for Carlos Mrs B? did a lot of work off the ball

Gutted at the result. If only we'd brought Connor on for Griff sooner we might have won.



Oh wait

Thought the stints Wattsy, Taylor and Ellis put in where superb, Green had one of his best games for us, Halfbacks delivered but maybe we should have put the game to bed earlier. Talanoa and Fonau where superb.

Fonua and Talona are match winners simple and Mark is the best kicker both goal and field in super league him and Watts should be a shoe in for the England squad I'm not saying they start but should be involved other than Luke gale who has been brilliant this season I can not think of a better English half also Jamie Shaul is second only to Hardaker this season at full back and on performances should come in before Ratchford but having a coach in Aus who only sees TV games and us on once in 7 super 8 games we will be lucky to have any in the England Squad Betts will push for all the lanks clubs players like Brown

I wouldn't swap Watts for any other prop in Super League

A couple of talking points or questions if anyone is out there can enlighten me are

Was there any in goal refs I could not see them on Tv and I do not remember them on game day but they was the last thing I was looking for just wondered why there wingers foot in touch when collecting a kick was not spotted ?

Also did Tomkins pick his losers medal up I've been told he did not go up the steps ?

Where was Steve Michaels at the homecoming and I would have thought he may have featured this week with us resting a few players is he ill ?

Was the attendance affected by us selling club Wembley tickets this year as opposed to the RFL including them in the gate weather they was in attendance or not other years ?

Thanks

didn't see michaels at wembley either, not saying he wasn't there but didn't see him on the pitch after

I thought I saw Michaels on the pitch after the game in a suite on TV that's why I was surprised he was not at the homecoming hope its not an issue with him missing out

ok, I hope not as I like Michaels

Michaels was on the pitch at the end

There are never in goal refs at a televised game and by the time the BBC reviewed it, the try had been scored.
