Seriously average game , lots of effort and endeavour , but short on class not the classic the bbc want us to believe it was . Well done to Hull fc on breaking the hoodoo .

Exciting last 20 but there wasn't an abundance of quality on show, I couldn't believe how bad both teams were at building pressure, it will probably make a good highlight reel though

Its just BBC propaganda, as we have seen many brilliant GFs in the last 10years but no great CC finals since Hull beat us a Cardiff

Watching that really made me wonder why we don't seem to put the ball up high to our wingers as often as we used to. Especially to hall.

Because setting up a kick like that to the left needs some kind of organisation and game plan to have your 5th tackle be somewhere on the right hand side of the field

You obviously aren't aware of Macs revolutionary 'sans-gameplan' philosophy

That was a classic.Collision game..Collision being the word,Leeds need to learn..

A classic hahahaha.

Was a decent finish. But the game itself was far from classic. Just shows the current quality in SL

Agreed. Things were way better back in the day, when there was real quality in super league.

Kind regards,

The 2001 CC final.

I thought the defence in those conditions was superb. I don't think we really appreciate how much defensive structures have improved in the last 20 years. Fans point to the decline of attacking skill, but the improvement in defence, and the size of the collusions has improved massively. There simply isn't the space, or time on the ball there once was. It was certainly the best final for at least a decade.

I thought it was an enjoyable match.

Sandow was awful in the second half - didn't even look interested half the time when Warrington had the ball never mind in defence. His attempt on the high kick that led to hulls try was embarrassing (sort of thing you see in a kids game)

That's cos Sandow is sh-te

Cracking game. Fantastic defence and good attack too. Especially in the conditions.

I think Wire had Hull at 10-0 up but couldn't compose themselves enough to manage the game properly. But huge credit to Hull for coming back.

Both teams were a credit to the sport today.
