Fair enough.
I do see your point and I'm sure I'd be mightily hacked off if roles were reversed although perhaps the more philosophical fans amongst those that went will see it for the great RL game it was once the dust settles.

Potter out!

Oooops.

It was a superb game of RL I thought. Hull take the lead, then never see the ball for the remainder of the first half. FC put Meli under pressure early and he bombed it twice, but Meli got back on the horse and pops up with a hat trick, even had a bit of biff. 2nd half, saints go over courtesy of a Meli 4th, a wonder effort from him. We miss the goal and dont actualy threaten the FC line again that half. Nearest we got was when we put a shot on Shrek, causing him to spill the ball on the first takcle, 10 out from his line, also shrek left the field injured from the hit. We then ( courtesy of scotty moore I think, maybe wrong though ) throw the ball away to an FC player on only the 2nd tackle. That was that. At 26 - 26, it looked certain we would go down the middle and go for a one pointer from say 35 out, but nope we took it wide resulting in a towering up N under from Leon, that bounced in the in goal and then out for a dead ball. FC then blow 2 drop goal chances, both by Longy... we then have one final hoorah, but the drop effort from Moore was nothing more than a token gesture, it was a non starter. Then up steps Tickle and wins the league for FC and sends 13,000 fans home with memories of a real intense, rugby league game. I enjoyed the match and the stonkign atmosphere, best atmos I have been in for many a year, even better than the atmosphere at RUss Abbotts parties.

What a game, one of those " i was there " games for me, just like when we lost the CC semi final to leeds back in ermmmm 2003 I think, with Mc Guire scoring in the corner and Sinny kicking the goal line conversion to win it, anothe " i was there, wow" game that was.

BRUISED N BATTERED !

i know this is a bit of a silly messgae but, thanks for the minutes silence, one of the best ive ever heard! very well respected fromm all there!

Sean Long says the score was 27-26 BTW, for those Saints fans who was asking what the score was.

Or people who attended the game.

Fozzard has made a career of leading with his forearm.

Boot, other foot springs to mind.

A good game by all accounts. Just a pity it wasnt Long that kicked the drop goal, then you would have know what it was like to be a wire.

Man,that was one of the best games I have been to.Meli had us on the wing first half.
Won or lost,I would still rate this match as superb entertainment,both sides going for it.Somebody posted earlier we reacted as if it was our cup final.Well to come back as we did against a side the quality of Saints tends to get the adrenelin going.
Hope Roby is o.k.


B.T.W. thought Cunningham was a mate of Longs,the way he duffed him up didn`t look like it.

Right. So Roby who never plays anything remotely like dirty gets felled and possibly seriously injured by what might be a leading forearm from an opposition player and you think that's justice because another totally different Saints player does it?

Man, you're brain was put in backwards.

Unfortunatly players get injured no matter what their characters are like.Personaly I hate to see any player injured.
I hope Roby recovers soon.

oh dear oh dear
