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.

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.

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

why is it you that is always commenting on the tackle you didnt even go to the game so did not see it if it was illegal im sure the rfl will deal with it and ban him because we are not a big club like saints who get away with it when there players do it.

You quoted a post from me which wasn't commenting on the tackle at all. It was commenting on the pea brained idiot who made a pea brained comment about Roby (a clean player) being knocked out because Fozzard (a dirty player) does it to everyone else and somehow that is 'payback'. O'Meley should have floored Fozzard for it to be payback, but pea brained idiots can't see how pea brained they are.

Maybe you should read posts before you quote them. Otherwise, you will continue to look like an idiot yourself.

Pretty good summation that except

One of the biggest dissapointments when we look back at this season at the end of the year is how a very poor Hull side have done the double over us. They're crap!

Hull won't make the top 4 I can put my house on that.
