Saints vs Hull

Quote: Supreme Sydney2002 "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 !'"

thats just how i saw it, a fantastic game win or lose! my little un (who by the way has St's as her 2nd team) said to me, it doesnt matter if we lose dad, cos its been a brilliant game, and she couldnt believe how good the atmosphere was (something we dont get very often at the KC) a great advert fo RL,
p.s hope Robys doing ok!!
