Great that ratchford is back feeling more optimistic with him in the starting lineup. Shame about Charnley but he needs to be fit for the business end of the season, not sure what tasi offers!

I just hope Rathford's inclusion isn't a gamble and the injury has healed.

He'll be targetted but at the very least his inclusion will take pressure off Austin.

With Ratchford coming back, I think Patton will be kicking.

Ratchford back is MASSIVE. He and Blake can create together. Rather than Austin having to do everything himself and being a marked man. Hopefully it gives us what we need. We might as well go with 3 on the bench with Tasi there though.

IF Ratchford really is fit, becan interesting afternoon, both sides are gambling on players coming back from injury.

Come on, Wire

Echo those sentiments, hope he’s fully fit and not a desperate gamble! It’s either a master stroke or a panic move from the coach. We shall see! NTW!

Not too bad.
A little boring, but points mean prizes.
Twice we've kicked on the third tackle. Poor.

Ref having a mare for both sides, but particularly us, with Hull's try

A bit dubious them pens on BMM and Philbin

Justice that were through, after the reffing fluff up for Hull's first try.

More substance than style, but hey-ho, we're there.

Now the Wire

Pleased with that, I don't like kicking out on the last when you have an opportunity to dab through and force a drop out or potential try etc. We need to ask more questions, good completion though, good yardage made, far better discipline and not too many errors.

Toby King was obstructed on every attacking kick apart from the one he scored off! Gutsy today.

Come on now Halifax, I'd love grix to get them to Wembley.

Well done the Wire

Made up..in fact over the bloody moon love it when I'm proved wrong...well done wire..

I was worried the relenessness of pushing the same kick play was going to bite us in the arris with them going the length of the field but thankfully it worked. We got the job done. BMM did long minutes, good sign!

Can't believe you. Your posts prior to the game were so negative & so critical. We still don't know what your preferred side would be. For a non-playing, non-coaching but self installed expert ... you need to have a look at yourself. Pathetic.
