Is this a joke? Referee had a fantastic game. Best refereeing I have seen in a while.

Yep - Hull deserved it. They were given a way back into the match and took it and then when we couldn't respond they put their foot down
Fans outsung Wire too - at least on the tv
Too many errors in the tackle.
Carvell was immense - our best forward imo. (Disappointed he's going).
Hodgeson not kicking suggests he wasn't fully fit.
Fantastic final 5 mins but to be honest had we won it would have been an injustice - even though I'd have been ecstatic.
Agree that Briers had a quieter game than normal.
Benny W had a mixed game. Trent was fairly annonymous in the 2nd half but would have to watch it again to see why.
Holdsworth and Whiting had great games.

Wigan fan, per chance?

Well that says something about either the standard of reffing in general, or how many games you actually watch. Either way it was a poor show, but it's far from the first time this season.

Must also say, watching the game on TV several hundred miles away it looked a better atmosphere than I've ever seen for a Huddersfield game. Normally that stadium depresses me.

Please dont tell me you are blaming the ref.

He made mistakes both ways but didnt influence the result.

Llet Westwood get away with a high shot on Ellis and a forearm down on Miller.

Silverwood let the game flow pretty well and had zero bearing on the result.

Im stunned that some Wire fans are blaming the ref. I have never seen such a one sided ref. He gave Warrington everything. The video ref even gave a try that was a blatant knock on. If i was a Hull fan and we had lost that game i would have been livid. Justice was done in the end though and the better side won.

The club are pleased to announce that Chris Bridge has extended his current contract by a further 5 years!!!

Nope, not saying the result was down to him - we looked laboured from 20 minutes in and offered surprisingly little on the last play. Our halves were out of sorts and our front row were not the force they should have been. That's why we lost.

My comments about the ref are because it was a typical display from the northern hemisphere referees. They pick up on some stuff and not others, are inconsistent between games, some calls like a knock on vs strip or slowing the ptb, are an utter lottery and the offside is rarely, if ever, properly reffed. It's not so much a criticism of this match as a build up of exasperation over the season at how bad our reffing is, and it's a big part of why we'll not beat the Aussies again if our game is played at this speed and intensity.

I'm actually not that gutted now that I'm home having a cold beer and some donner meat n chips. My son was proper gutted (hes 10) but I'm glad he got to experience a close game in a decent atmosphere in a semi final and gets to understand we cant win every game.... the beatings make the wins all that sweeter,

I am gutted however I listened to my missus and ordered 6 tickets on the RFL website last night........

I'm going to leave it a while before I go and grovel on the FC site for any takers for 6 x row 8 ,block 114 tickets

Ok fair enough and i agree to a large extent.

Think the players, coaches and us fans should take some of the blame also but that is perhaps for another thread.
Good luck for the rest of the season.

Too much panic rugby (imo).
Yes, we like to play an expansive game, but there's a time and place, and a CC semi is not the place.
80 mins hard graft is what's needed. We looked good for the opening 10-15 mins, then we dropped off.

Bridge's kick was unfortunate. Had the ball gone 5 metres further, there'd be people liking him to Andrew Johns. Alas, it didn't, and Hull went 70m, and immediately, our guard was down. We made Whiting look like a world beater at times, and for 50odd minutes our treatment of possession was, quite frankly, a joke. WE DON'T NEED TO PERFORM A MINOR MIRACLE, EVERY SET OF SIX.

On average, when it's a reasonably level game, each side will have the ball 30odd times in a game......WE MADE 18, YES, 18 ERRORS. UNACCEPTABLE. We need to reign in the "devil-may-care" attitude to our play, and concentrate on doing what we need to do......win the game we are playing.

Silverwood had a decent game, no complaints from me. He got the big calls correct.

One thing baffled me slightly. Currie had a blinder last week, yet we leave it an hour before he makes an appearance.....strange. We have an outstanding talent in this lad (and an interchange left very late in the day), why leave it so late.

Anyway, well done Hull, the better side won.

Come on Wire, we've a League Leaders Shield and a Grand Final to play for.
BELIEVE.

I'm getting all Beatlesish since we got beat. Maybe a little Transcendental Meditation is in order. All together now.....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

An you do realize those people who were pulling the posts down.. Not 1 of them was wearing an Hull FC shirt.. Does us all a favour an do one with you pathetic posts bud..

Just got in and feel worse than I did after losing the Grand Final last year. Thread title says it all.
