Just the way it looked to me mate.....not taking anything away from you at all but Morley and the turncoat and the Andersons totally dominated your pack and the game was lost there for you.....teams need a big pack and just thought yours was easily dominated and your pack isnt small either.

I wonder if the defeat still hurts tonight, just as much as it did last night?

Yes

Unlucky yesterday, Hudds. But One day, one day...

I don't think it was the Wire pack which was the problem for Hudds. Apart from them getting a bit of stage fright, what undermined them was that Wire played wide. That split the defence which is normally so effective. Play up the middle and Hudds will win; play out wide and the opposition will win. Unless Brown adapts Hudds' play a bit more to counter the fact that coaches have probably got the measure of Hudds now.

Hudds certainly did deserve to be there and as has been said better to get to the final and lose than not get there at all.

I think the "not good enough to be at wembley comment" was in response to who J.I.M supports though

I am sorry but Warrington are certainly NOT used to the "big" occasions, but they managed to play a fantastic final anyways

I thought that overall Wire just about deserved it but Hudds were unlucky with three tries that could have changed the direction of the game. Wire's first try should have been a knock on. Hudds 2 disallowed tries in the first half should have been given.

pretty much sums it up

Wire were deserving winners, but if the decisions had gone the other way, we might not have looked so shell shocked and played like we can.

I'd ignore the clown if I were you. After all he did come up with this piece of pre-match insight -Got a gut feeling mathers is gonna have a shocker.

I reckon warrington are going to totally bottle it to be honest.[/i



I think the terminology around these parts is 'know nowt fekkwit'.

I assume you mean Gareth Carvell. Just explain to me why he is a 'turncoat' and, for instance, Robinson, Hodgson, Griffin, Mason etc are not?

from a wire fan dont rule out old trafford.seeing post on here some fans of so called big clubs sound a bit scared of hudds go for it.

Becuase he signed a new contract then 2 days later decided he'd rather he hadn't signed it which had a sizeable impact on buggering up FC's recruitment for that year. AKIF none of the players you mentioned did that?

That's the same Carvell who was all set to sign for Saints, then accepted (and did sign ) a new contract with FC which meant that FC got £50k for him when they'd have got sod all from Saints. I should imagine that the £50k 'had a sizeable impact on assisting FC's recruitment for that year'. Merely part of the professional transfer merry-go-round. Players 'change their minds' all the time about who they'll play for. You're simply naive if you think otherwise.

all set to, and actually signed being two different things of course.
