| Firstly congratulations to Hull, on reflection a deserved victory.
I thought we started the game well and we're in control. That changed when Farrell gave away a stupid penalty by not getting up to play the ball. From that point Hull for the most part were the better side though I don't think by as larger margin as some are suggesting.
Wane is right when he said the difference was the last tackle plays, unlike some I like TL but we need a #7 with a better boot as our kicking game was poor, theirs by contrast was excellent. We were in the game until the final whistle and with a little luck would have pinched it.
The Clubb no try was a farce, one camera angle clearly showed the ball stripped and then Clubb grounded it. Terrible decision by Child however this is where the rules are wrong. I believe the only reason the try was disallowed was this nonsense about having conclusive evidence to overturn the on field decision and that is what put Child in 2 minds. IMO the refs call should only count if the VR cannot make a decision as the replay is inconclusive.
I find our team incredibly frustrating, they are obviously capeable but are too cautious. When we move the ball we cause problems but don't do it frequently enough.
Last word for Marshall, the criticism is unfair imo, an hour before kick off he was ready to watch the game from the stands, for a kid then to be thrown into a cup final in those circumstances must have been incredibly difficult, Talanoa is far bigger and always likely to be able to out jump him, the fault there lies with the lack of pressure on the kicker not with Marshall.
ATEOTD we conceded three tries in a cup final, two from last play kicks and one from a pass which went to ground, we scored three and had a fair try chalked off. That's far from a disaster.

| It must have been a tactic. FPN for example in the first half, barely made any contact with a Hull player and went down on to his front. Called a surrender tackle, but jeez is virtually a voluntary tackle

He's done it all season mate, obviously being coached that way. Sad thing is when he does drive he can make metres and has a good offload in him. Complete waste of a jersey.

If he is, I just don't understand. Refs give defenders more time in the tackle if it's they call surrender don't they? This sort of defeats the object.

| When the signing of 'The Wrecking Ball' was announced I googled 'Frank Paul The Wrecking Ball' expecting to see numerous NRL videos of him skittling defences. What i found was one video of him giving a penalty away after cheap shotting somebody on his way back to the defensive line. I knew right then he was going to be poop. I should have warned everybody , sorry

| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "Whether it was the wrong decision or not, you definitely can't say you lost the game as a result. Hull would have still been 2 points ahead, and the game is a completely different game. The Burgess try wouldn't have happened for a start, and as the game went past 70 minutes we started just kicking for corners and running the clock down. Who's to say that with just a one score lead we wouldn't have looked to be more positive and scored again ourselves. Equally you might have scored back to back tries and won, or you might have dropped it in the following set allowing us to re-establish our 8 point lead. Nobody could ever know how the game would have panned out.
I don't mind anyone saying it was the wrong call, but to suggest it cost you the game when you would have still trailed with 15 minutes left is silly. If you want something to blame, your very poor front row is a good place to start. Did FPN make a single metre after contact?'"
But on the other hand only one team looked liked scoring in those last 15 mins so I know my money would have been on a Wigan win. Doubly so given you'd only been able to match us try for try in the preceding 65 mins despite an overwhelming possession and field position advantage. I suppose you can argue whatever you like in the final analysis. What I do know, however, is we were robbed of 6 points in a game we lost by 4. Says it all really.
