Marshall had his foot on the line, so you shouldn't have even had the field possession, never mind the ball to get up that end to score. As for Fonuas disallowed try, personally don't see how that was not given due to obstruction.

The obstruction was soft but Griffin didnt have to run into the defender he should have controlled the run.
Blew a try for Hull in my opinion

Did he say tat today?, i turned over once it was over

We were awful. MM, ST, GW did NOTHING. Fact is, our best player by some considerable distance is almost 35 yrs old. I'm sure the usual suspects will be on here, head in the sand, saying we are disloyal and the U19s are brilliant yadda yadda yadda. Wane out, and take those three with him.

Is Sam Tomkins even worth keeping around anymore?
Obviously haven't seen him play much but he's definitely not the player he was before he left for go NRL. wasn't concerned about none of your players today barring Williams.

Our reserve-reserve winger had a mare, we had two disallowed tries and were still 4 points off winning the cup. It's not the 80s anymore, sometimes we lose.

You had two disallowed tries, one was certainly correct the Clubb one was probably the correct decision too. Hull also had a try chalked off which could have easily been given.
Thought Tomkins was non existent for you today but SOL looked good moving the ball about.

I have no complaints about Hull being the better side but how people can say the Clubb one was no try is baffling. He was being held by 3 men and had the ball reefed out and even if he didn't have it reefed out there was a clear hand on it by the Hull defender and it came out. That is a penalty. There is no debate about it, it just is. That's the rules and in that circumstance in that position it is an 8 point try and at 18-10 down was a very crucial and incorrect decision by the Yorkshire video ref.

And to add, look at the defenders hand. His wrist is goose necked like an anchor to reef it out and it doesn't change shape as he takes the ball out. It was the wrong call and you know it. Anyone blessed with the gift of sight knows it.

Anyone else heard that Wane is stepping down at season end ??

There's something wrong with our game when the BBC news gives more time to the woman's RU world cup than it does to the C C final.

Hope so and hope that TL is not in the training team.

I wouldn't worry. The last 2 years by the BBC and Sky have been told to push women's sport apparently. They report on womens football every morning on the BBC about how such a person has been transferred to such a team but the truth is no body gives a toss but they think people do. There was a match last season between 1st and 2nd in the league and they built it up like it was gonna be a big game. It finished 10-0. Joke broadcasters.

ITV News did not even mention it at all

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.

Agree. Your player clearly had his foot over the dead ball line before the set your scored off in the second half.
