I'm not overly concerned, the core of the team is still young and there is no reason we can't challenge again next year. There's also a lot of stability with Paea coming back and Hadley and Abdul returning.

I think we put too much pressure on ourselves by losing easier games earlier on such as Leigh at home, not turning up at the Magic Weekend. Cas and Leeds have been able to rest players in recent weeks and its helped them get to the final.

Sickly? whys that? please tell

In parts yes, but in other parts not at all. We missed a fair few tackles and allowed Leeds to offload at will far too often.

It seems it's easier to win a 4 round knockouts cup comp than to win a 31 round comp
Brave gallant effort over the season

Best team won last night. We paid the price for a very slow start although we did well to get back into the game.

We probably made 'par' for the season, we were the third best team in the league. Outstanding at times but lacking somewhat in consistency and prone to too many poor performances. Our home form certainly needs to be addressed.

All in all though another great season. Cup winners and a top four place is a very pleasing return.

Why why why did we play like it was a kick about in the park for the first 20? We should have come out all guns blazing. Such a slow ptb and pack failed to make the meters at first.

Then for a while we start playing like Hull FC and then go to sleep for a bit before finishing the game really strongly. Last night was a lesson in playing for the full 80.... again.

I thought when we were playing and not sleeping we were actually the better team, which is really frustrating. Leeds on the other hand played consistently for the full 80 and took their opportunities.

No complaints from me, better team on the night won. Well done Leeds.

It's been a great season. One to remember. I'd really hope to see us at Old Trafford this year, I think the lads and fans deserved that. However, I'll happily take a narrow defeat in the semi and a challenge cup win on the back of some of the most entertaining games and tries ever in a Hull FC season. That for me in the most pleasing thing, we are great to watch, we don't win by drives down the middle.

Well done Radders and the full squad. Enjoy a well earned rest. All the very best particarly to Ellis, Fonua and Michaels.

Hull FC moment of the game for me was defending 3 (maybe 4?) sets of 6, some of it on our own line and then going 90 meters on the next 6 and scoring. Brilliant and worthy of the semi final.

I don't think they needs to be a big post mortem, we did start slow but I think it was more down to Leeds starting really well. We did well to keep them down to 12 points and to come back strong. We actually won the last 60 minutes 16 - 6.

Disappointed with the last effort on Sutcliffe but in the end it came down to a missed goal kick. We will be better for that experience another lesson learnt this team is going enough to grow together. We didn't disgrace ourselves and probably could have played smarter.

This club is where us as supporters want it to be and we will lose the big games and we will win them. What's important is we are in them.

Enjoyed the game and Leeds deserved their win. Appropriate that the 2 runaway leaders in the league will contest the Grand Final.

Agree 100% and to be fair I've yet to hear anyone say any different, we're in the mix and if you don't perform to the best and the opposition do then more often than not we'll get beat. Roll on next year.

No complaints from me about the result. I thought leeds were the better team and played really well whereas we were off the pace for much of the match and looked like we thought we just had to turn up to win. leeds looked like a side who knew they had to fight tooth and nail for the win and we looked like a side thinking about next week v cas.

Despite all that we still only lost by virtue of a missed goal kick.

Goal line defence was pretty good but all of the tries were pretty soft

I think the league will be more competitive next year and we will need to be significantly better to be in the mix IMO. League form has been patchy and some of the home performances have been unacceptable.

It's great that we've won the cup but this is probably the weakest SL ever and we've missed a real opportunity for this group to go down in the club's history for me.

Anyway, looking forward to next season

Well Done FC on being a part of a great, finely balanced Semi Final. Your travelling Fans were great, their reception of the players at the end of the match was brilliant. It was a great venue and occassion for Ellis to make his final bow, a club legend for both clubs. See you next year

Jesus, you are a prize fooking plum!!!
