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!!!
Did you get a wave from your lady friend?
Nah, as usual you wouldn't have been there.
Your a Tosser with a capital T.

Yourself, knocker and barista should really stop bickering. I'd understand if you're all still at school but I don't think you are

Bickering?
The Quit with the name calling please. Karen. wanted Radford sacked 3 seasons ago.
We've just won 2 Challenge Cups and reached 2 Super League semi-finals.
The *********** would of had us on our knees if he'd of had his way!

2 cracking semi's. Honestly thought it would be a Hull v Cas final. We threw everything at you for the first 20 minutes, so it is a bit unfair for some FC supporters blaming the team for "starting slowly".
For what it's worth, I would have supported you guys in the final as I'm sick of Cas fans arrogant attitude. Like you against us, we have a terrible record against Cas and we need to break the hoodoo!

The game last night was many things, "cracking" isn't one of them.

Really disappointed - 2 years running we have come up just short.

Fonua immense last night, how many carries & metres made ?? Replacing that will be nigh on impossible.

Major positives - absolute commitment from the squad, fitness & conditioning - Leeds were blowing well before us. Couldn't believe Cuthbertson forced that drop out with a kick on about the 27th offload last tackle !! BUT I think they outskilled us in their offloads & all round handling, our defence was mainly exceptional but needed to be.

Next year will be tougher with Wire, Wigan & Saints likely to be stronger, maybe Hudds. too, not to mention Salford & Cats ( if they survive today ).

Agree massive overall improvement in the club - 4 years ago the last two years would have been a fantasy. IF we are to step up I think it is attack that needs the focus, whether that is some assistance in the coaching for Radders or adding creativity & pace in the squad or both.

Still massive congratulations to AP, Radders all the back room staff & the players for two great years

I never bicker with WIZEB. I just share my honest thoughts from the ground during a game about the potential outcome. Right again last night, sadly.

Too bad a head to bicker.
Just sat at my Leeds hotel bar sinking a Stella to nurse me round.

Five Stella consumed and heading shortly to the Groves Inn for some hand pulled bitter.
I may get a few more down before this afties 3-38pm train back to Ull.
Quite like this Clayton hotel. It's fanny central.
Hen nights just arrived at the bar.
The Groves might have to wait. ☺

We have to remember that two years ago we'd been well beaten at home by Leeds in the Challenge Cup quarter finals. We then limped into the top eight by winning at Craven Park in round 22 before being hammered at home by Wigan and we then went on to lose six out of seven Super 8 matches and finished fourteen points off the top four.

Back to back Cup wins and two third place finishes since then is terrific progression.

Brian McDermot said that was the best 25 minutes Leeds have played for a very, very long time. That we came back to be only 6 behind at the break is a credit to the endeavour the players put in. That we put ourselves in front shows how good a side we are.
However mistakes were made - thought Shaul could have done better for Ward's try were he just looked and did nothing to stop it, was one that stood out in the first half, but there were plenty of others that do need looking at (Tackling for their last try was very poor) and no doubt will be looked at so that we can be better in the future.

The effort was outstanding, Ellis running down Walker in the second half was incredible but just execution was lacking at times, the last 10 minutes we just did not control things as we should have (As Radford mentioned), against a side like Leeds you can't afford to do that.

Whilst Leeds were superb that first 25 minutes you can't help but wonder if how we played that first segment was in any way influenced by the team only getting to the ground an hour before kickoff, it certainly can't have helped what with all the pressure of the game being there in any case. why you would want to leave it so late to leave on a Friday afternoon is anyone's guess but that needs to be addressed as a matter of course.

Very positive season, some disappointments of course but then it wouldn't be Hull FC if it was all perfect.
