| Quote ="Mrs Barista"I don't think it was "all wrong". Connor not done enough last few weeks to displace either Griffin or Carlos. A couple of the forward picks open to debate but majority correct IMO. The reality is Warrington have a more expensive squad with marquee usage, so most days should be beating us. When the players gift them 3 tries from errors you get that outcome. I actually enjoyed the game, a proper cup tie and not as stressful as other years where it felt the stakes were higher somehow.'"
I agree. Given the relative attendances and income from merchandise etc we are on a par with Saints, Wire etc. How Wire and Saints consistently have a more expensive squad is a mystery. We won't be able to challenge until this is rectified. Maybe it's time for Pearson to sell to someone who can realise the potential of the club.

| For me , we are batting above our average with the squad we have , we may somehow get to a a grand final with a bit of luck and brilliance. If so happy days . But next year will be a different story , with a different team hopefully!

It's not really a mystery as such. They both have wealthy benefactors and use the marquee rule. If you know of someone of Simon Moran's wealth keen to pump money in I' m sure AP would welcome a conversation.

Yes, and credit to the club, coaching staff and players for doing so. If we can hang onto a play off spot the return for the year will be a decent one.

No count me in
There are several others on here also who are too easily pleased.
I am gutted we have just lost a semi final match yet there is hardly any disappointment showing on here.
Warrington were the better side overall but our kicking game from Sneyd in particular was rubbish.
Still cant get over that team selection

seems a strange one with green behind fash and lane, could have shuffled the pack around to accommodate him,, kelly from the bench also is a handful against a fatigued side ,

Not easily pleased just honest at where we are, I'm disappointed we all are, but being a sore loser doesn't help anyone, I remember the wires and st helens clapping us when we beat them in the semis, that's the way it should be, as we know we have weaknesses in the pack which are being addressed, as you don't get us happy clappers I don't get the ones who dissect the team every time we lose, its sport, take it on the chin when we get beat by a better team on the day, we would all like to win every game, but I agree on team selection, why lane and fash get the nod above green is odd

No I also feel nauseous too, so full of their own self importance, it's unreal.
Sorry dull2524 for not posting sooner.
Plenty of effort there from the lads but not enough finesse in attack, Warrington's kicking game was exemplary but no need to repeat what has already been said.
No need to tell anyone how shoite we were either, as you put it.
I'd tell everyone however what an annoying tool you are but think most people already know that.
Disappointed yes, but not too distraught at the result.
Let's hope today spurs the team on for a real tilt at the GF starting on Thursday and unlike Barista I'm not writing the team off for that game.

| Disappointing display from Hull save from a spell in the first half. Even when we pulled it back to 16-14 I wasn't too confident that we'd go on and win it. Warrington were much better and we just didn't have the territory in the second half. We'd labour our way up to halfway then put in a poor kick and Wire would be in a good field position at the start of their set.
I have to say that unlike other recent semis I wasn't in the least nervous before the game and I don't feel any crushing devastation at missing out on Wembley. It just doesn't feel like our year. Hopefully next year with a stronger squad we can offer a stronger challenge.
Good luck to Warrington at Wembley, they came with a game plan and executed it brilliantly. Better team won.

Bit disrespectful but don't worry you'll get your wish. He's officially announcing next week that this is his final season.

Not really, they both own their won ground, are self sufficient and generating profits which allow them to invest in their squads
As for the game, I thought radford got his team selection wrong. green should have played. Anyone who thinks fash offers more than green wants to go and see their doctor. connor should have started at centre and griffin in the 2nd row with lane on the bench with green, ellis and bowden. hadley is better than lane but he's also on the naughty step with litten and green
We desperately need to improve our defensive line speed and aggression. wire were charging in, denying us easy metres whereas we just stand and wait for the opposition. It was that which ultimately won the game on the back of consistently good field position. look at the number of times sneyd was taken out when kicking the ball compared to austin.
It also annoys the hell out of me that our forwards do significantly less work with the ball than most opponents. We have props with 5 or 6 carries a game when opposition ones are doing 2 or 3 times as much work. We rely too much on backs for carries out of our 20 and wire today showed how easy that is to control. When needed cooper and hill were taking 1 or 2 carries a set out of their end
connor looked like he was sulking and was pretty poor overall but thought everyone else had a real go but at times we looked like a disorganised rabble and never really got into the game. We need some forwards who put in a real shift and who enjoy aggressive offense and defence. Hopefully those coming in will bring this.
It's really frustrating that despite all that and lots of dropped ball, we still could have won it had butter fingers minihello not dropped that ball on the 2nd tackle with 3 minutes left

| I forgot to say it was poor to take those 2 kicks at goal early on when we had wire on the rack. IMO we could have scored both times or at least looked for repeat sets and why was sneyd kicking the ball into touch on the last tackle early on it the game instead of putting in attacking kicks? Far too negative for me
