C'mon you Hull

[East Coast Tiger]

It would be good to see a different team make the GF, they deserve it after finishing second, they looked almost good enough to beat Saints and I'm sick of Bradford making the GF. Oh and they've got he least number of imports of any side in the comp (I think) while Bradford still has a heap of them. And Bradford screw the Kiwis out of their players too. Any other reasons to go for Hull?

No come on Bradford!

I want the Bulls to triumph in a titanic semi final, as they would then collapse pityfully at the feet of St Helens as they have done so many times previously.

The chance to make it 6-0 would be too funny for words, particularly if we could invite Robbie along.

Hull though I feel would have a 50:50 chance of winning. They know how to frustrate St Helens and if they get it right on the night in attack they have the ability to stride home.

As a purist i want to praise 2 young Hull players who wouldn't normally don't get much of a mention, in a good team performance prop Scott Wheeldon did a fine job doing a ton of the hard yards which others struggled to do, Wheeldon is not a big prop, at 20yo he has a lot of physical development to do and the first time he took the ball up he got smashed in a 3 man tackle by Vagana, Newton and one other, i didn't think he would get up but 2 tackles later he was driving it forward and making good metres as he continued to do. Well done to him.

Graham Horne also came on and added a bit of mobility and good ball running, he has a certain x factor about him with his jinking and deceptive style. He looks to have grown much taller this season which helps him play in the backrow after playing in the backs as a junior, hope his injury dosen't keep him out of the GF.
On the other hand Lee Radford was a joke, in the leadup it was often menioned how his experience would help the team, well he dropped balls, fell off tackles and was poor in attack, offering nothing. A few of his misakes could've cost them the game.

Hooray. Good result. Bradford were a bit hard done by but tough luck. Hull 4 imports Bradford 8 and most of Hull's British players are local Hull products too and I always like to see local sides triumph. I can't see them beating Saints, especially if they make the mistakes they did today, but it will make for much better GF. It's great to see a new team make it instead of a combination of the big four.

Go St Helens in the Final. Judas to have a blinder before Tri Nations!

Eddie and Stevo carried on like idiots again in reference to the Withers forward pass, someone tell Stevo there is no such thing as "momentum rule".
The ball was thrown forwards out of the hands, end of story.

I thought the pass was fine myself but Eddie and Stevo did carry on like idiots. Not necessarily after that decision, just generally. I don't think there is a commentator alive that knows less about the rules of the game than Stevo and what's worse is he's blind. He should become a touch judge himself for all the things he misses, sees incorectly or misinterprets.

You get a laugh out of Eddie and Stevo.They could not be any worse than Vautin and M.Johns.

I thought Hull got the rough end of the stick aginst Sts last week when Meli scored the matchwinner from a forward pass . This week we got the rub of the green . That's sport . As for Eddie and Stevo ranting on about the Withers' pass , it's no surprise as either of them rarely has a good word to say about Hull . We go into next week as firm underdogs , just like we did against Leeds in the CC final last year . Bring it on . I can't wait . I've been to every GF so far but to go and see YOUR team play there is the ultimate .
