If I were to explain it i'd say that the huge build up - with the film beforehand and then the players running out with their own kids etc might have played a part - they started off like a storm and if that'd been left to develop it might have been completely different. The sin-binning and the couple of tries Hull got back immediately plus another just on Jefferies return meant we started playing as individuals and panicking, probably partly because of the huge expectation they were carrying on their shoulders. Mistakes built upon mistakes and Hull were on their game and Shrek and Lynch were superb in making metres and off loading. Logically the best team won, but I'd love to have seen the game without the sin-binning.
Remember Eddie's only happy when he's moaning. This lot of players have made me proud to be a Bulls fan on lots of occasions this year, and I knew someday that our 71-0 defeat of Hull post CC win would eventually be given us back, what goes around etc, love the fact they can't get KR out of their minds even when thrashing us though, and of course their fans are largely great fun and good humoured tonight for obvious reasons!
Well done Hull, COYB playoffs still there to be claimed, just need Widnes and Wigan to do us a favour.
