I've watched the game over 35 years and have never seen players so knackered.

The image was shown only for about 20 seconds by the BBC just after the final whistle, it was around 20 players lying or sitting down what looked like a battle field physically drained and lost in there own thoughts. There was 100% commitment from everybody.

I saw that and thought it resembled that too, stark contrast to the last few years, what warriors!

A fantastic effort by Houghton near the end, he seemed to put in the extra effort only afforded to a one club man.

A gripping game where either side would have been worthy winners, no grubby tactics, which helped the ref to breeze through.

Exemplary post match interview with Tony Smith, the bloke has class.

If Hull F.C. reach the G.F. maybe Radford could dip into his bonus to get a new suit & a top tooth.

Lol, the thought of Radders in a suit doesn`t compute. The missing tooth is his trademark.

Think Shauls tackle was better

Put me in mind of when Wigan were 8-0 up in the 2013 final and Shaul made the break and Charnley came out of nowhere to make the tackle on him.

In terms of impact it had and at the time it happened, I could never say Shaul's tackle was better.
