Greatest in CC final history?

Great tries and attacking play are often remembered, rarely defence.

On a wetter pitch that would have been the winning try.

It was a great tackle but Currie should've still held onto the ball regardless and slide over

I know Sneyd had a great second half, but Houghton was man of match for me.

Warrington should have been out of sight really, but credit to Hull for sticking at it, yes Houghton was the best player on the field, but Sneyd's kicks were the turning point of the game, which was probably why he got the MOM

I agree, he put in a full 80 mins of gutsy play.

Wire weren't managing to get to Sneyd in the second half like they did in the first, but it was a credit to him that he stuck at it and produced some really big plays.

Houghton had to be MotM, though, and must surely be no worse than second in the England pecking order? He was a bloody superman out there.

I also thought Clark was excellent to be fair, and with the ball probably better than Houghton.

A great rugby moment. The pure determination of Houghton probably defies what Hull FC are about this season.
Great effort to put Currie off.

Think Shauls tackle was better
