Probably the worst game I've ever seen. Hull were terrible and never in the game. Saints were worse, probably setting a world record for unforced errors tonight. James Childs came up with one of his trademark performances in a game involving Saints. I won't say he's corrupt and a cheat as I'll sound bitter, but he's definitely been paid off and he's a crook.

Eh? I thought the all powering Saints side would sweep aside everyone in the super 8s and cruise to grand final glory.


Child ain't a cheat or a crook. Incompetent at times at worst.

Yet 1st 15-20 minutes second half he did as much as he possibly could could to get you over the try line

Funny how fans view things as many hull fans thought he was worse for us and more lenient for saints around the ruck for laying on

He was bloody awful tonight and did his level best to penalise Hull with questionable decisions. Not sure what the final penalty count was but pretty sure it was in St's favour.

A knockonathon on a wet night, Saints pushed to hard trying to score on every play instead of laying down a good platform set after set.

HullFC were more steady and played a waiting game both defences were good, both attacks poor, Hull just played a more steady game.

With 4 players ruling themselves out on the day or the day before the game, a prop playing at centre and up against the new favourites for the grand final on their home ground, I'll take that win. Bit of a cushion in 3rd now, potentially rest some players next week and travel down to Wembley!
