Enjoy you million pound games tomorrow and next week.

Back on the ponderosa... well done Warrington. - you played miles better than Hull this week and deserved to win!

See you again in two weeks (i hope!)

Really buzzing and have a big unit of ale to celebrate. Can't believe we've pulled the iron out of the fire like that. We looked better balanced tonight but
the attitude won it. I think last week hurt the players and TS a lot, hence his first response to Sky saying that 'were not bottlers like we've been accused of sometimes'.

The mental attitude won it for me and the sense of being written off and scores to be settled won it. TS v media and opinions, our wingers especially Lineham who had a point to prove, Westerman had a stormer against old club. But our big players in Hill, Clark and Ratchford more than stepped up. Evans was brilliant in his natural position. Pattern was fantastic. They all deserve a pat on the back. Very proud Wire tonight.

You play players in their correct position's, you (moreover often than Not) win

Yep - agree with that, and after my absolute disgust at the cave-in last week I was really pleased with that performance - although never got too excited as I expected us to cave in like last week - even with 10 mins to go.

We've now shown we can do it, so let's concentrate on the same again. Selection headaches for Tony.

If 'the bottlers' bit really stung the team and TS (in particular), then it should have done and I'm pleased it did.

I understand that but Hull didn't really test our potential weaknesses.
No kick pressure on Russell.
No kicks making Lineham turn.

If we have the same team - or something similar next week - I can imagine what KC will be saying.

Nevertheless, let's enjoy the moment.
Good performances all round.

Outstanding, last week was a painful reminder of how hard it can be to follow the wire and tonight was the exact opposite. So proud to wear the shirt tonight and to a man they all earned every bit of praise. Lineham has tested us but he was excellent tonight as was penny, ratchford and patton managed the game brilliantly. We overplayed but when we did it was in the right areas, we managed the field position so well tonight. Optimism has grown tonight, I thought before the cup we would lose the final and go on to win the rest, I seriously doubted that last week but now I wish I had put the bet on.

Re: Tonights game. : Fri Sep 23, 2016 11:36 pm  

Hull were poor but boy did our lads give it everything tonight and I am so proud of them.

Tonight we were daring in attack and concentrated in defence, which is all you can ask for. Sure, the odd offload hit the deck and the odd break was made, but each player knew what his job was and had faith in his inside man in defence. No easy walk-ins for opposition wingers, no desperation runs out of the defensive line.

Players like Russell and Hill put their body on the line for the team; players like Patton and Clark kept their eye on the game plan and got us to minute 80 with the scoreboard in our favour.

What an effort to win the LLS and reach a cup final in a season where most of us would have been happy with us re-establishing ourselves among the top four. Well done to the whole club. But let's aspire to more and shove a big fella right up Eddie Hemmings' booty and get ourselves to Old Trafford - with tonight's courage and application, it isn't so daft a thought.

Come on you Wire.

Agreed and I would love nothing more than Stevo being sent in to retirement by wire shoving it to him. So proud tonight, excellent performance.

Well, can't say I'm too surprised. As one of the few who didn't see such a big drama in last week's result, I similarly am not shocked tonight. Hull have struggled since the CC Final, and looked pretty average again tonight. We controlled the game well, without looking as slick in attack as last week. Main difference was ability of opposition.

Evans at centre is the key move for me. Gidley and Sandow should play if fit-it's the time of year for the big guns; but if they're not, then we shouldn't be too worried with our back-up. If they do play, then I think Ratch and Russell both have to start, so it's back to Ratch at FB (still his best position), Matty on the wing, and then a toss up between Penny and Lineham.

I don't think we especially missed Currie, which I thought would be the case (he was quiet in second half of season anyway), and Wilde covered OK. Pack still looks very good, and I think should have too much for Saints. If Clarke can keep his form (best player in the league for me in the past 2 months), we'll go awfully close this year.

Would rather be away to Saints than have home 'advantage', but I like the idea of having to beat Saints and Wigan to finally get the monkey off our back
