Tactically spot on from wane. Shows we have got a plan B and we executed it well on the day.

Ha come on pal. Fairs fair.
Saturday made those last few weeks all worth it. I, as the rest of us were gutted walking away from the cas, saints, hudds games but id of taken those defeats all day long if it guaranteed a wembley win.
IMO we beat hull at their own game on Saturday, very impressive.
Looking forward to the play offs now
Fairs fair you OK say if we play as we did at Wembley do you think we can win the GF playing to that standard?
I will lay my cards on the table NO! Hull were dreadful in possession and YET could have won a game they logically had no right to win. 50% completion = a loss v every team in SL YET, Hull nearly won.
FWIW, I think Andy Farrell was very important in our victory.
Hull nearly won? Come on CP how do you work that one out, you could almost say that about every game that a team loses then if you are suggesting Hull nearly won.

Despite playing horrifically Hull had chances, we never had runaway length of the field breaks, until the last minute we had only scored 1 try from a misdirected pass rolling along the floor. The possession / field position dominance we had should have equated to a 40+pt win YET we struggled to do anything with mountains of ball / field position. The result could easily have gone pear shaped because in possession we were awful.

We watched a different game
Well I watched the same game as KW then, we basically dominated the game from start to finish. They made 1 clean break which we won the ball straight back on and apart from that it is not our fault they made mistakes. Yes we should have scored more points but we also made at least 4-5 unforced erors when we could have scored. Pat was held up over the line, as was Taylor, MM dropped on the line etc. Yes Hull was always in with a shout as there was only 10 points in the game for the majority, however did I ever think the win was in doubt? Never!!

Same game, different eyes. I was enjoying seeing my team winning the cup, you were looking for anything to back up your Dorahy comparison. It wasn't there. Get over it!

No intrigue.
Harris is Andy Farrell in disguise and at no time should anyone give Harris any credit.
As for CP your comment re Hull could have won. Maybe if they could have kept hold of the ball. But they never looked a threat and never looked like getting any momentum.
Watching the game again on TV the game was over after we went 8-0 up they looked out on their feet and apart from the break by Shaul they never got round the back of us at anytime.
