Ullman

The "battle of the bottlers" angle is one of the things that makes it such an interesting final for me. Really looking forward to it.

Sorry to hear your sad news. It's a tough time. Look after yourself, mate.

Obviously never seen him in the hot dog queue at Cott Tigers.

You ain't no senator's son?

Heard it through the grapevine.

I think the most damning thing I can say about that performance from Hull is that none of us were even surprised. Salford better in all departments and worthy winners.

TBF that got quietly dropped some time ago.

He wishes he was as quick as Tony Clubb.

First Super League game to end in a draw after going to golden point would do nicely.

Yes, long before you even put it there.

Just watching the Arctic Tour of Norway bike race on Eurosport and the helicopter got a great close up shot of a white tailed eagle.

Never mind the dog, was the bike OK?

It didn't look as if Tuimavave even went for the interception. He was pushing up in defence and Hampshire just passed it straight to him. Looked like he couldn't believe his luck. Not that he needed to rely on luck as he was superb today. There are a lot of big, quick and strong centres in the competition but few can match him for sheer class. The game itself was as scruffy as hell, not helped by the fact that the PTB was a complete mess. Both sides came up with a stack of errors but fortunately from a Hull perspective we had the players with the pace to take full advantage of Wakefield's and gain another two points for project fart in the room.

Bloody hell Gatesy, now that is scary.

Watched Ma'u play last week and was very impressed. He looks like the ideal replacement for Sika Manu to me. He's got a great engine, carries the ball strongly, hits hard in defence and is one of the best old school leg tacklers I've seen for some time.
