Sat 5 Jun: CCSF: Hull FC v St Helens KO 14:30 (TV)

[dkw]

That's done it, brilliant by Grace but what a gamble that was. He misses it and Hull score.

[Szymala]

Never in doubt .

[Hela Wigmen]

Jake Connor should maybe wait to a game is finished before he starts giving it the biggun to opposition players. 

 

[Cheshire Setter]

Grace could have been the hero or villain there.   He could have left it til the 80th minute though.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

There are no rugby gods.

[DavidM]

That was a high risk pass just thrown blindly . 

[Davo5]

Shocking pass from Connor to seal the game.

[Cheshire Setter]

I think you’d have to say Saints have been the better team over the 80, but you have to feel for Hull to have the comeback snuffed out in such a cheeky way.

[Futtocks]

Coote hammers the final nail into Hull's coffin.

[Futtocks]

Morgan Knowles gets the BBC MotM.

[Cheshire Setter]

Is it me or does Connor very rarely get himself off the ground competing for high balls? It’s happened all match and I’ve seen it recently on TV games.   Obviously the dead leg in the 60th minute hadn’t helped him.

[Hela Wigmen]

Jake Connor again. He best hope he has an Irish nan, because that’s the only way he’s going to the World Cup.

Yeh cos hes been absolutely terrible in an England shirt. Not scored or set up any tries. Give you head a bang mush.

He’s nowhere close to Tomkins and this game and his last five have shown it. Sent us to Wembley, cheers Jake. 

[GeordieSaint]

Really good game. Well done Saints. Just about deserved it after a fine comeback from Hull. Knowles excellent. Really stood up against that massive Hull pack. 

Wembley here we come...

Ask Brett Hodgson, one of the great modern day full-backs. He's kept him there all year.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

A game that's left a poor taste in the mouth. Can't knock out effort, but that incident and some supposed professionals that are meant to look out for each other showing their true colours.

I won't congratulate them. I'm disgusted by it.

No because as soon as a grounded player is touched the tackle is complete now.

Hit then hard enough and they'll drop the ball in contact.

[Hela Wigmen]

Really enjoyed that game and we won, which is always an added bonus. Wouldn’t have had any complaints had Hull nicked that, they were in the ascendancy in that second half and scored some good tries. 

Jake Connor won it. At the biggest moment, he lobbed a ball to Regan Grace, whose not going to turn down that chance and then missed a catch for the final try.

Wembley, then. Terrifying. Warrington are in good form and the opposition we want to avoid here.

Couldn't agree more

He’s miles away from being a test fullback and his brainfarts will be difficult for Wane to ignore.

Exactly. Well, that and Tomkins’ form being lightyears ahead of Connor’s. 

[Ullman]

What a game.  I didn't think Saints were going to hold out at the end there. They really owe Grace big style.

Really proud of the Hull effort, especially in response to a rotten piece of luck with Griffin's injury.

[jacksy]

I wouldn't pick Connor at FB either. But to leave him out of the England squad all together is folly.

But we have done that to a great many players over the time ive been watching the game. So nothing new.
