Warrington 24-12 Hull FC
Hull FC's season came to a disappointing but spirited end as they were dumped out the play-offs 24-12 by Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Peter Gentle's side were unable to maintain their recent impressive run as the Wolves edged a hard-fought tie that saw the Black and Whites stage a late comeback.

Hull defended resolutely before the weight of pressure eventually told and with their attack unable to make any inroads on the Warrington defence until late in the game, the Black and Whites were unable themselves to build any real pressure.
There was little between the teams in the first half with both coming up with too many errors for the liking of their respective coaches, but Wolves coach Tony Smith will have been the happier with his side leading 12-0 at the break.

Aussie Trent Waterhouse opened the scoring on 14 minutes, touching own after Jordan Turner had failed to hold on to a cross-field kick on his try line. Hull came back into the game and began to assert pressure on the Wolves try line, but a combination of a lack of any cutting edge and a solid defence kept them out.
Then with half-time approaching and the Hull players tiring Warrington scrum-half Richie Myler ran through a sizeable gap to double the advantage for his side.
Hull came out after the break refreshed but still unable to find a way through a resilient Wolves defence and when Stefan Ratchford chased down his own kick to score under the posts the game looked beyond Peter Gentle's side with 25 minutes still to play.
The game looked over as a contest when full-back Brett Hodgson raced over, but the Black and Whites finally found their bite in attack and Tom Briscoe started an unlikely comeback with a try from Aaron Heremaia's kick. Then when Ben Crooks scored moments after coming on, Hull had eight minute to find two more tries and keep their Old Trafford dream alive.
It proved too big an ask however, and Hull were left to contemplate what may have been.

"Bridrobin, look up the meaning of libel"
Foolbin, I don't need to, I know the meaning of libel and slander. It's a pity you don't get on your high horse when some of your fellow Gateshull (est. 1998) fans post such comments.”

“Rovers website updated
ZERO passes sold for next season.
Average sales per day since going on sale = ZERO
Average per day needed between now and the discount deadline of the 27th of October = 390
Ouch
It's not looking very good for the 10,000 target is it
He will still need 4,000 fans to turn up on the day and pay full whack.
Assuming 500 away supporters turn up.
Danger looms
ANYBODY ANY IDEA HOW HUDGELL IS GOING TO REPAY THE £1,500,000 LOAN TO THE ALLAMS WHICH IS DUE NEXT YEAR ?”

“Auntie S lammer,stop kidding yourself,you don't have any contacts at either club,if you did you wouldn't get everything wrong!
What about your "contacts" telling you that the Dobbins were signing Kurt Gidley,Cuthbertson,Keith Senior,Billy Slater,Lopini Paea etc none of whom ever came to fruition,then of course there were your statements that the RFL had purchased Odsal from the Bulls even though they only rent it from Bradford Council and of course that clubs only receive money from SKY when their matches are televised,I could go on and on,get real auntie S lammer YOU KNOW NOTHING. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
All you know is what you read in the papers,you are the archetypal Walter Mitty character,what a shame you can't find something to occupy your mind LIKE A JOB !!!!!!!"”

“Ossietta, Dixter the fraud claims to have been a seaman for most of his life, but it would appear that he has never got his head around East and West. He still confuses the two.
ie, His first embarrassing description of the old Craven Park springs to mind. lol”
