Was the performance at Odsal the best ever Hull FC performance?



13 tries, only concede one, away from home. Played some very expansive stuff and other than the first two minutes, never looked like letting anything in.



Only other performance which compares is the semi final win over St Helens in 2005.

It was a great result but no way our greatest ever performance.



The Saints semi win was against the best team in the country, Bradford tonight were truly awful.

Agreed, Bradford were V poor.



It's the first time is years I can recall not drop the intensity and absolutely take the opposition to the cleaners.

It was a great win but far from our greatest ever performance, let's enjoy it but not get carried away.

Hence the ? At the end of the opening line of the opening post.



There were not that many unforced errors (not that many forced to be fair), not many missed tackles and out attacking play was varied and effective.



The St's Semi in 2005, Leeds at home in 2002 and the premiership final in 1991 spring to mind as better against better teams?

The 35-20 win at central park in the late 80's? Against the best team in the game.

We've actually put a team to the sword tonight. Killed a game off utterly for the first time in years without letting the other team get within 12 points. Gentle must have really stung them after the Widnes game.



What made it for me was the passion, the rush to high-five and the spirit when a tackler forced an error. That's what wins games.

The Saints semi at Huddersfield would have to win the one from recent memory.



We went in to that one with not a hope in hell, treating it as our day out cup final. And then did a very thorough job on a spectacularly good Saints team.

The narrow defeat against the Aussies has to be the best because of the opposition. This was good but miles from being the best ever.

Only if you consider spending the 1st 20 minutes lamping anything above grass, as being a great all-round performance

We were playing just about the full Australian touring side at Rugby League not bl00dy tiddlywinks!

Good shout.



That was the game which made everyone realise that Brian Smith was the real deal.
