Umm, get over it maybe? Im already over it.. I know we didn't deserve to win tonight after the second half performance, but if you want to go around and make yourself feel good by thinking your making me feel bad, please, go for it

I canb lift my head high.. We where constantly the second best team all year, only ever loosing twice in a row ONCE and that was when we got screwed against Manly before getting threashed by Brisbane. Im very happy that my team even made the top 8 let alone the preliminary final!

Fielden will win it. Vickery is a good sport though to wanna fight Fielden

Remember posting this. Seems funny after getting knocked down with a broken nose by Perry Mason.

Fielden obviously hasn't been putting in much practice for the fight.

He played like him against the Wallabies last year.

Andrew Sheridan, he can bench press 215kg, 32 stone or 480lbs

it would surprise me greatly if berrigan could do much more than 200 POUNDS

[Wogboy]

Vickery is a chode and will lose his steam very quickly, Fielden for the win quite easily IMO.

No, Andrew Sheridan is the one closer to us, the bald guy on the far side is Phil Vickery. Sheridan is a monster, he absolutely anniholated the Aussie scrum last year, such a strong man he seriously injured Matt Dunning in a scrum and he had to be stretchered off.

Great Britain prop Stuart Fielden is to take on England second rower Lee Radford in a one-off charity boxing match to help raise funds for Steve Prescott, the former rugby league star who is suffering with stomach cancer.

Fielden, who became the world's most expensive forward when he moved from Bradford to Wigan last season, and Hull star Radford have both agreed to meet in the ring at the KC Stadium early next year to help provide financial assistance for ex-Hull and St Helens favourite Prescott.

There will also be a full professional boxing programme taking place prior to the 'Battle of Super League' with some top local talent on display - but all eyes will be on the main event between the two hardened Yorkshiremen.

Fielden is no stranger to the physical side of his sport, with a reputation as being one of the enforcers of the British game, although that was dented slightly when he had his nose broken by Australia forward Willie Mason during the current Gillette Tri-Nations competition.

Radford too relishes the physical nature of the code, and was part of the Federation Shield-winning England team that recently overcome a very physical and ill-disciplined Tonga side who were not scared of letting their fists do their talking.

Radford admitted: "Stuart has had a bit of sparring recently with Willie Mason, and half the Tongan travelling party gave me a bit of a warm-up, so it should be a decent fight.

"We are going to enjoy it and hopefully raise plenty of money for a great friend.

"We are expecting all the big names to come and join us on the night and, although the professional boxers on show will obviously be sharper than me and Stuart, we will be putting on a real show for the public."

Event organiser Mike Smith added: "Lee and Stuart, who play arguably the toughest game in the world, are prepared to stand toe-to-toe to raise money for a mate.

"Therefore, we would ask people to lend their support and join with us to make this a night to remember.

"Even before we announced the night officially, the interest in the rugby world was phenomenal and we have already sold half of the allocated space."

The event will also feature a set from comedian Mike Lodge, speeches from various rugby league legends, a raffle and an auction including sporting memorabilia.

The Hull FC grapevine e-mail has dubbed it the Rumble on the Humber, with Lee 'the rocket' Radford and Stuart 'one punch' Fielden. Thought that was quite amusing. I tip Radford on points.

Why wouldn't he? What....he might break it more? Broken noses are rarely fatal and won't stop you from running, passing or tackling.

The charity boxing match between Great Britain prop Stuart Fielden and England second rower Lee Radford has a new venue due to huge public interest.

The fight - to raise funds for ex-rugby league star Steve Prescott who has stomach cancer - was to have taken place at Hull's KC Stadium.

But it will now be held at the nearby Hull Arena, where it is hoped over 2,000 people will attend.

The event is scheduled for early in the new year.

Organiser Mike Smith said the decision to switch venues came after he received a huge number of calls from the public about the bout.

"We knew this would attract a certain amount of attention, but certainly not to this extent," said Smith.

"My phone was ringing all weekend with people reserving tables and generally asking about the event.

"It has to be said the KC Stadium were very helpful but the sheer numbers made the decision an easy one.

"There will now be an option for people to purchase tickets for the boxing side of the show and still the other option for those wishing to take tables."

Fielden, who became the world's most expensive forward when he moved from Bradford to Wigan last season, is one of league's toughest stars.

He had his nose broken by Australia forward Willie Mason during the current Tri-Nations competition.

Hull star Radford was part of the Federation Shield-winning England team that overcame a very physical Tonga side.

He said: "Stuart had a bit of sparring recently with Willie Mason, and half the Tongan travelling party gave me a bit of a warm-up, so it should be a decent fight.

"We are going to enjoy it and hopefully raise plenty of money for a great friend."

The event for ex-Hull and St Helens favourite Prescott will also feature an undercard featuring professional boxing, a set from comedian Mike Lodge, speeches from rugby league legends and an auction including sporting memorabilia.
