Couldn't help but think, surely Leeds will hammer either of these, but a deserved win for HKR. Kelly sure has his weaknesses in defence (remember how Wigan targetted him when they thrashed HKR), but there's nothing wrong with his excellent kicking game. Sio's try was a peach.

well done Hull kr, thoroughly deserved it, wire looked clueless at times reminded me of when we beat saints in 2009, although we had to wait a hell of a lot longer than they did.
2 good close-ish games,and good atmospheres that's how semi finals should be not the walkovers in front of a few thousands mildly interested spectators like we had a couple of years ago!

wonder how many tickets will be sold on ebay from the warrington area?



Probably none, since we've got a pre order system, that only kicks in if we win.



Now who looks foolish, HA!

Well done Hull K.R. really pleased for their fans a thoroughly deserved visit to Wembley.

Respect to Tony Smith, what a top bloke - although he should stop Briers coaching on the pitch.


I thought he was in the 17 !

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

hopefully the end of the ludicrous Friday night experiment for one what should be one of the showpiece games of the season.


1.3 million watched a great game on TV, 69% more than watched the Leeds semi final in 2014.

If your figures below are same again or similar.......

Almost 7 million people watched Eastenders on BBC1 last Friday at 8pm. 6 million watched Corrie at 8:30pm on ITV.

The biggest Friday night audience for any other channel was 1 million for Location, Location, Location on Channel 4.


.....would make it the 3rd most watched program in the country on Friday night behind the 2 soaps.

What a flipping disaster!

I blame the RFL etc.

You come at the king - You better not miss.

It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?

i do feel for leeds fans in a way, as with a semi final you want to enjoy the day, it's the occasion rather than just a match, and friday night takes that occasion away for me, i can understand the frustration.

however i don't really feel for leeds in terms of venue, as to my knowledge, they have usually had the benefit of not having far to travel, last year was the first time in 9 years that they had to travel outside of yorkshire for a semi final, Huddersfield on the other hand have only had 1 semi final in yorkshire in the same period, ironically the 2006 semi at odsal, where leeds fans were so cocksure of brushing away the challenge of these upstarts,their fans gave the semi final a miss and splashed out on final tickets instead :lol: :lol:


Matbe hudds would get more semis in Yorkshire if they got into as many semis as Leeds :wink:

I enjoyed the Friday night semi final, the only negative were the road works on the m62 on the way back

The more games on terrestrial TV the better. It would be good if they could get some league games on similar to the first deal the BBC signed for the football league a few years back. Where they got 10 live games.

Absolutely: say it long and say it loud. Probably did a lot more for the profile of the sport than Wigan choosing to play an odd game in Millwall.
