Salford perhaps?

No tell you what lets go to the KC. That's neutral as well.

I worry how much your horizons have dipped and standards have slipped.

I've watched you dismantle Leeds twice and Huddersfield once in Wembley CC finals in recent years and as a neutral, I was in awe of the skill and dominance of all 3 Wire performance. Yet you are now saying you wouldn't beat Leeds, who you have dicked twice in SL this year, in the cup semi and Saints who were cackamallababshit against Widnes today and would be out of the competition on that performance if they had played another form team like us.

Leaving aside my partisan hat, from a practical standpoint, you will start as underdogs against Hull KR, unless your halves start to play with creativity, flair and a kicking game in the coming weeks. This facet of your game has vanished this year. Ben Westwood and Ben Currie aside, your back rowers look below par as well.

We blew you away 2 weeks ago at ours and in our first half hour against Cats we were unstoppable. They unlocked us second half with a combination of Harlem Globetrotter rugby, individual flair and some questionable referreeing decisions. That ain't your lot at the mo, sorry.

we`ve been awful this year so you can understand why we are delighted at this draw... and no doubt kr are as well..to get to wembley would be a bonus..should kr wallop us again you`ll have my support in the final

Re: CC semi final draw : Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:42 pm  

It won't Friday and that's definite. It'll will almost certainly be on the Sunday.
I don't know the dates but would soccer play a part in the venues. Huddersfield Town may be playing?
Or even Hull City to count out the KC for our Robins friend.

Urgh, Is Pickering Red typical of how Rovers supporters are going to be for the next 5 weeks.

I think our game will be at Huddersfield & the Stains V Leeds game will be either Salford or the HJ with Salford most probable because of its direct links to the M62

Nothing outside of Wire would give my greater pleasure that to see Tyke lift the CC as captain of KR.

Re: CC semi final draw : Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:49 pm  

The games are being played on Friday and Saturday. I'd guess we're likely to be the Friday game, presumably in Huddersfield.

Re: CC semi final draw : Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:53 pm  

Leeds Official Twitter feed has just said that one of the Semis will be played on a Friday night.
That would be so unfair on travelling fans, particularly Rovers or Us.

Talking rubbish yet again. There isn't even a semi-final on the Sunday.

Nothing wrong with telling it as it is, mate.

Agree with your prediction of Huddersfield as our semi final venue.

If you get Grix back and move Ratchford to the halves, Kevin Penny to fullback and assuming Monaghan is fit again, I might panic.

Re: CC semi final draw : Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:58 pm  

Although I think the HJ with host Saints and Leeds as there will be question marks over the DW perhaps of Wigan Athletic and logistics and parking are a big issue at Salford.

If like what has been said it a Friday then I guess rfl have already marked it for Huddersfield and by staging it on a Friday it wont clash with soccer.

Paul Y haven't you anything remotely worth reading to say?
