Yes. I erased that day from living memory only at 11 am this morning.... Thanks for that Sir AM

Given Sky may have live coverage of tiddlywinks during the semi weekend, we may have to play our game in Turkmenistan on a Wednesday morning. Could see a large turnout.

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.

If we get Grix, Russell and Rhys Evans back fit plus England back from his ban then we will have a few options for Smith to pick from. Hopefully Monaghan and Bridge wont be long term knocks either

Having us and kr play on a Friday night is unfairto everyone involved, if kr are pushing it to avoid a clash with something else, then let's host it at Leigh and they can come over.


Rugby head on, no to Friday night it's just wrong, or hey let's play it 7 30 on Thursday

The games are to be played Friday and saturday, to have a semi final on a Friday is ridiculous imo but in hull on the 1st of August on the Saturday there is Humber street sesh and the Campbell v Coyle (2 hull lads east v west) so I would imagine kr Will want as many fans as possible the Saturday wouldn't be too good for us so I can see why the club would want the Friday it's not ideal as if it was Saturday and Sunday as usual we would push for the sunday, it's not ideal but it is what it is

Logic would be for the BBC to set up at the John Smiths for the whole weekend

Leeds V Saints at John Smiths

Wire V Hull Kr at ............ Keepmoat ?

Re: CC semi final draw : Sun Jun 28, 2015 8:47 pm  

I can definitely see the RFL wanting a RL ground for one if not both semis

Headingley for ours

and begrudgingly a shared footy/RL ground for the other.... Hudds?? Well, that plant pot that was on here for days, after the England spitting incident, had to get a tiny bit of glory for his club, didn't he? Needy so'n'so

Re: CC semi final draw : Sun Jun 28, 2015 9:47 pm  

Headingley on Friday for you lot according to Aaron Bower (journo)

HJ on Saturday for Leeds/Saints

Good luck with the M62
