I don't mind losing fair and square...thats sport and what makes it so compelling and entertaining. Tonight was not decided by a piece of good skill or powerful physicality. It was decided by a totally inept official using the rules of a totally inept ruling body. And to add insult to injury, the so called expert analysts employed by Sky TV revelled in it, laughing and joking about it. Livid doesn't cover it. Robbery.

Agree with this, yes we were robbed but we also didn’t do enough to win without the dodgy call. Overall it’s been a better season than a lot expected and il take it as a building step towards an even much more improved season next year.

Burgess not playing Vaughan for much smacks of Smith not playing Hodgeson in the GF. Don't get it and it didn't work.

Wigan by 12 next week IMO.

You don’t deserve to be going into a Grand Final if you’re conceding barge-over tries from dummy-half
Sam Burgess.


Thats a problem we wont have next year with that individual who was at fault on both tries.

I blame Vaughan.

His indiscipline cost us the win at Leigh, and ultimately 2nd place.

And to add insult, he’s been bang average at best in the last 2 games.
Obviously not match fit.

Shock!! Is he having it away with your wife?!

Terrific performance by Wire tonight especially 2nd half.

I thought Rovers had the better of an an attritional 1st half and expected us to kick on and dominate the second half but the opposite happened It became a case of can Rovers hang on.

As the second half wore on I was more and more convinced that Wire would end up winners. One or two decisions went our way and Rovers looking out on their feet gave everything. Those last 15 minutes were torture probably for both sets of supporters.

I'm delighted to be in a GF featuring Hull KIngston Rovers but I'll admit the better team lost tonight.

Congratulations on a brilliant season and good luck for 2025.

Tough on Wire I'd say but a much better season for you and something to build on for the next one. Well done to your team! (Saints fan).
