Magnificent performance. Hard to believe we could relax totally in the last 20 minutes. I can't recall such a complete performance. Fages brilliant kicking game, Levi dominant around the ruck, backs dangerous all game, forward power fabulous. But clever game plan was probably the most important feature. Well done to all the crowd, great atmosphere.

I agree very good performance.The only downside to having Huddersfield in the final is your fan base is so poor and will reflect in the attendance at the final.

Well it didn’t take long for the first negative comment did it.
Why should it matter to you how many attend the final? Last year no one attended! And if you care so much then why don’t you buy a couple of tickets.

I said a very good performance by Hudds thats hardly negative
The reason attendance matters is its live on TV and S/L needs all the terrestrial TV coverage it can get. That extra 10000 another S/L club with good support would have taken to the final would have just about filled the ground

What like Catalan? Or salford?
Are you suggesting that only teams that can guarantee a minimum number of ticket sales should compete?
Huddersfield took 20,000 to their last CC final.
Huddersfield town could well be playing at Wembley on the Sunday so who knows how many might just decide to go to the game seeing as they are already in the capital.
Filling a ground with support isn’t always positive- KR fans were bragging about how many they took yesterday, but were fighting in lumps, chucking beer, letting off smoke bombs next to the pitch and getting chucked out by stewards- so more isn’t always better!

Don't be drawn into an argument about crowd numbers. More important is the performance on the field and Saturday's was brilliant. Anyone doing one on our neighbours gets our support and we'll be cheering you on in the final.
