The lineup for Wakefield will be interesting. Pryce, Ellis and Mini need a break. Westermans handling was awful but he was the only player to run a line and looked like breaking the Leeds defence which he deserves credit for.

hes not made 1 clean break all season

Still digging up that little gem, still taken out of context, after all these years.

That's my point. A final is a great occasion for any club regardless of result because of the build-up if nothing else. But Bobbin' Along has a different view of reaching a final and not winning it:

As I've said already, Rovers IMO have their name on the trophy this year. But you do lose in the final we know from this where you stand.

For me, the problem is (and always was going to be from the moment he was appointed) Radford has no idea how to manage his men.

They have the skill and the know-how. We know that because they have demonstrated that at times this season. We are falling down because of attitude, disgruntlement and personal dissatisfaction, imo. That is purely down to Radford's handling of them on a personal level.

Stop talking sense, it just won't work on here.

Nice sunset. Picture of it is now my desktop background

I'd forgotten about that, the only spectacular moment of the entire evening.

Highlight of the night for me, which sort of says everything.

The biggest worry for me was that leeds had they 2 most dangerous players out, (McGuire and cuthbertson) and still didn't need to get out of 3rd gear

Mrs Barrista, Jake the Peg and Frepenyboy your boys took one hell of a beating last night.
Just as well we had our second string half backs playing and our best forward out injured otherwise it could have been much worse for your boys.
Seriously I thought had Westerman and Pryce been playing for Leeds last night you would have won the game.
Fortunately Westerman was poor and as usual Pryce goes missing in a big game.
Child made a few errors that favoured us but also got a couple wrong that would have helped us too.
The ten was not policed well for both sides.
Thought we played the conditions better than you.
I am still impressed with Watts and I wish Ellis would come to us.
Abdull looks good and maybe we missed out on him when he was a youngster.
If you play like you did before coming up against Leeds you should make the 8 especially if HKR get to the CCF.

Runners up are losers like the rest.
