Any Chemics heading to Hull tomorrow?

Along with another four Lions, I'll be there, and........

I've had a daft bet at 20/1 on a draw at 80 minutes, but..........

I'm not holding my breath about collecting my winnings.

The Broncos by a dozen is my prediction.

Spelly.

Congrats to HKR, the better side.

Got to say though, not sure about the first two tries. The first one was an obvious knock-on, the second Minichello never grounded it in a million years. That was 12-0 and set the tone.

Brisbane were miles better in the 2nd half. Whether things would have been different? Who knows?

Congrats to HKR though, they're an awesome side.

I watched the build-up to make sure we got a mention; we did. In fact, Wilkin said 'what a Widnes team that was' which turned out to be more praise than anyone else got.

Just back from Hull, and not for the first time, my prediction was miles out!

Brill from start to finish, coz the build-up was great, the lady singer was awesome with the anthems, and the Broncos nearly pulled off a remarkable comeback, in front of a raucous sell-out crowd!

Rugby League was the winner!

Scenic route coming home though, as junctions 25-23 on the M62 were closed!

Good game, and KR hit them cold at the start.

Although what was Mikey Lewis thinking with a little chip over to Walsh with a broken line & only about 15 seconds left at the end? Thought they were going to go the length of the field when he picked it up & he missed the tackle.
