Hoping for a (real) home game in tomorrows draw, as it seems ages since we last played in the stadium.

@pensioner semis are supposed to be weekend of 13th/14th June, but - we’re supposed to be playing Donny at home that weekend… I hope we don’t have to move league fixture (esp if we’re drawn away in cup)???

We seemed totally ineffective on attack in the first half but what a comeback in the second half. What was the difference? Was it attitude, was it because we moved the ball better or was it because we rejigged our set up with Owens to full back or was it because they tired? Probably a bit of all that combined? A very good performance without Lawton, Chapelhow & Mc Whirter. Wilde rolled back the years with a terriffic running performance. Houghton & Billington especially showed they deserve places in the 17 every week.

Amazing how different we can be in each half....very blunt first half ,wasted ball few time we had an opportunity....2nd half they were sensational,played at a far quicker pace and just ripped them apart

Even in the first half we dominated territorially. The pack was outstanding, despite having only two forwards on the bench. That said, having Joe Edge is like having a seventh forward on the field. Wonder what Coleman will say to explain the contrasting halves.

That was an outstanding fight back. Well done to AC and the players.

Second half we utilised our big players putting their young lads on the back foot

edge was none existent in the first half, but in the second he was everywhere

last try from Jack was superb

RL matches are 80 minutes long, in which time you try to out-score your opponent. We achieved that today.

 

Nothing more to say, really. Well done to all that travelled to Robin Park, it had a Sheffield/Hunslet feel about it.

Great comeback to go through to the semi finals 

I thought we played decent in the first half but couldn’t find our way over the line 

Billington and Houghton much better interchange than previous seasons
