No, but we did make a CC final and GF around that time. Not saying there's a direct correlation before anyone starts, but it would seem playing a bit more 'grubby' got results, as it seems to do for recent GF and CC Final winners (Stains and Wigan).

Let’s hope this game is better than the two QF’s played today.

Got to say I really dislike the CC semi draw being at half time of our match. I can easily it affecting our attitude (more so than Wigans imo) as I think we are mentally frail and too many of our squad will be thinking of the semi before doing the graft against Wigan. We could easily get pummelled.

Just my 'feel' - but based on watching us over the last 'n' years.

I'm not a fan of the draw being at half time either, but I'm looking forward to this game today. People talking about us being fragile, when Wigan have been comfortably beaten in their last two games, can hide behind the settee all afternoon if they want. I'm off to the match.

Have you not noticed our habit of having a forward stand in front of the play the ball on the last tackle to “protect” the kicker?

Does anyone know if you can pay on gate today?

Whilst not a cash turnstile you can normally buy a ticket from the ticket office prematch.

Don’t know how you'd check other than t'internet or ringing you know where but can't see it being different today
