I have supported Rovers all my life and was lost for words today. It may be easy to blame Dixon he was not on his own totally lost the plot. Having Briscoe score 5 and the record defeat at Wembley just about put the knife in.

Not just a record wembley defeat, the record for the final of the comp since it started. Highest score against and widest winning margin - hull kr record breakers
I'm sure you and all KR fans are gutted, but don't be embarrassed. You turned out in massive numbers, you gave great banter and most of you stayed until the bitter end. Your team underperformed but we were on fire. I don't think any team would have lived with Leeds today. I thought Kelly was superb and your team didn't stop trying to go forward. I also felt sorry for Dixon, his day came apart on the biggest of stages, but to his credit he kept trying to find away forward right to the end. Obviously he needs to work on retaining the ball in contact but you have to give credit to his never say die attitude. Well done on reaching the final and good luck in the qualifiers. Heads up you all did your team proud today.
First of all congratulations to Leeds, fantastic team, head and shoulders above anyone in this league and fully deserve to win the treble. We were no where near good enough, even if we'd played better we'd have lost, Leeds in that mood are a force. Finally, congratulations to Hull fc, best result they've had this year and finally a Wembley win for there record books!!! Seriously tho, they have finally confirmed their small club status, mocking a club playing in a major final, getting repetitive strain injury of the wrist over a game involving a club that apparently never registered on their radar.. oh how the average have fallen. Maybe Adam could use this great result to sell some passes, just think if you'd managed to get to this final you could have afforded to pay Mr Allam to let you use a couple of stands...

As a point of pedantry, London conceded 52 in 1999. Widest margin and only the third nilling of the modern era is plenty to be going on with, frankly.

I can't bring myself to look at their board, but with a couple of exceptions they haven't been too bad over here. Given the scale of the stuffing. Shall we maybe leave it a couple of days before prodding the bear?
Stuff it anyway. I'm off to bed, I hope tomorrow is sunny. And by Monday I'll be thinking about the Wakefield game.

Its almost like reading the comments when we were nilled at Wembley. What goes round, comes round.
