Looks like we'll be missing Samkins for this one. The camp seem a lot more relaxed about that than I am.

We need him for the big matches for sure.

Hull KR will be no pushovers, we know that so it will be interesting to see how we set up.

Heart says we might have a chance, we had real desire at Wire last week.

Head says a week too far, you're better than us, but so are Wire.

It would have been lovely to be able to go again, not been for a while, can't remember the name of the village (I really should Google it, lazy get) where the Picasso museum is in the Pyrenees Orientales where I made my art hating friend go to one time.

Seems a bit like a boxing match this one were styles make fights, our off the cuff style seems to compliment your regimental Steve Mac way of playing and vice versa, I'm just hoping we don't get embarrassed.

It ought to be a good one - as you say, styles make fights. Rovers with nothing to lose and that.

Either way, a new face in the final and that's always good to see. Whoever goes through, I hope they take the big one out the following week. While I obviously would like that to be us, to see a great old name like Hull KR up there would be fab.
In short, good luck everyone

Super well done, I know opposition fans always say go on and win it but I really mean it, you have much the better chance than us to put a new name on the trophy.

Go do it!

Cheers!
Turned out more comfortable than expected. Perhaps you were right with the 'week too far' thing. It's been a great season for Rovers though and something to build on. Go well next year.

Meanwhile.... We're off to the Big Dance! And that is absolutely typical because I cannot go.

Oh, that's gutting that you can't go, after all your years of unstinting support.

I hope that whatever it is that you're doing you can manage a sneaky telly view.

Still can't quite process this!

I don't care what happens next week, this is one of the ultimate backs to the wall sporting stories of all time.

My stag do. Need to make sure at least one person has Sky Go on their phone for us all to huddle round
