Easy Win.

The French look like Rugby Union players - i.e. awfull tackling technique and very lazy in defence - they got penalised for about 10 high tackles, yet not one of them want to the bin.

Ah, now no-one wants an uneven game, makes for a bad spectacle ;-).

Can't see anywhere when the Semis draw takes place, must be soon - I'd expected today?

 

[terracesider]

I'd expect today also, but the draw is tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, Bartman, on BBC breakfast TV.

 

[bartman]

Cheers, might drag myself in front of the TV early then....

I saw the HKR game on FOX. Great win for them. Crowd went mad.

So HKR is into the final, they won 27-26 over Saints?

Day of Destiny for Fartown

 

[bartman]

So, tips anyone?

Hull KR v St Helens at Galpharm
Huddersfield v Leeds at Grattan/Odsal

Teams and margins if you please:

- - - -

St Helens by 22
Leeds by 8

St Helens by 36
Fartown by 8

 

[bartman]

James Graham in the starting side at loose forward - that's a great looking St Helens pack.

 

[bartman]

24-0 at half time. It was too much to hope for an upset win to the underdogs...

 

[bartman]

St Helens 50 Hull KR 0. Can't fault St Helens, KR back to the drawing board to focus on their quest for promotion.

The attendance continued this year's disappointingly low numbers: 12,868, according to Sporting Life.
