See you could take that as a troll but that was 10 years ago. The game (I'm mean the sport) was very different. This Leeds team is different, the players who still play for the club who lost that day are the champions they are because of that day and other major losses and victories.

It's 05 and other losses that make this champion team better prepaired for what is to come tomoz.

In a funny way FC have helped those Leeds players become the success they are.

I think people consistanly forget how good that Hull team was around at time. Yeah Leeds were favourites but Hull were 3rd in the table before the Semi final (after that they lost 4 of their last 6 to finish 5th), finished 3rd in 2004 and 2nd in 2006 and GF runners up.

Now, not to disrespect HKR but they've clearly been a 7th-9th placed kinda team for a few years now. Their's a significant difference in our opposition this year compared to 2005.

Also significantly the coach is different. Tony Smith has a habit of losing cup games to underdogs

2015 Semi vs HKR
2013 Semi vs HFC
2006 Semi vs Hudds
2005 Final vs HFC
2003 4th vs Hunslet (whilst coach at Hudds)

I'm going 34-18 to Leeds for the record.

Not a million miles away

I think I got this one about right
