We had Bentham at this stage last year. He had a fairly good game, save for an obvious Cunningham forward pass to Graham which set up a grandstand finish.

I see Silverwood got the bigger of the two semi-finals. Should he come through it unscathed, I'd expect him to be awarded the final.

My thoughts exactly.

Nah Stevie G for the final.

He's been kept off the big games since his injuries and 'break' last year. I think he's an equal second, or maybe slightly lagging behind Bentham, on the pecking order.

Depends, if Saints get there I'm sure he'll get the gig.
RFL still want to prove that our refs are the best in the world and totally unbiased.

Ah it's on TV is it, I'll tape it and watch it when I get in.

baffled why they decided to play the game at a 15k cap stadium.

Because there is so little interest in the CC any more. The RFL must find a way of promoting the competition more or else it will slowly become a dead donkey.

Saying that, the final will probably be a sell out or close to it. I just think its the fact that fans already shed out a lot of money on season tickets and can't always afford these games when come around. The playoff attendances arnt massive either because of the same reason. People

People are stupid. Why fork out all your hard earned for 13 qualifiers, then miss out on the few games that actually count?

Did anyone else get the text message today confirming that there are still tickets available from the Leeds Ticket Office? Maybe we haven't even sold out the Keepmoat???

I did yes
