Just wait till you get to my age, reaching a semi is about as good as it gets.

Especially when you factor in the ratio when there actually someone else in the room!

I've always thought he had the talent but lacked application, having read about his off field problems I can see why. Now that he's maturing & resolving his issues he's finally looking like he'll become the superb player he looked like being when he started out. Full of admiration for the guy.

the 2 coaches press conferences are well worth a view and a credit to the game. Football managers could learn plenty from how radford conducted himself.

Agree with that, assuming ward and Delaney are out and with ablett struggling to be mobile and ferres coming back to fitness , we look a bit light.
Given that I wonder if he will start ferres for ward and move moon to 4, mags and burrow in halves and use sutcliffe as a back row option. Jimmy k could come in but I'm not a big fan of him in 2nd row. Whatever ward is abig loss.

They're not gunna change mags and moon partnership now after they've played together all year. Nor should they

I totally agree, a credit to both men & the game itself.
Plus the obvious massive respect towards Ellis & between him, Danny & Rob.

This applies also to Walker but he does seem a better attacking force in the opposition half but it was a surprise that he didn't outpace Ellis in the second half.

Ideally, I'd keep it together as well but we are short of forwards to play long minutes. Only a thought

Just wondered if anyone else thought Mac's 'interview' was possibly an indication he might be off? I didn't fully get why he was so silent and choked but then just thought with the context could it be that he will be off after next week too?

Yes I was surprised he didn't outpace Ellis too. He looked a bit lightweight in defence which is why I prefer Golding at FB. But Walker is a talent and I still see him as a 6. We are lucky to have two such good young prospects

Can you really not get why he would be silent and choked after just winning a play off semi final after all the stuff that's been said about him and his team the last 18months?

I can, yes, but considering how he has been previously about getting to finals I expected something more like the previous tone of 'getting to the final is nothing too much' to celebrate. It just felt a bit 'I have come full circle now' and that is why he was choked.

Well done for last night, pretty even game, first 20 mins cost us IMO, took too much out of us, we may some silly errors, but you played really well in that spell.

Enjoy next week, hope its as good a game as the semi's

not had chance to come on since up at 5.30m for work

congratulations on your win, obviously disappointing for us, but first 20 minutes killed us
