I agree. Rob should have been sent off. He has form for attacking Hull players, Lauaki, Thackray and now Connor. It drove Connor to have to have to cheapshot Jack Walker instead. Sh*thouse!

Worse than that he, was trying to say that the try Kelly set up was not a forward pass despite the replay, which is especially embarrassing given Kelly was taking the micky to the Carnegie end after and was laughing at how forward it was.

Poor quality game all round - Leeds were the best of two poor sides on the night. Defensively both sides were shocking and Child didn't allow the game to flow. On a positive we did throw the ball around a lot more than usual and all the subs did get a game. Walker adds a dimension to the attack that is very useful and contributed to a more free flowing style. Briscoe was excellent on the night given how Sneyd had dismantled him the last time. Burrow should have gone for a blatant head butt on Connor and I thought Ellis was unlucky to get a yellow card.

A win is a win onwards to the Jungle - Leeds will need to play much better if they are to come out of that game with anything.

Very odd atmosphere without the Southstand - having the band on the Western Terrace and the cheering in the Carneige gave a real stereo impact.

Hull had every right to be shocking 5 days after wembley, with pre game and in game injuries together with a sin binning. I'm not sure leeds had too many excuses though

Blah blah blah.

Its all very well Hulkl beating a poor Wigna side in a kmnock-out competition - but i think when it comes to the crunch, they will

Pretty enjoyable game despite the quality not being the highest and we've confirmed our spot in the semi finals. It was nice to see Watkins and especially Briscoe find some form but on the other hand I thought Walker was poor defensively. McDermott will have a headache deciding between Golding and Walker for Castleford next week.

Anyone else see the interview with Brian Mac at the end? He'll surely be fined for the comments about the standard of refereeing in SL at the end. Nice rant!

They will what? Give leeds another dry humping on national TV?

Just posted something similar on the VT, but the fact this Leeds team is 1 win from the GF and 2 wins from being Champions is an absolute embarrassment to the game over here.
We've spent the whole season bumbling along with performances varying from absolutely woeful to average at best, yet we're in with a real shout of being Champions (I actually think we'll win it and have done for a while).
This version of the Leeds team would get slaughtered by every other Championship winning Leeds team of the Super League era - the overall standard of the league is shocking and something needs to change real quick before the damage is irreversable.

A large number of Hull fans were giving James Child horrific verbal abuse, a lot of it homophobic based. Yes he had a poor game, but that's no excuse for the language used. A reasonable Hull fan stood next to us seemed embarrassed of his fellow fans and said "they are always like this". This is unacceptable and needs to be clamped down on by clubs and the RFL.

you seem very confident ,you've a bit to do yet before you get the chance to prove how good you are and I'm not talking about beating Leeds

The score last night was not too dissimilar from the Semi. Granted you guys won the cup of the back of it, but just remember we're now on course for a trip to Old Trafford, where as the recent cup winners are now in serious danger of not finishing in the top 4. Plus,apart from the Semi aside, your recent record against us hasn't exactly been good now has it?

A fairly entertaining if sometimes niggly and spiteful game. We were on a hiding to nothing with scheduling so I'm very pleased we were still in there fighting right to the end. If not for a dubious yellow card and a couple of in game injuries we might have nicked it, but thems the breaks. Leeds just about the better side on the night. You got the two points you needed, we showed I think that we aren't going to roll over like we did this time last year, so both sides can be reasonably happy, but we will both need to be a lot better going into the semis. I'm sure we will be, although we have got to knuckle down and make sure we get in them first. Could really do with a favour from Salford tonight.

Thought McDermott was spot on to highlight the issue surrounding the play the ball with his praise of Child for penalising Leeds' Jones-Buchanan after moving off the mark and placing the ball on the head of an opponent in a blatant attempt to 'win' a penalty. That was the incident he had in mind, right?

Therein lies the problem - there is too much of it going on and no team, no coach is exempt from their responsibility to clean it up. Referees have a role also but coaches and players could and should make their lives easier not harder.

In the press conference afterwards he readily admits Leeds are guilty of it too, which only highlights the problem if the coach can't stand it but admits even his team do it also. If you don't do these things in today's game can you compete? If Leeds stop any of that type of stuff will they benefit or just be left with the moral high ground but defeat as other teams continue to do it?
