Gee, what a total shocker that is

Hull KR should have enough to stay up regardless of Wembley so good result for us. Don't need Leigh getting any 2 bonus points

Chris Chester reckons Kelly unlikely to play in final due to ligaments. I'll bet my house he'll play in final. But whether he'll be fit enough after that is a different matter. Without Kelly and Campese, plus KR could be safe by the time we play them, could be a good opportunity to get 2 points.

If you look at our match v Rovers in the cup and the roles of Campese and Kelly it looked like the effectiveness of Mantellato was reduced drastically without them today. Lets hope Kelly is missing when we play them and they have already done enough. As for going to Leigh maybe we should leave our halfbacks out again on the basis of todays match.

Let's hope so

Would it be more appropriate if Leigh changed the H on Hocks shirt to C

Just a thought

You've got the upper hand for the championship teams now by winning your first round. The test is performing on the stage next week vs Wakefield, which I think you will do.

Skybet think the weekend's games have made it look more likely Wakey will stay in SL whereas PP think it is less likely and have pushed them out and pushed us in. Massive variation in prices. PP think it's a 3 horse race for 4th spot.

Had a look at Bulls/Wakey odds for Saturday and most had Wakey at around 2/5 on. Wakefiled will start as favourites as they are at home (although i still believe we have the better squad) but cannot believe they are so short odds. They will be a try maximum in it on Saturday.

It will be interesting to see if Wakefield are still odds on for 'promotion' with SkyBet if we beat them this Saturday.

I'd say that's a blow to Leigh's rivals. That's at least two penalties a game less Leigh will conceded.

What about try he scored against us and the offload for their 1st try on Saturday? He's still a seriously good player who makes things happen and a massive loss for any side in the middle 8s.

The offload is irrelevant as his brain explosions very clearly and indisputably cost Leigh that game.

It's not very clear or indisputable at all. Two penalties didn't decide a game played by 34 men for 80 minutes. That's just silly.

I think Hock has tonnes of ability and is very dangerous with his offloads, but he can be an absolute liability at times.

Leigh's collapse last Saturday wasn't solely his fault to be fair.
