The score actually flattered KR. Could have and should have been 60+.

I'm not sure that's guaranteed. That was a career-ruining defeat for some of those Rover players today.

Even by your standards that's a monumentally stupid comment - jeez you really don't get RL do you.

Leeds were in first gear for 80 minutes that's why they won - that should be obvious.

HKR never got out of thirds - again obvious.

You should apply for a job with Sky as they peddle that kind of drivel.

I thought leeds played well within themselves all game. Obviously planned well by mcdermott

small crumb of comfort for fc fans , rovers take over the honour of the worst team to play at wembley

Leeds never really hit top gear to be fair. They've played much better than that at times this season- for example in the semi - but never had to in that game

I was Sat next to some FC fans, they seemed grimly satisfied.

I didn't mention their own dismal display. :p

The best team in S.L playing at eighty percent, versus an average team playing at sixty percent.

Result…

Leeds showed why they’ve been the top side for numerous years, an extremely clinical display & at least the H.K.R fans had a taste of a cup final & probably fully enjoyed it - prior to kick-off at least.

so 2/3 finals have seen a team from Hull nilled and stink the place out,
next year we could have a Hull final and it would probably be a 34 all classic

Or a 0-0 draw

Average team? Being a bit generous there aren't you?

Did think we'd shut up shop a bit if we got three scores up and did a bit for remainder of the first half. When HKR kept gifting us field position though we took advantage.

That makes no sense at all. Leeds won because they were in first gear (the lowest gear)?

Rovers never got out of thirds?

I don't really think you've followed the racing analogy!

Serious question :

Should we "seed" the Challenge Cup, like Wimbledon. Maybe based on league placings the previous year, so that the better clubs avoid each other until the semis, making a more competitive final likely ? Let's face it, the last time an underdog won at Wembley, it was Sheffield Eagles. Whenever you get a Big Four club against a non-Big Four club in the final, it's usually a one-sided smashing.
