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.

Before anybody gets carried away having a moan about the score line. Arsenal beat Villa 4-0 in the FA cup this year, Swansea battered Bradford 5-0 in a league cup the other year. Germany hammered Brazil 7-1 in the WC. Australia got bowled out for just 60 in an Ashes test.

apart from today, when was the last one sided smashing? even in 2013 hull fc trailed 10-0 until the final minute! as poor as a performance it was it was far from a smashing

seeding will just see the same teams over and over again and the competition will become even more less attractive to fans in the early rounds than it already is

definately not!
rovers deserved to be their on merit, sometimes it just happens that one team is so much better than the other, on another day, as we've seen in the past teams can sometimes raise their games in a final and produce.

No. Hull KR beat Catalan, Wigan and Wire. They completely deserved to be in the final.

Tom Briscoes shirt number at Hull FC was.........5...it gets better

LMFAO!

London scored in their defeat. Sadly HKR never looked like scoring.

At least they were trying, which is something other teams don't do.

Leeds were ruthless and deserved their win.

All the game needs now is an SL with the same level as Leeds. Somehow I think it's a long way off

Only got back from holiday in time for the second half, so did not see the "softening up" period but it was a very poor mismatch. For all the commentators trying to say Leeds were brilliant there is no getting away from the fact that KR put in the worst CC Final performance I have ever seen. Awful match played in front of a lot of empty seats.

I enjoyed the game I thought it had some very good tries scored.
