So is anyone actually bothered about discussing the CC semi-finals or is this just a thread to inflate the ego of Nottingham's finest "Legal Eagle"? In case anyone had forgotten the two ties are......
Hull v Leeds
Salford v Wigan
Thoughts?

I'm just shocked that the ties are being played in sensible locations on sensible dates.

Could be because nobody really cares that much about the CC until the final?
The semis are interesting. Hull and Leeds are seemingly on a par excluding vs Cas (Hull have a big edge there), and each other where Leeds have had the edge recently.
Salford and Wigan I guess comes down partly to who is back for Wigan, and just as importantly how good Salford actually are.

So Salford are above both Leeds and Hull in the table yet still being questioned about how good they are?  I'm no way implying we're going to win the league or the CC but I still think it's disrespectful to put down the achievements of the current Salford team. You can add the general belittling of Wakey's progress to that gripe as well.
And Leeds only beat Salford earlier in the season courtesy of a terrible refereeing decision btw. Assume you didn't see that over in Brisbane...... |

I think you've taken that post the wrong way, I thought it read as how well will salford play on the day, we already know they are capable of playing great rugby and have tonked Hull at home but were on the receiving end at their place so though above Wigan they like other teams have being fairly variable at times.
Wigan if they have a full strength side are clearly going to be a tough team to beat, i don't know what there long term injuries are but the semis are another 6 weeks away.

More a case of the games are still several weeks away and plenty of important league games inbetween now and then. What shape each team will be in fitness and form wise could change a lot from now. |

I said at half time that whoever scored th next try would win. Hardaker came up with s big play and Cas were able to take the momentum of that and score again.
