Great game.
The first 20-25 minutes were as quick as anything seen in club rugby and Saints did very, very well just to hang in there.
Although Saints are said to have the best pack in SL, Leeds is pretty close but, the Leeds three quarter's is phenomenal, plus an outstanding FB
Great game and well covered by the Beeb.

Agreed, time for those two to go . |

1.3 million viewers according to the RFL, 69% up on last year. So it looks like Friday night semi finals are here to stay!

Well that was an upset of sorts.
Great to see another club get to experience Wembley. Well done HKR.

Well done Hull K.R. really pleased for their fans a thoroughly deserved visit to Wembley.
Respect to Tony Smith, what a top bloke - although he should stop Briers coaching on the pitch.

well done Hull kr, thoroughly deserved it, wire looked clueless at times reminded me of when we beat saints in 2009, although we had to wait a hell of a lot longer than they did.
2 good close-ish games,and good atmospheres that's how semi finals should be not the walkovers in front of a few thousands mildly interested spectators like we had a couple of years ago!
wonder how many tickets will be sold on ebay from the warrington area?

Couldn't help but think, surely Leeds will hammer either of these, but a deserved win for HKR. Kelly sure has his weaknesses in defence (remember how Wigan targetted him when they thrashed HKR), but there's nothing wrong with his excellent kicking game. Sio's try was a peach.

Probably none, since we've got a pre order system, that only kicks in if we win.
Now who looks foolish, HA! |

| Quote: Andy Gilder "hopefully the end of the ludicrous Friday night experiment for one what should be one of the showpiece games of the season.'"
1.3 million watched a great game on TV, 69% more than watched the Leeds semi final in 2014.
If your figures below are same again or similar.......
Quote: Andy Gilder "Almost 7 million people watched Eastenders on BBC1 last Friday at 8pm. 6 million watched Corrie at 8
.....would make it the 3rd most watched program in the country on Friday night behind the 2 soaps.
What a flipping disaster!
I blame the RFL etc.

| Quote: meast "i do feel for leeds fans in a way, as with a semi final you want to enjoy the day, it's the occasion rather than just a match, and friday night takes that occasion away for me, i can understand the frustration.
however i don't really feel for leeds in terms of venue, as to my knowledge, they have usually had the benefit of not having far to travel, last year was the first time in 9 years that they had to travel outside of yorkshire for a semi final, Huddersfield on the other hand have only had 1 semi final in yorkshire in the same period, ironically the 2006 semi at odsal, where leeds fans were so cocksure of brushing away the challenge of these upstarts,their fans gave the semi final a miss and splashed out on final tickets instead ![]()
Matbe hudds would get more semis in Yorkshire if they got into as many semis as Leeds

I enjoyed the Friday night semi final, the only negative were the road works on the m62 on the way back
The more games on terrestrial TV the better. It would be good if they could get some league games on similar to the first deal the BBC signed for the football league a few years back. Where they got 10 live games.

Absolutely: say it long and say it loud. Probably did a lot more for the profile of the sport than Wigan choosing to play an odd game in Millwall. |
