Yes my mistake.

Why mention Welham when discussing pace?

He had a good game (opening kick off apart) yesterday but pace is not in his locker.

It was nice seeing the Warrington speedster Joel m getting run down and caught by prop Adam walker

Brilliant display HKR. Well done and hope you do it in the final.

For all the emotion on display from people on Saturday who were clearly overwhelmed that they were finally going to see Rovers return to a major final, for the 2 whole generations of Rovers fans who weren't around until the early 90s, this is something I don't think many of us ever really saw coming.
I'm 27 now and the first season I remember watching Rovers was 1993. What felt particularly special for me was seeing all the faces that I've been seeing for the last 20 years finally able to understand all those feelings that we have been told about by parents and friends who were around in the 80s watching Rovers in cup finals.
For all the NL1 grand final meant to Rovers as a club and to the fans, nothing I've ever experienced as a Rovers fan comes close to how I felt at full time on Saturday. Still don't think it has properly sunk in that in less than 4 weeks I'll finally get to see Rovers walk out at Wembley in a major final, I get goosebumps thinking about it.

Think you've summed it up pretty well, my generation got into rugby league when we were a top side, my first season (when was 10) was 1979, so my first non final loss didn't come until '82 so I grew up thinking that was what it would always be like. Don't think anyone of us who went in '86 thought that we wouldn't be in a CC final for another 29 years!!

I remember back in around the early 2000 thinking that we would never get there again and had all but given up on the idea.

Stood in that stand on Saturday just after Shaun Lunt had gone over was probably the best feeling I've had at a game for a long long time. The GF was great but I was pretty anaesthetised by that point. This one was a stand back and soak up the moment, god knows what I'll be like if we win the thing!!!!

Well done kr best team won on the day from a wire fan hope you enjoy your day no matter the result but I hope you beat leeds. I will be a kr fan for the day

You don't need pace, when you have palms of steel. Pow!

WELL said that says it all I am one of the old supporters who has seen all the good times and the bad times when at times it was to watch rovers, but went because i was and still are a fan I thought I would die before they was in another final again now it is not depressing its

The contrast on this forum in a week's time will be great if we get turned over at Leigh!

Great performance on saturday and a deserved win imo,Lots of excellent performances and josh deservedly won the MOM,but a special mention for kevin larroyer,48 tackles and a try,17 more than graeme horne who was 2nd in the tackle count,followed by tyrone on 29 and james donaldson with 28,who had a terrific game,vital tackles and tons of effort and wasn't on the pitch as long as most.Adam walker is also an unsung hero who works hard on defence and attack and made a crucial tackle on monaghan when he threatened to go clear.
A great team effort and a well deserved final appearance bearing in mind what a tough route we have had,and awesome support as usual from our fans.Get in.

Fantastic performance! Can't believe we're in the Challenge Cup final after all these years. Starting attending regularly in the late 80s, doom and gloom until 2006, but now... wow!

Massive congratulations to the board for all they've done - new pitch, new stand, quality players etc. They've done so much for the club over the years.

Excellent Rovers. Me and my mate were jumping around the pub in Wigan when the Lunt try was given. So pleased for you. Enjoy your day out. I think every neutral in the country will be cheering you on. Hull KR gained a lot of fans on Saturday. Must admit i was fearing the worst in the first 2 minutes but fair play to your boys, they stuck it out and showed awesome determination. Here's hoping you can do it one more time.
