Well our first foray in the playoffs had the result most people had predicted, leeds are a very very good side and all credit to them, they showed us what we have to do to continue our progress. Tonight a place in the finals seems as far away as a place in superleague did 4 years ago. Although i came away feeling.......well not sure what my feelings where,but i did come away knowing we had been in a game against the current best side in s/l and no one can critisize us for the effort put in by our team. The result aside, the pleasure at being involved in such a prestigious competition, against a side of the calibre of leeds makes supporting this great sport of ours all the more worth while. We, as they say, "have another bite of the cherry next week" which in its self leaves me in no doubt as to how far we have come, but the result tonight shows me we still have a have a lot learn,but we are getting there.
I've had a quick glance at some other threads tonight and i know this probably is'nt the thread to say it, but it's great to see the fans of all clubs pulling together over chev (well almost all fans, you always get one) and i would like to especially congratulate all the leeds fans for their applause of chev.......i'm very proud to be a hull kr fan tonight, but more so a Rugby League fan

I felt like I'd been dry bummed by John Merrick.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Think HKR have made tremendous progress in such little time. One for the statisticians out there...from clubs promoted to Super League how many times have they reached the play offs and how many seasons did it take. For the record i know Wakey have reached them for the first time this season and didn't Widnes make them after a season or two.

Catalans finished 3rd in their 3rd season in SL, (having also been in the Challenge Cup final in their second season. )
Don't know what you mean about Wakefield - certainly not their first time in the play-offs.

Remember it only too well. Think you had a couple sin-binned as well. Good luck in the play-offs BTW. Always had a soft spot for Wakefield.
