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.

wonder how many tickets will be sold on ebay from the warrington area?
Probably none, since we've got a pre order system, that only kicks in if we win.

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.......

The biggest Friday night audience for any other channel was 1 million for Location, Location, Location on Channel 4.
.....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.

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
You come at the king - You better not miss.
It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?
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.
