We did it plus winning 3 consecutive league games against Leeds for the first time in almost 30 years. Agar could not replicate other ex Hull FC coaches who have beaten us in league games at Headingley. Can you name them?

Your not getting Tony & Brian Smith mixed are you Fred.

Is one of them Derek Rocky Turner ex KR

Great posts Chris, uppo and rider. I couldn’t make it so that was some good insight into the match.
I’m pumped for the CC semi now just hope we saved some energy! Cheers

I’m hoping to listen to it back Rodders, even our fans were as fractious as the game, as old faithful kept breaking out from different areas, but not as one, it was extremely nervey at the last, when Ash Handley intercepted, it was like the whole oxygen of our supporters was sucked out as one, until a break from Mini then Griff then Jamie. if memory serves me right Ratu , unbelievably levelled it, I thought he was in touch, ref said try, and cool hand smacked over his fabulous conversion.

And the Sneydddd chant echoed round in unison, as a sort of retort to an earlier Sneyddd chant from the Rhinos fans for different reasons

But it still wasn’t over as Leeds came again and again, till a final kick maybe from Tom Brisco went to far and complete exhaustion followed.

Regarding Wire on Saturday, I don’t think energy is a problem, but in our previous two cup semis, and finals, we were as a side playing better footie, we was probably a better side then.

Have we got what it takes, have we got three/four big games in us, I’m talking Mini & Sika, were about to find out.

We were controlling the game up until the intercept that Handley took then we lost a little bit of composure but after the go ahead score by Briscoe we settled back down and hit back to go back in front. It was always going to be a tough game with Leeds being desperate for a win at home and us being inconsistent and not winning there for such a long time.

We should have put more points on the board in the 1st half in particular when we had a 3 on 2 overlap on Leeds left edge by Shaul didn't move the ball to the edge and ended up being shut down. Still don't think we got out of 2nd or 3rd gear to be honest and we do lose something without Kelly in the halves.

Sneyd was pretty much on point with his kicking apart from the one where he got the angle all wrong and instead of finding touch ended up just going straight down the field and out over the touch n goal much to the delight of the Rhinos fans however his touch line conversion to win the game made up foe that little error.

For me as I had posted previously, we should pick our best available team and go for broke against Leeds, we did this and deserved the crucial two points,

Also getting that twelve year monkey of our back was great, it’s amazing really twelve years.

Very interesting team selection facing Radders Saturday , I’ve said we should bring Greeny in for Fashy. But with AK certain to play, and Jake back in the centre, it’s a nice dilemma I suppose.
