Or without Burrow, McGuire, JJB etc.. i get why you bring it up, Sinfield is huge for us in those games, but until we start getting to finals again (hopefully this year) and seeing how we handle them now, it is a moot point.

Yeah spot on. Unless we're bringing back Schofield and co from the 80/90's then doesn't really matter going back that far, it's about what current squads have done.

Not all, he was instrumental in us winning finals. Without we would not have won one. But the more apt point is, there is nothing to say we know how to win finals without Sinfield, far from it, as our record proves.

The person that opened this thread dont ask them for a tip they've not got a clue!

So Leeds v Wigan final it is. Many years of hard draws for Leeds, this year we really have had luck with those balls.

Some of us didn't do too bad though at tipping the results or how the draw would go





Almost got drawn in that very order too, tipped Hudds on Friday and got all 6 league games correct last week....should've put the lottery on last night.

Neither of those Semis are straight forward. Hull just did a job on the form team of the season and whilst Wigan will be favourites they'll have to improved on what they showed yesterday.

I'm sure the RFL are looking forward to a repeat of the Wiggin v 'Ull Final.

Hull really struggle against Leeds. I wasn't fussed who we got. The only reason I hope Salford dont get to final is bums on seats. It doesn't look great there anyway.

Leeds was the one team I was hoping we wouldn't get. Not just in the draw today but in all of the previous draws too.

Playing at Donny according to Peter Smith. Needs confirming though obviously

At least the seats are red so it might seem like they are Salford fans.

Shout out to you boys above. Called it, I nailed Leeds Fev though! Great game today Hull Cas. Ill take Hull in the Semi, wouldve preferred Salford but reckon itll be Leeds Wigan final. Lets see if we can do em at Wembley now then!

I bet Salford have more fans there than you took against Hull in last year's semi.
About 3000 tops.

I know nothing

Wouldn't be fussed if Salford made the final. They're having a good season and a final appearance might persuade a few more to go in future and give them the kind of viewing more in keeping with what they deserve. The club seems to be making some decent steps forward these days. And doing so quietly for a change

A lot can happen in 6 weeks. Wouldn't like to predict at this stage.

Well yeh it's a challenge cup final at Wembley on a Saturday afternoon not a Friday night in Doncaster. Such a great comparison.

True and Wigan are the X factor in terms of how much can they improve and get into form before then. All 4 teams sets of fans have a right to be confident of their sides chances to progress.

Hope it's not Donny. Absolutely dreadful amenities around the ground and a pig for train users to get to. It's Yorkshire's version of Salford.

A Bit Harsh, whilst there are only two pubs with in sensible walking of the ground, there are plenty of decent pubs in the town and regular buses between the town and the stadium.

According to League Express, Hull v Leeds @ Doncaster on Saturday & Salford v Wigan @ Warrington on Sunday.

Strange choice of ground if true imo.

What does Donny hold, 14kish? You would think after almost a 2 year break from big games we would be capable of taking close to at least 10k for this semi, especially if it was at Huddersfield and Hull always take a big following for the big games too. With a good 6 weeks to the semis and on a saturday afternoon you would surely be looking at a 16-20k gate at Huddersfield.

Doesnt work out like tho these days as people wont pay. Id rather play at a full Donny than Hudds with a stand completely shut down side.

At least it doesn't look like they're doing a Friday night semi final as has been the case the last two years (Leeds/Saints @ HJ '15 and Wigan/Hull @ Donny '16)
