Quote ="vastman"Well clearly you’ve never actually watched it or you don’t understand sport. The conditions were some of the worst I’ve ever seen but the game was compelling. I’ve seen far worse CCup finals than that, the most recent being Leeds destruction of HKR. That game was a game only a diehard Leeds fan could enjoy.'"
Whilst the result was a battering I still enjoyed the cup run .Couple of really good wins then the day out to Wembley.Such a long time since last major final and 12 years in lower league and financial problems and a couple of moments along the way where looked like wouldn't have a club to support? Major Injurie problems and facing a very good Leeds side saying goodbye to some great players it was unlikely we would win but you always travel with hope and we certainly earnt the right to be there. 50 0 i can't defend as a result but as a fan I never thought I would see my team play at Wembley and it was a good day out. Kelly played on one leg and poor old Kieron Dixon had a nightmare game but tried his nuts off.A few senior players never showed on the day and Leeds had a stroll of a game. Agree it was a poor spectacle and like to see a tight final but all in all I think as a team the magnitude of a Wembley final was too much and the team froze badly whilst Leeds just saw it as another big final in a string of big finals. Then relegation followed and promotion back. Quite a lot KR fans have endured in 'recent times tbf
