Fair to leave Tai in and not bring Wrench straight back in.

Tai was an unsung hero I thought last game. Hoping we beat these today and head for the pie showdown.

Hoping wire can do what my Bolton side didn’t last night.

Now the wire.

Two great tries but we’ve been so sloppy

Philbin just cost us, absolutely no need to hold on that long.

Ground looks half empty, embarrassing for the game

Connor the little scrote, too focused on trying to get a reaction out of Currie by slapping at the ball as he tried to play it then the very next play gets done like a kipper by Walker for a try haha.

If you could not see the score we look like rabbits caught in the headlights.

Half time verdict - great score, great long distance tries, nowhere near as good a performance as against KR. I’ll take it though

Agree we look nervous, was hoping we would settle once we had got to 18. The Williams try was needed.

Great charge Down by Harrison except it was Currie but she kept saying Harrison and then Drinkwater scores the try except it was Dufty #sighs.

If it was me I’d leave Vaughan and Harrison off now.

Wire fans at their usual bottle throwing antics.
Shameful for those watching on tv.

Got really destructive there in the end. Ruthlessness - which is always something we have lacked for as long as I can remember. 5 minutes to go, game long over and we're throwing the ball around hunting for as many tries as we could fit in. What a game in waiting at Wembley.

Didnt notice that on tv

How come none of the commentators mention how woeful Jake Connor is, especially in defence. A good defensive fullback would have stopped 2 or three of our tries. Some of his attempts at tackles were embarrassing. Yet they go on like he is some kind of god. It was only a month ago that commentators (jiffy) were slating Dufty for not taking a high ball. Dufty is 10 times the player Connor is.
Anyway, great performance. I had my doubts before the match that we may slip up. Definitely a lot of ruthlessness in this team which is great to see.

Really, really happy with that and how the season is going. Don't think we could in our wildest dreams wish for much more; exciting winning rugby with players putting the graft in and playing for each other.

A big mention to Gleeson for our attacking structure which is so good with so many moves and options.

Going to be tough against Wigan who'll be favourites, but we've got more than a descent chance imo.

And we play them the week before

Re Bolton ...
I feel your pain, the 104 minutes of football ruined a perfectly good day out yesterday. Absolutely pathetic, spineless performance from start to finish.

Not wholly their fault (although quite close) but the manager and captain need to be gone long before the next season starts. Their style of walking football is mind-numbingly painful to watch!

Wanderer!

Fully agree my friend, San toss and Evatt should be gone - total bottle jobs!

So.. We should send the kids to France (for the third cats fixture this year) and same against Wigan, no need to show our hand of risk any bans or suspensions.

Vaughan, Duffty and Williams should be wrapped up in cotton wool until the final!

There’s a lot to like about this team. Not the most exhilarating with the ball, but everyone knows their jobs and everyone gets theirs done. Ben Currie with a shift and a half in that heat, Philbin worked hard and fought for everything. Danny Walker is absolutely superb and Toby King and Matty Ashton are turning into a real handful of a combo.

I've just got home (lost a few hours)

Would I be right in saying Huddersfield were REALLY bad today?

Interesting fixture that one the week before the final. You won’t rest many/any in France but our game could see two vastly different teams facing off. I’m not sure Burgess seems the sort to rest too many mind and we didn’t rest many the week before the 2022 final, so we’ll have to wait and see. The fact it’s against each other could force both coaches to hold a bit back.
