Sandercock suffers from a whiney nasal voice.

If I was a coach, I'd mention injuries and times where you felt the fifty fifty decisions went against my team.

I'd dress it up as mitigating circumstances.

He could, of course, come out and say something along the lines of; "We were absolute gash today, the players are too stupid to follow the most basic of game plans and despite them having played this sport since the age of seven they still can't do the basics like make an effective tackle or pass the ball from left to right."

Wouldn't do a whole lot for individual confidence or harmony within the group though.

Oh, and "Hello" little fcimp, nice to see you, have a lovely time on Saturday.

That was in '08. He messed things up for a further 3 yrs!

I will! Here's a little tip - getting to finals helps balance the books.

Edited for accuracy

Don't worry.

They will all disappear on Sunday.
Let them have their week

You hope, imagine if we won it.

Ha! Cheeky little scamp!



There's a little part of me that hopes you do. If you play well I might actually genuinely want you to win.

I ended up wanting you to win in '85, loved Leuluai that day. Similarly '83 was hilarious.

Your too nice to be a rovers fan!

I wouldn't mind if they won a replay, its just the wembley thing. My mate's a B&W and I know how much the monkey on their backs hurts him. Would hate to lose that. Otherwise I'd wish them luck and hope Wigan won sod all.

Noooooooo

I want Wigan to win, but I wouldn't much begrudge Hull if they did. The lack of interest on the Wigan board is astonishing. Early stages of a new bout of success fatigue, perhaps. If a team whose fans can still get genuinely, cross-your-legs-so-you-don't-wet-yourself excited about these events wins it, that gives some hope to the rest of us. Plus I've got enough friends who'd be way more thrilled than I'll be disappointed. If the worst comes to the worst, just imagine Phil Clarke's face at the final whistle.


We've had a decent season and made the 8. I'd be happier with winning the cup, but I'm happy enough.

I think the potential 250k influx in cash is winning something, but your right Hull lose and they will be like 12 other SL teams.

I can imagine been in a position where if we beat London we have to go to Catalans. It would be weird watching Rovers and the majority of fans probably wanting them to lose! I hope the players took note of Hull's handling skills on Saturday so they know what to do!

Replay`s won`t ever happen ,pretty sure they brought in golden point to stop the the possibility of draws in finals...but i could be wrong..

You are wrong if needed they would be a replay, that's the only way hull would win now at a different ground

didn`t we lose to wire on golden point a few seasons ago..... that`s why i believe that that carries through to include the final... hence why i mentioned it...

Yeah we lost in the cup to wire on golden point think it was briers! That earnt me £100 though I had both halves to finish as draws at 100/1 wish I had put more than a pound on!

i do stand corrected...

found this elsewhere

this was apparently taken from the rfl operational rules...

B4:28
Save in respect of the Final, in the event of a draw, at the end of regular time, then Cup Tie shall then be decided by a "Golden Point". During this period of Golden Point teams shall be allowed to make three additional interchanges.
For the avoidance of doubt any unused interchanges from normal time are carried over and may be used in the period of Golden Point

B4:32
As regards the semi final, if there is a draw at the end of regular time, the procedure outlined in Section B4:28 above shall apply. As regards the Final, if there is a draw at the end of regular time then the Final shall be replayed at a date, time and venue as directed by the Board of Directors.

As regards the Final replay, if there is a draw at the end of regular time, the procedure outlined in Section B4:28 above shall apply

Didn't they announce that the replay would be held in Sheffield?

anyways back on topic....... i would expect us to challenge for wins at our last two remaining games so a finish total of 30pts...which would not be a bad haul for the season tbh.... lets just hope the team keeps its composure and goes about the job properly in the last couple of games...

Brammel lane I think.

Anyhows, back on topic.

If:
Saints lose to Warrington
Catalans lose at Leeds
Hull lose at Wigan
Rovers win at Widnes

Plus:
Hull beat Saints
Catalans lose to Warrington
Rovers beat London

Then we would end up:
Rovers 30 pts
Saints 29 pts
Hull 28 pts
Catalans 28 pts

Giving us a home Play Off with the French.

Right, I'm off to the bookies, cos I reckon for all those to come off, I must be able to get 100-1!

Looking at league positions then only 1 of those games would be against form as Saints are above Hull.
All the rest are far from 'out there' formwise.
We have by far the best run-in as we are the only team to play a sub top 8 side. It's doubly fortunate that both our games are in that bracket.

I also fear it's part of our possible downfall. If we don't go into the Widnes game with the same attitude as if it was a top 8 team, I think we may frep it all away.

We will finish 6th Hull will finish 7th.. Now how does that song go.....?
