Only one golden point win for Rovers ever until Schneider came over and then he gets two in two games. Quite an impact!

Cracking game. What a drop goal by Schneider. Looking forward to us playing you at Wembley. We'll done, HKR!

A titanic tackling display by Rovers...
I hate Wigan....so well done.
A cracking final in store between the two underdogs...

Well done and enjoy Wembley! It could have gone either way but you were the better side with more composure when it mattered. A great game of attritional rugby although neither side was at their best. And the ref got calls wrong for both sides. And please hammer those numpties from Leigh in the final.

I would rather be a numpty,than a pie.

Congratulations on reaching wembley.may the best team prevail.enjoy the day.

Getting to Wembley is a brilliant feeling but as Neil Hudgell has already pointed out we don't want a repeat of last time.

Leigh have a simple formula. Sign a stack of quality players in all positions and you might get a quality team. Working so far. Even so I wouldn't yet put them in the bracket of that Leeds team containing McGuire, Burrow, Sinfield, Peacock, Hall etc etc.

So I'm confident we will concede less than 50 and score more than nil this time......

Can't wait.

Sent the kids to Wigan, so they improve their points difference by nearly 60. Thanks Hull KR

Yeah, it’s almost like that’s something we weren’t very concerned about.

Bongser has an after work drinking buddie that is an East Hullian, Hullite, Hullther, Humbergian? (Mild Rover will no doubt enlighten - he seems a bit clever). He (the first mentioned - not Bongser, Paul the KR buff) is a big RL fan, watches lots of amateur/reserve games and has tagged alonga-Bongsa to LSV on a number of occasions. He regularly holidays in war zones. Recent jollies include ones in Syria and Iraq.

BUT he cancelled a trip to Eastern Ukraine when a certain Special Military Operation was loosed by Mad Vlad and,
to the ribbing of numerous Salford fans, two Leigh fans, a Wigan fan and a Rochdale fan (it's a pub by Salford Central railway station) he has decided to duck Wembley.

Bongser takes this and MR's previous post as a positive sign that he will have paid to see what he craves to see.

Enjoy the day, those more hopeful than Paul

I’ll be there, although whether I’ll see what I crave is a different matter.

Was Paul there in 2015? If so, I don’t blame him. Speaking personally, that has cast a long shadow. I genuinely wouldn’t wish it on a Hull FC fan. It went beyond jesting.

I couldn’t have faced it if it had been Saints, tbh. At least with it being Leigh, I’m guaranteed to witness something rare and special in the modern era of RL. And we’re not just rocking up in the Washington Generals role. It [imight[/i be painful… but it might not.

The Leeds fans sitting near me were great in 2015. I almost felt sorry for [ithem[/i - like you would for an undertaker who has to meet clients just after discovering they (the undertaker not the clients) have won five grand on the lottery.

I’ll be overjoyed if Rovers win. As long they do enough to cleanse my palate of 2015, it’ll be a good day. If not, then if Wembley doesn’t get sucked into the pit of hell where we all have to watch Saints and Wigan contest every major final for eternity, that’ll be something.

I hope you have a good day, whatever the result.

Looking like it's going to be a bit muggy weather wise on Saturday.
As ever, I don't fancy us, think we need to get over the top of their forwards and kick much, much better than we have recently.
I mean, that's a bit obvious!
Our line speed and kick pressure are a concern for me.
I've got a couple of £41 tickets going if anyone wants them.

An old poster would describe this as a… Daunting trip to Wembley.

Inevitable that we’d meet Leigh at some point, it’s what the CC draw brings us every year or so. At CP Leigh threw a lot of shape and our lack of speed won’t save us, if we bite in and get skinned. Something Ryan and Senior are regularly guilty of. With Batch/Opacic and now Schneider I’m hopeful our right will cope. Left side not as much confidence (how times change), even if Hall makes it.

Stating the obvious, our middle is the key, as much as Leigh’s second phase offloads are to them. Parcell and Mini thrive on even half quick plays and we roll on the back of that chaos.

Bring it on.

Good luck guys, may the best team win. Can't wait for it, for the last 30+ years I never thought I'd see Leigh in a challenge cup final.
Bring it on.....

Safe journey to you all. Won't lie will be shouting for Leigh . Should be a good match

Good luck from a Leigh fan may the best team win , who needs the so called big boys to make what I think will be a great final .

like you say may the best team win on the day,everybody enjoy themselves, losers will be dissapointed, but a change that two different teams there,flip the coin and hope

Great result lads

Well done Leigh. They were the better team over 80 minutes, it felt like, and Rovers did well to force extra time.

Not fluent but gutsy from Hull KR and that is much appreciated. Got a couple of moments to celebrate, so way, way better than last time.

Unlucky Rovers
Two worthy teams put on a great watch

Unlucky to lose that but a brilliant game to watch. Good luck for the rest of the season

You could argue your pre-planned “sway the ref” attack of Asiata’s tackling technique cost you the game

By “you could”, do you mean “I would”?

I won’t be because:
1. It is an argument with a some glaring weaknesses
2. It just feels like an odd focus

I like arguing, so normally I’d be encouraging you to expound. But it is just so weak, I think it’d be better for us both if you tried something else.

I think it would have been better if the OP had started his post with "It could" rather than "you could" as seems he's trying to make this personal, and for what its worth I don't believe any of these theories about the ref being swayed by the players actions.
