My tip for any Wakey fans(which was given to me by some of the extended Saints backroom staff I bumped into after our CC semi) is to look at Airbnbs or hotels in Watford. Shortens the drive down and direct tube down to Wembley doesn’t take long. I got a 2 bedroom flat plus sofa bed for under 200 quid a short walk from centre of Watford and the tube is quiet going that way than it is the centre of London.

Cracking result for London, very please for their fans to get the win on the board. As for Hull, just wow. They are seriously lucky IMG is going to save them this year.

I think you'd have to be going back to the very earliest days of RL if at all to be honest. Even early 80s when we won the league it was 5/6k unless it was a cup game or Wigan were in town.

Can't comment on in the ground as I had to miss both games as ST holder. I was flying to US for work during the Cas game and arrived back about 3 hours before Salford extremely jetlagged so opted to watch on TV rather than risk driving. What I will say for Cas is it looked a lot fuller than last season which was our lowest attendance with just under 5.5k which I think is a massive positive.

8,103 for Leigh vs Salford on Friday

At this rate he'll be turning up with a transit van when LSV do their annual pitch replacement later this month.

It's crazy that Charnley was struggling to even break into our championship team when he first came to us. Put in a huge amount of work in preseason last year though and the switch from right to left wing seems to have given him a new lease of life. Even his pace seems to be back up slightly.

Usually it's Rowley teams showing that energy against Leigh, its nice for the shoe to be on the other foot for a change

If you can post this every week it would be much appreciated

Josh Charnley rolling back the years there!

Are these semi finals being streamed/broadcast anywhere?

He wasn't, a Salford player took out Lam on the inside shoulder earlier in the play resulting in the gap that was created for McDonald. The penalty was given for crossing/obstruction. The commentary team were just clueless and missed the call.

I would imagine any deal offered by Leigh would have been on vastly reduced terms. Think 2 years for a player declining as fast as him is madness to be honest. He’s been very poor this year.

Connor got 3 of them against Saints without ref intervention didn’t he?

It's 2 non fed and 1 fed trained(that fluctuates in cap value depending on if it's a club trained player). Moylan will be a non fed, Lam Jr will be the Fed spot. I'd assume Ipape is probably the other non-fed marquee. Very sad to see Asiata go if true, I was always expecting to lose Amone back to the NRL but thought we might be able to keep Asiata.
