It's nice that the opportunity's here but there's not alot to discuss foregone conclusion, one horse race ...wish it wasn't but realism has a nasty way of turning up to these events.

Cas by 200 at least................but really hoping Salford snatch a sneaky win.

 

[MADREDNIGE 746]

Just cannot see Salford winning. 

[Segovia Carpet 158]

Salford have a few back and they are `under the radar`

 

Sarginson,  Lannon, Pauli, Lussick,  Patten & Taylor should strengthen.

 

Can only summise Inu is out due to his partners imminent childbirth and sad Marshall has a reluctance to play Escare who can be a matchwinner.

Thought that, please send Escare to Leigh he will be most welcome.

The semi finals will of course be played in empty stadia at Headingley & St. Helens? No home advantage? Ha ha ha!

The game has become administrative stagnant. Same broadcasters, same tactics, I'm getting bored with the six tackle, kick & clap,crash tackle tactics, it's like watching Union without the passing.

[Bleep1673 1,846]

Hopefully we will see some handling passing, rather than crash/tackle, one up, six tackle & kick boring rugby that we've been seeing recently.

Is this actually kicking off at 5, or is it half past?

He might as well go, everyone else is.

Looks like there's a bit of drizzle at Headingley.

I’ve obviously screwed up here. Thought I would be 20 minutes late but it hasn’t even kicked off? Salford’s bus delayed or something?

[Futtocks 16,639]

5:30pm kick-off. The BBC coverage wasn't scheduled to start 'til 5:10pm.

Which is when it started.

Hope this is a bit more open than the other 3 quarter finals.

[GeordieSaint 6,584]

Two good sides on paper. Let’s hope Salford turn up...

[JonM 3,137]

Great defence from Salford so far.
