Because it’s a semi.

Fev by 20 for me as I’ve told Ovenden Grumt. He knows it makes sense

It should be a relatively straight forwards game for Fev, but as you say it's a semi-final and owt can happen. I've heard Fax have been practicing drop goals. I'm going for Fev 22v23 Fax.

I'll take a 1 point win, though I'm not sure my heart will.

Good luck to both teams, really looking forward to this game.

14-4 at half time, really solid half uphill, good completion rate, good yardage made. Need to keep turning the screw int he second half and not invite them into the game, but we looked much the better team in the first half.

Nice to see a bit of patience and not trying to score off every play.

What an impact Chissy has made, pure quality. 

[mightyship]

What were we worried about

Fantastic performance from. 1-17 especially in those conditions. 
Bring on Toulouse - we’ll be the underdogs (just how we like it) and going over there with confidence that if we’re on the top of our game we can match them.

Massively so. The speed and creativity was another gear up.

Frankie Halton..... wished we could have had his services another year. 

[haskey]

Well played lads a good solid display we never let them into the game. Completion good, defence good in fact good all round.

[clogdance]

Well done chaps, same again next week  

[haskey]

The final is stacked against us, but we will go with confidence, if we can play in these conditions today, The top of the ground in France should suit us.

[spanishknight]

Well done on a great win  from a Knights fan.

[The Blues Ox]

Should be a really good final and this is the game it needed to be. As much as we were having a laugh and a joke through the week I think we got the result that most people expected and we were dominated from start to finish. The top 2 teams have been a class above the rest and I am really looking forward to next weeks game. Good luck.
