Thu 30th Sept : SL play off SF : Catalans Dragons v Hull Kingston Rovers KO 19:45 Sky TV

[Futtocks]

SKD in? Yes!

[Davo5]

Poor defence from Whare.

[Saint 1]

Can't believe how easy that was. Very poor from Whare.

[LeytherRob]

No idea where the catalans knock on came from in the lead up to that try..

[Gerrumonside ref]

Big set this now

[Gerrumonside ref]

12-4 HT

Could still go either way which is what we want entertainment-wise

[bratman]

Either side could still win this IMO

[Man of Kent]

I think KR have been fortunate that Catalans haven’t clicked or it could have been out of sight at HT. KR have had to force it more than even they would want.

[sentoffagain2]

   Loads of handling mistakes from KR and they are still in it.Think Catalan will have too much for them in the second half.But i do hope i am wrong.

[Padge]

KR seem guilty of continually trying to force it, take the 40-20, got a great position from an excellent kick and then just go on a wild goose chase and lose the ball straight away.

[Davo5]

Catalans are missing Tomkins creativity,if KR can cut out the silly mistakes their left edge could win this for them.

[Moove]

I know it's entertaining seeing a team trying to offload regularly but at times it looks like they're just doing it for the sake of it chucking the ball out of a tackle in any direction. Just seemed a bit dumb from Rovers for large parts of that, particularly when they're getting joy from high kicks and moving the ball wide quickly (SKD's try case in point).

Smarten up with the offloads a bit and they'll get plenty more opportunities. Fast pace and a close scoreboard, enjoyable watch so far.

Are you watching the same game, HKR have made more opportunities which they have bombed.

Child is a running joke in East Hull, you don’t know how hilarious that comment is

And KR are missing Parcel just as much, if he is in the middle he takes 2 or 3 defenders out with his Mazey runs, creating more space for the support.

I’m watching one where the visiting side with a struggling pack is having to force it against hosts who have been very clunky with ball in hand.

Yeah, bit odd is that !

[Odsal Outlaw]

Enjoyed the first half, the sold out crowd bringing the atmosphere makes a real difference to the spectacle.

Yes, quietly in the background, at times.

Put on a tinfoil hat and it'll block those pesky transmissions.

More likely noses that are running.

How to snuff out a comeback and spoil the narrative...
