Sun 26th Jun: SL: Hull Kingston Rovers v Huddersfield Giants KO 15:15 (Sky)

[John Drake]

Discuss Hull Kingston Rovers v Huddersfield Giants here.

[DavidM]

Giants by 8

Getting their own back?

Presumably that's for the 8 times out of the last 9 games we've beaten them, or was it due to the fact that their 7,000 fans at the semi final all left early?

 

Hopefully they're still trying to get their own back by 5.45pm on Sunday

Hull KR 28-20 Huddersfield

If they're still on the pitch by then they should have scored enough points to win as the game's due to finish around 5pm. 

Interesting that this game is on Sky, seems to have escaped JD's attention.

Huddersfield should be too strong for Rovers but they often have a knack of winning when not expected to on their own ground so I doubt there'll be much between the sides.

Hull KR 18 Hudds 22.

[StandOffHalf]

I think Hulkingstan Rovers might spring something of a surprise here on their own midden.

I'll go 28-16

5.45 gives them time to get over it and to get tapping away about how many fans they won by though

It is social media geeks who post all that stuff. Obviously just trying to sell the game. 

Always see stuff like 'Sunday prep' and pictures of players training on Instagram. Good for the kids as that sort of terminology is widely used amongst the younger lot but it isn't for me. 

I'm 34 and hit that miserable point in life already, obviously

Two weeks ago these clubs met at reserve team level with Hull KR winning by 66-16.

I'm expecting a rather closer contest on Sunday so I'll go with the bookies who say Rovers by 2.

I've not got a problem with it, I like a bit of banter, as long as it stays that way and doesn't get OTT

Giants reserves are basically U19s with a smattering of loan players from Halifax and Hunslet.

Big, big waste imo

I always find it a bit weird that club's social media teams will have a bit of back and forth thinking they're funny when in reality it is just 2 random blokes who have never played a game in their life behind a phone screen

[daz39]

Looking forward to this - if the trains actually get me there!!

Hoping we can make them boo louder than they usually do and start away fan counting before the end as that usually means we're beating them and they don't like it!!!

I'm not using the Semi final as some form of yardstick for this as it's gone and is history, although we comfortably smashed them i expect it to be a different matter at the newKcomlightstreamKchullcollegems3sewellgroup Craven Park Stadium with their boisterious (booing and swearing and singing rude songs about the referee when they're losing) fans.

Hopefully we wil be too strong for them again, still missing Hill and Fages who are big losses to us.

I was unaware of that too, mate. Thanks for the info.

[George Watt]

Bonus TV match for Aus. viewers as Sunday SL matches rarely seen these days.

A win for Huddersfield would open up a sizable gap over the 5th placed club (Hull) and a win for Hull KR would put them on equal points with Hull.

[Dunbar]

I know it's not a big thing but it really annoys me how the BBC show the team list correct for one team (KR) and not the other (Hudds).

The Huddersfield line up is shown as per a Union team with the front row first through to the full back last.

It always seems to be the away team wrong when they make this mistake as well.

The odds have flipped for some reason. Huddersfield now favourites with a -2 handicap.

[dkw]

How is that not a try 

[JohnM]

Because his hand came off the ball .

 

 

[Barry Badrinath]

When did it become acceptable to call him ****?

[Man of Kent]

Low rugby IQ on show from KR. The opposite from Huddersfield. Not pretty but effective. 

[Ullman]

Huddersfield rolling Rovers downfield with ease. Hard to see them losing their grip on this one.

[Futtocks]

Cudjoe wasn't far off a first half hat-trick.
