Fri 4th Oct: SL SF: Hull KR v Warrington Wolves KO 20:00 (Sky)

I know it just isn't even a consideration of referees anymore, but it would have been hilarious if Moore called a penalty for voluntary tackle there

[Sports Prophet]

Weird to see Lewis and Bateman snogging at the end

I think his kicking game has been alright, but this is a a huge game, and I expected/wanted to see more from him ball-in-hand. He seems to have kicked it a few times when KR had the numbers advantage and didn't run it.

Unlike Williams who I have been impressed with, who seems to put his heart into every run, carry, pass that he attempts.

Yeah, I agree. He didn't own the occasion.

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Great win! Always good to see a new club in the "Big Dance"

[OriginalMrC]

Wow what a game. The atmosphere was electric and what a performance from Hull KR. Defence was immense!

[Cumbrian Fanatic]

Another cracking play off game

[Leyther_Matt]

If tomorrow’s game is anything like that then I’d like to invite you all to my funeral

[gingerjon]

Some defence from KR that. They’ll need the extra day’s rest to recover.

[Just Browny]

Congrats to Hull KR, only thing in it was that they kicked one goal and we missed ours. Can't fault the effort, we were by far the better side in the second half after getting outgunned in the first.

[bratman]

Defence was superb

[JohnM]

Congrats to Hull KR. From the BBC local radio commentaries, it was a close game but Warrington just left it too late.  Ruing those missed goals, no doubt, too 

[Irish Saint]

Almost as good as the All Ireland Hurling Final congratulations to Hull KR

What a fantastic game that was. Huge congratulations to Rovers. It would have been harsh if they had missed out given the season they've had. A reward for all the hard work that has been put in over the last few years.

And there's a chance that this years Grand Final is a repeat of last year's Challenge Cup final which shows consistent improvement from both Rovers and Leigh.

It wasn't exactly in front of the posts ...........

Can we get a replay of that conversion attempt please? I wanna see if it was the gift I thought it was  

[StandOffHalf]

Great semi-final atmosphere.

Wire spread the ball and looked to be coming home as the minutes wound down.

Good defence after errors by KR.

[dkw]

Literally a game of inches, won and lost by the smallest margin. Hundreds of yards ran by each team, and won and lost on the ball going 1 yard forward. Unbelievable.

I’m sure everyone in Hull is well chuffed for Rovers and cheering them on

Unbelievable that 2 years ago they looked to be going backwards when Smith left and now they are in a grand final. Fair play to KR who've grown their revenue and patiently built to this moment

Not sure that was a try and as a Wire fan gutted;

Brilliant game, best defence won.

Cheering on KR - next week

Wow, what an advert for rugby league, absolutely superb (for a neutral). 

[StandOffHalf]

You have to feel for Warrington being denied a GF off a hugely controversial No Try decision, where the ball looked to be held-up and clamped by the defender.

Both teams went the 80, with only two points between them.

Absorbing stuff.

So glad for KR, who I think are the best-coached team in the comp. Bad taste in the mouth for Wire though.

Shame that wasn’t on BBC prime time Friday night

I'm not convinced I agree with the narrative that best defence won. We made more chances, had a few disallowed tries, we scored two tries each. 

They defended bravely at the end, but so did we in the first half when they dominated. Unfortunately, it was missed conversions that sees us out.

Unfortunately, it wasn't even on Sky Sport Main Event - it was basically on Sky Sports 8.
