I think Rovers will nick a close game. But as a Rovers fan and therefore a perennial pessimist. I'm already super nervous about this game.

We should have a good crowd to watch the game in AZ

[Harry Stottle]

Catalan may have a big pack but they tire to quickly, HKR to nimble for them all over the field, I don't expect this to be a close game at all, I think HKR will be very dominant on the scoreboard at the end.

Cats on paper look to have had a good run in their last 8 games have had 6 wins and two losses, but look deeper and these wins have come against Fev, Salford x2, Giants, Cas and Trinity and losses to two teams that at the time were above them in the table a poor Saints and an understrength Leigh.

[Loiner]

Rovers by quite a few 

[Luke HKR]

Hopefully Rovers, by about 10.

Normally like to see Catalans do well but like the RFL hoping for a Hull KR win.

Implications on the crowd and consequently finances and image of the game is huge.

So if you're worried about the crowd, why do fans say Catalans bring a lot of things to the game ? They have as much right to get to Wembley as any other team or what's the point of them entering?

[Thunder Road]

KR by 4 scores.

[StandOffHalf]

Catalans 28-22

[Father Ted]

Once Wigan were knocked out it is Rover Cup to lose. They won't lose to Catalans though.

HKR by 26.

One thing they won't be bringing to the game if they win tomorrow, is thousands of fans to the final.

Are games on the BBC also available on iplayer? I can usually watch iplayer with a VPN from overseas.

That's what I normally do to watch the Cup games.

Have you been on the 'poitin' No6?

I thought you were having a laugh on your prediction for the other semi, now I am wondering if there is some outside influence getting to you

Hehe, no. I just think Cats and Wire will raise their games for a SF in a neutral venue.

[George Watt]

Hull KR to win this is my fearless prediction! 

[Worzel]

Let the 4 hour journey begin! ️

Can’t call this one, Catalans are improving every week and have stayed in England to prepare. Anything can happen in a semi-final!

Started my journey to the game, one train already cancelled. 

Agree, anything can happen. More hopefully then anything, other than magic last year. They have a ridiculous record against us.

I’m thinking the same, as much as I’d love to see Catalan win something, I’d prefer it was the GF.

Stadium looks great even though there's only 8.5k there

It does. 

But camera too low for my liking and having to go close up too often to compensate.

Yeah not keen on the camera angle!

Camera-work just awful on that try.
