It was like watching a game at belle vue.

That's exactly how I described the atmosphere

Agree with all that then look at what he's been through off the pitch aswell what a man.

Terrific effort tonight. The pack really stood up. Two great semi-finals which could have gone either way. Hope Stevie Ward has not broken his wrist or similar but I fear the worst, cruel on him, he has been excellent of late.
Credit to McD for getting this performance when it mattered, Leeds needed to be at their best and just had enough.

I think Ward has dislocated his shoulder, always a tricky injury and his recovery time will depend a lot on how quickly and how well they can get it back in place.

For his sake I hope he can pull through as he imo has been one of our best this year and deserves GF and an England call up to boot.

If he doesn't I still have a lot of confidence in Jimmy K (or Delaney if he is back) to show up well next week, but Ward personally deserves to play next week

First half we was most dominant I've seen us in a while just failed to score one or two tries we needed and probably deserved, but we got the job done in the end, Singleton and Garbutt were class throughout mcguire and burrow took charge when they needed to, I would definitely play Ash Golding for Grand Final next week over Walker, just think Walker is abit young and Golding seems the better out of the two in pressure situations which is all the game in the grand final, hopefully Ward isn't to serious and hopefully see him on pitch next week, but he looked to be in some discomfort, well done Mighty Rhinos what a difference a year makes and hopefully we'll be lifting that trophy again like we belong. MOT ALAW!!!!!!!

Walker over Golding every day of every week. You need a positive, confident, go forward back three on kick returns - Walker does this, Golding is hesitant and still too sideways although improving IMO.

Thought we were outstanding first 25 mins, then the subs happened and that dominance slipped. That's the big worry for next week. Playing like the first 25 minutes I don't believe Cas could beat it, but Cas themselves play in patches and only need the opposition dropping for a period and they hit it hard. Taking Parcell off for me is an absolute no no, the team visibly drops significantly, both defensively and offensively. We also need Cuthbertson out there as much as possible,

But how good did we look when we had that control. I really hope Wardy can play though, the difference with him in and out is huge.

Well done on the win and congratulations on reaching another Grand Final.

The better team on the night won and thankfully the result was not down to the referee's whistle. Hull paid the price for a slow start although we showed great endeavour to get back into the game after being totally outplayed in the first twenty minutes or so.

I usually find semi's a tad disappointing, but both reached a great climax.

Just wait till you get to my age, reaching a semi is about as good as it gets.

Especially when you factor in the ratio when there actually someone else in the room!

I've always thought he had the talent but lacked application, having read about his off field problems I can see why. Now that he's maturing & resolving his issues he's finally looking like he'll become the superb player he looked like being when he started out. Full of admiration for the guy.

the 2 coaches press conferences are well worth a view and a credit to the game. Football managers could learn plenty from how radford conducted himself.

Agree with that, assuming ward and Delaney are out and with ablett struggling to be mobile and ferres coming back to fitness , we look a bit light.
Given that I wonder if he will start ferres for ward and move moon to 4, mags and burrow in halves and use sutcliffe as a back row option. Jimmy k could come in but I'm not a big fan of him in 2nd row. Whatever ward is abig loss.

They're not gunna change mags and moon partnership now after they've played together all year. Nor should they

I totally agree, a credit to both men & the game itself.
Plus the obvious massive respect towards Ellis & between him, Danny & Rob.

This applies also to Walker but he does seem a better attacking force in the opposition half but it was a surprise that he didn't outpace Ellis in the second half.

Ideally, I'd keep it together as well but we are short of forwards to play long minutes. Only a thought

Just wondered if anyone else thought Mac's 'interview' was possibly an indication he might be off? I didn't fully get why he was so silent and choked but then just thought with the context could it be that he will be off after next week too?

Yes I was surprised he didn't outpace Ellis too. He looked a bit lightweight in defence which is why I prefer Golding at FB. But Walker is a talent and I still see him as a 6. We are lucky to have two such good young prospects

Can you really not get why he would be silent and choked after just winning a play off semi final after all the stuff that's been said about him and his team the last 18months?

I can, yes, but considering how he has been previously about getting to finals I expected something more like the previous tone of 'getting to the final is nothing too much' to celebrate. It just felt a bit 'I have come full circle now' and that is why he was choked.

Well done for last night, pretty even game, first 20 mins cost us IMO, took too much out of us, we may some silly errors, but you played really well in that spell.

Enjoy next week, hope its as good a game as the semi's

not had chance to come on since up at 5.30m for work

congratulations on your win, obviously disappointing for us, but first 20 minutes killed us
