Raaaaymond, thank you and my pleasure.

It's good to see a number of Saints fans here.

And it is one of things that makes RL – and, indeed, these forums – what they are.

As I've said elsewhere, I think that this is very, very good for the game.

And I shall be watching, in a sports bar in Collioure that I know will show the final. I expect it's going to be a cracker.

Couldnt agree more, and its made the trip that bit more special already to get all these good wishes from so many other fans, even the odd Wire fan.

But then this is why we call it The Greatest Game

You'd be amazed at how many of us wanted this match up in the final

Just like to add my congrats for a fantastic performance on Sunday.

Just what I said to a Wire fan stood with us after the game. I think most of Huddersfield wanted you to win on the Saturday. At the moment I'm so thrilled I know I won't be gutted if we lose the final. Just glad we have ended the run of Saints. (nothing against the Saints but a new name on the cup will be great for RL). Hudds or Wire is a win/win for me.

I am absolutely astounded by 13 pages of good wishes.

I know it doesn't mean that the Shudds tag has disappeared, but it is so overwhelming to have the best wishes of so many people.

In particular, I hope that we would have been as gracious towards the Saints as the fantastic number of their fans has been towards us.

Thank you one and all.

Very true. I'll be praying and shouting for a Wire win, but provided we play well I wouldn't be too upset to lose to Hudds as at least its a new name on the cup, and not just the tired old usual suspects.

Well Done!! : Mon Aug 10, 2009 6:27 pm  

Just a quick note to say well done and I hope you go all the way.
You played with a massive amount of stamina and passion. When you were on the ropes you still managed to come away with a try and deserved to win.
I would also like to say to the 'older' woman outside the ground a little while after the game. WTF?!!!!
I was walking down the road with the mrs when a woman said out loud as we passed, 'how the mighty have fallen' I obviously didn't bother responding but it struck me later how very disrespectful that comment was.
Not to Saints but to Huddersfield.
There is no real fall from grace to lose to a team in 3rd place that are only 4 points behind us. To imply in any way that we had fallen for us to have lost is awful. The giants won because you were better than us, not because we were off the boil.
Get a grip woman, but well done anyway.

Congratulations on your victory. Completely outplayed stains and thoroughly deserve your place in the final.

See you in the capital.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party, but congrats and good luck. If I had the money I'd be on that plane with Sammy in August.
