It’s been a fantastic game. With 12 men, I thought it was extremely brave and it couldn’t have been worse conditions to be a man down. It’s horrible losing like that and the decisions in that last 5 mins of normal time were staggering but it’s become the norm.
It’s tough not to sound bitter and I am genuinely made up for HKR and Leigh to both go in to a big occasion, where we’re guaranteed a cup winner for the first time in decades. As a fan of the game, it’s been an incredible weekend of action, one which leaves you stumped as to why the game struggles for fans and sponsors. These lads should be superstars.
We were actually thicker at Wakey, which took some doing. I can cut them plenty of slack today, down to 12 and things going against them. There was no excuses at Wakey (even with the usual shambolic refereeing display).
