I wonder which stand will be allocated to the ? Hope it’s the Stretford end
RFL will be be moaning they got through if it’s poorly attended
Looks like Stretford End for Wigan or Hull KR according to ticket sales just released on Super League website. Tickets now on sale for East Stand. I guess the RFL are looking to sell as many tickets as possible in that stand.
Four fecking cakes & a bun!! Hate that stand, every final we played there before 2010 we lost
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
Just watched the game, get in there Catalan!!! Good old Sam of all people to the put the f**kers out!!!
Scrappy game but loved the intensity in defence.
Got to be up there with the worst reffing I’ve ever seen. Lost count how many times Saints flopped on the tackle Dodd especially
The reffing did change in the second half, though. And, I think, rightly so. Without wishing to assume bias, i get that refs in semi-finals will tend to let more go, and let the game flow. We see the same in the NRL come the Finals and Origin. But it was almost like someone said to him at half-time, you can't carry on like this. The lying-on and malingering in the ruck were ridiculous. And Cats weren't faultless there either.

What a great way for sam to finish at his home ground.
Yes
Well done to the dragons
Agree. Enjoyed the game. Well officiated until late in the second half when the lying on by Saints became ridiculous. The Ref could have red carded all three of them. Saints tacklers that is. Not been a fan of MM whilst one of ours but I thought he had a really good game as did Sam. Glad he scored the try to really seal the game Sad to see
Robby's final game found him on the loosing side. A great player and a massive loss for Saints and RL
? Hope it’s the Stretford end
