Job done. Thought we would have won by more but i think the rain and a little bit of bad luck stopped that. Still home to re watch and 2 points conceded in three games is unreal. I thought smith easily was mom but very happy french got his try walking through the turnstyle( i mean mikey lewis) sorry

I don't think it was a crap game at all, I thought it was a good contest. Wigan's defence held solid, and KR largely fluffed the few chances they had. First v second, deservedly so, and class told out in the end.

I agree, it was 80 minutes that showcased the grit and connection that makes our game so special. I’m so proud of the entire team, the coaching team and the squad players who didn’t make the 17. I thought it was a classic throwback to a proper RL contest. To play for over 5 hs in 4 games and not concede a try is beyond special. We may not never get another chance to see this so take it in everyone.
Awesome support behind the posts and yet another memorable night following the greatest sports team on the planet. Thought Thompson &/Ellis were huge again in the middle.
Also, someone mentioned it earlier but Burgess should have been binned for the cowardly shot to Junior’s head when he was on the ground, He was sin binned for something less sinister in the game at the DW in September.
Anyway. Enjoy the moment everyone. We’ve got a very special group here and an absolute genius in Bevan

Great result and I bet given the score there is a queue firming outside the doctors for blood pressure tablets after that. Not been able to see the game here in Oz but thrilled with the result.
We will be staying with some friends who are RL supporters once we get south of Sydney and while their U.K. team is Hull FC I am sure I’d have got loads of stick had we lost so no chance of that now.
As someone else said how Bevan didn’t make the dream team and how Peter’s got coach of the year I do not know. Peter’s in particular has now lost the two major finals he’s been in and HKR are considered a strong side so for me he’s failed to take them the extra mile and has been rewarded regardless.
Mind you I am sure Peet won’t mind as he puts the SL trophy back in the cabinet along side the other three trophies.

Lewis only kicked that penalty so they wouldn't be nilled!

We spoke about that at the game, but they never showed the replay of Burgess going in on the big screen replays!

Enjoyed the game and thought the worst aspect was the refereeing. I know it is presumptive, but already purchased tickets for next years final.
However, unless ive drunk too much, but why was Peet wearing a necklace of twixs?
