I'm really beginning to like Shaun Wane's attitude. 1st off he defends the easter programme, and names his strongest side for both.

And then he sends out a very strong side (yes he did play a couple of youngsters), for the game v Leigh.

by **Ozzy3213** Sat Apr 20 2013, 10:27

Looking forward to HKR v St Helens this afternoon. Fancy HKR to win it.

by **Pal Joey** Sat Apr 20 2013, 15:47

Anyone watching? Kenny... maybe you're at the game.

Great 1st half from the Rovers. That head shot by Meli (broken arm?)on Hall.
I couldn't believe his head was still attached and then he scores a try a few minutes later.

Saints score early in the 2nd half. 16-12 to Hull KR after 50 mins.

by **Pal Joey** Sat Apr 20 2013, 15:48

Mark Percival scores. 18-16 to Saints.

by **Pal Joey** Sat Apr 20 2013, 15:58

Eden try disallowed.... then he scores a legit one minutes later.

22-18 to the Robins.

by Guest Sat Apr 20 2013, 16:17

Really good game in the second half, I only caught the last 10 minutes of the first

Some great full back play by Eden to get out of trouble when he really should've been tackled

We (widnes) were quite poor last night, although no disrespect to Doncaster who gave a really good account of themselves

by Looseheaded Sat Apr 20 2013, 16:18

outstanding try there, truly audacious kic

by **Pal Joey** Sat Apr 20 2013, 16:24

Dobson MoM.

Great win for Hull KR! Congrats Kenny. One step closer.... thumbsup

by **Kenny** Sat Apr 20 2013, 22:31

Thanks LB

We went to the game , i thought it was a very good advertisement for our league .

We looked good from the start and i thought we didn't really let Saints into it until those ten minutes after half time .

The high shot was a bad one , and i thought everyone in the stands were going to riot with all the shoulder charges that Saints were hitting ( i thought it was banned ? , a yellow card should of been shown imo ) .

all together i thought it was a good performance and a very good win . Lets see who we get in the draw on monday

I'll take this. Hopefully Betts will take it a bit more serious than he did Doncaster and we can progress and then hopefully bring a super league club to the stobart if we do get through to the next round

Excellent opportunity for you to go further , id rather have your game then ours Smile

by Luke Thu May 02 2013, 03:45

The Huddersfield/Leeds game will be the televised one.

Also wonder if 5 live will get the next draw after the man sausage up they made of this one.

by **Pal Joey** Fri May 03 2013, 03:31

I'll try and watch some of these games.

So what are your tips for the 5th Round?

Even though I'm unfamiliar with some of the challengers, I'll go:

Catalans
Hull FC
Widnes
Wigan Sad

(but I really hope Hull KR can spring an upset there)
Bradford
Warrington
Leeds
Halifax

by Luke Fri May 03 2013, 14:00

Pretty much who you've put down, apart from Sheffield to beat Halifax. Be nice if Rovers could win but can't see it happening, Huddersfield to beat Leeds possibily.

by **Pal Joey** Fri May 03 2013, 14:05

I think I have a soft spot for Halifax. Don't know why. Maybe because they are an old club with a long history. It would be good to see them back in SL.

Are Sheffield a much stronger side? Do they have the wood on Fax?

by Luke Fri May 03 2013, 14:28

Sheffield are an exciting side, very good backs. Won the championship GF last year, runners up the year before started okay this season. Halifax lost to Featherstone 40-12 last week, but other than that they're unbeaten, decent set of forwards. Couldn't tell you if they've meet this season.
Should be a good game. I like Halifax, 10 minutes into Bradford, 20 minutes there. Ground in the center of town, couple of good pubs near it. Plus for years when I started going to RL, ourselves and Halifax always seemed quite close in form etc. Remember when we got relegated 88-89, Halifax also went down, first game between us drew over 9000, and we won.

by **Kenny** Fri May 03 2013, 14:34

I would go with all your picks LB apart from Halifax , like tiger i think Sheffield will beat them .

by **Pal Joey** Sat May 04 2013, 03:31

OK, I would be foolish to go against the Eagles then. Whistle

What are Workington and York City like? Will they be record scores against them are can they remain sort of competitive for 20-30 mins?

The Broncos win was a bit of an upset, no?

Big one on tomorrow. Go 'ull! Smile

by Luke Tue May 14 2013, 13:32

Great win for Huddersfield against Leeds, a domininent and fully deserved there win.

All sunday's games were abit one sided, with Wigan winning by 30 at Rovers, Catalan scoring 90 against a gallent, but out gunned York. Warrington stuffing an apparently poor Salford team, and while Workington battled hard, and were game opponents, not scoring as widnes run in 36 points.

If my Memory's right,

Huddersfield 24 Leeds 8.
Hull KR 14 Wigan 46.
Workington 0 Widnes 36.
Warrington 56? Salford 6.
Catalans 94 York 6?

And so after an age, the challenge cup begins again this weekend.

My tips to go through are
onoon,
Catalans,
Warrington,
Wigan.

Though I think all 4 should be good games, and wouldn't be surprised if I'm completely wrong.

by **Kenny** Thu Jul 11 2013, 12:59

I'm going for

Sheffield
Catalans
Widnes
Huddersfield

A poor result for Sheffield against an injury weakened London side.
The Broncos are the worst side in super league and if Sheffield can't beat them when the Broncos have so many injuries, what sort of Cricket scores would better super league clubs knock up against the Eagles?
This to me is a massive negative for the new proposals which include P & R.

I think without a doubt we will have a Warrington v Wigan final.

by **Kenny** Sun Jul 14 2013, 22:34

With regards to todays Warrington v Huddersfield game , i am surprised nothing has been mentioned by anyone about the bottle that was thrown onto the pitch at a Huddersfield player towards the end of the game .

by **Kenny** Mon Jul 15 2013, 15:19

Warrington Wolves v Hull FC will be played at the John Smith's Stadium kick-off on Sunday 28 July at 6pm

London Broncos v Wigan / Widnes will be played at the Leigh Sports Village on Saturday 27 July at 5pm kick-off.

by Guest Mon Jul 15 2013, 15:31

I would absolutely love us to pull off the shock result tonight, I would take back anything I ever said about Dennis Betts haha

by **Kenny** Mon Jul 15 2013, 17:23

fingers crossed for you gazzy

not helped by Wigan getting Tomkins and Mossop back and of course not being able to play Hock against them though .

by Guest Mon Jul 15 2013, 20:34

This is an embaressment. Ashamed to support this team at the minute. I was never expecting to win but is it too much to ask for to show a bit of competitiveness

by **Kenny** Mon Jul 15 2013, 22:22

Any very slim hope London had of winning this game was destroyed by Phil Benthem. London didn't get a 50/50 call all afternoon. I know refs have a hard job, but his performance this afternoon i found embarrassing to be honest.
