Last season's thread here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057688003&page=12

Will Castleford play as well as last season, and will they go the extra step this year.

Hoping for another good London Broncos Season, maybe going the extra step to promotion and seeing the London Skolars keep improving yearly. Toronto Wolfpack will probably make quite light work of the Championship and I'm looking forward to seeing if any further expansion happens across the Atlantic, with talk of a second Canadian team or New York team, or more exciting (personally speaking) will the Irish team ever appear in National League Division One?

Wow, just turned over to Sky and Warrington have beaten Hull FC 80-10!

Hull are already on their holidays I think, but tbf they had half a team out injured. Still abysmal though.

Was reading earlier in the week about how the sport was once stifled in France. Great sporting story.

You should read The Forbidden Game by Mike Rylance, it's an excellent book on that very subject.

Catalan Dragons making a right mess of closing this Challenge Cup Final match out, be great for the game if they can hang on! 8 minutes left and one converted score in it!

Fantastic final, and brilliant for expansionists like myself that the Dragons held on.

Leeds building a squad for the Championship next year it would seem...

Broncos beat the Vikings with last minute monster drop goal. Fantastic.

London giving it a right go against Widnes in the middle 8s.

Massive turn up for the books Catalans beating Saints in the Challenge Cup Semi final.

Nice capitulation by Hull yesterday. Not at all coincidental.

Who's gonna get the Leeds job d'ya reckon?

Suppose Daryl Powell has done very well at Cas, he might be in their sights, and his odds have been slashed at the bookies. I thought they'd have someone lined up though, but they're supposedly delaying any appointment.

Brian McDermott has been sacked by the Rhinos. I really like him, and he was always great at the Broncos but maybe he ran out of ideas at Leeds? Injuries haven't helped one bit.

If he wants another job straight away I don't think he'll be out of work for very long. Maybe London bound! ( yeah I know that won't happen, but it's a nice thought).

Tomkins brothers haven't had a great weekend. Video knocking around of Joel being an obnoxious drunk, and Sam just being drunk. Not a great look. Joel has been suspended for a month, fined 10 grand and Sam fined 5 grand.

They've always been dis-likeable pricks!

Saints Hull game was a cracker, sin bin did for Hull I think.

Live Rugby League on the BBC today and tomorrow in the Quarter Finals of the Challenge Cup

Today on BBC One at 2pm it is Warrington v Wigan.
Tomorrow on BBC Two at 3pm it is St. Helens v Hull

Should be a couple of decent games. In the other quarter finals, Leeds hammered Leigh last night 52 - 22, and the Dragons beat the Giants 20 - 6 on Thursday.

No, I've never been to any RL away games. Spent all my money as a youth travelling to Leeds United away games (everywhere from Arsenal to Yeovil). Only ever been to Headingley, unfortunately and Olympic Park for the 4 nations in 2016.

Well Leeds was always very welcoming to the masses (coach load) of London fans who travelled up there. Most grounds are pretty welcoming, well they were 15 odd years ago. Less hassle at Rugby League games than football, plus you get beer on the terraces.

Nice result , financially anyway! Have you been to Catalans? It's a great trip. I have only been once, when London Broncos were masquerading as Harlequins RL. We had Aussie officials (pre some International or another) and they were as bad as the usual. London hammered, credit card hammered, I was hammered. It was fantastic.

If it was in France I'd be hugely behind the Dragons. I put 40 quid on them against Leeds, early on in the week when it looked like Leeds would be missing more than they eventually were. Was looking dodgy when the Rhinos got it back to 17-14, and I would have happily lost the 40 quid (as a rhinos fan) at that stage but they reverted to the same tripe we've been turning up the past few weeks again soon after.

I reckon Huddersfield, Leeds, Wigan and Saints.

St. Helens would be the only one I'm confident with. Leeds have loads of injuries, Wigan looked terrible against KR and the Giants - Dragons is a coin toss imo.

Who we expecting to get through to the smis of the CC then?

Catalan, Leeds, Warrington and Saints for me. Actually difficult enough to choose though, can't say any of those 4 with great confidence...

Plenty of Super League games on today, the Magic weekend. Also the Championship Weekend has a huge game, Toronto v Toulouse.

Tom Mann Centuria

Toronto had one red and three in the bin at one point today, never seen anything like it! Hammered as a result.

Tom Mann Centuria

Toronto v Warrington in the cup on BBC now. Wolfpack of the Championship ahead four nil after 15 minutes.

Make that eight with kick to come.
