Highlighted my guesses above...

Think I'll be taking a spin to Halifax to see Siddal v Batley. Siddal are an unbelievable amateur team who would go pretty well in CC1. Alot of their players would be playing for Semi-pro/Pro but have decided they better off sticking with their careers.

They reckon this volcano business may affect the French fixtures......

I was waiting for one of the candidates to blame the ash-cloud on the other during the PM debate.

Actually, I'm now considering changing my Hull-Leeds prediction. At Hull, it's gonna be a cracker

AdeT · 16-04-2010 10:22PM

Swinton 4 - 56 Halifax

No major surprises in the first game of the weekend

toomevara · 17-04-2010 11:35AM

Leigh and Salford have ferried it to France, fair play to them, obviously seriously buggered their match prep, but top marks for dedication to the cause....

amacachi · 17-04-2010 01:19PM

Fancy Leeds to batter them tbh.

Maybe I'm just being mental, or it's the picture format, but on the little montage of the final a few years back did the players in general look a bit bigger? :S

Also, not sure where else to put this, but I found a Rugby League Mega Drive game last night, last thing I expected to find. :P

amacachi · 17-04-2010 01:52PM

Think his laces touched the line, his mother will be very annoyed with him. :pac:

SarahBM · 17-04-2010 01:58PM

Smiths try would have been nice if it was allowed! Come on Rhinos!!!

toomevara · 17-04-2010 02:13PM

Tansey you feckin' turncoat!;). Leeds only themselves to blame, concentration levels just aren't what they were, carbon copy of last weekends game in a way. Scoring, getting comfortable..and letting FC back in with a gift like that...

amacachi · 17-04-2010 02:18PM

Missed Hull's second try.

FFS, was just about to say how impressive Hull's tackling was, silly penalty given away, missed tackle and a few gaps. Come on Hull, keep it interesting at least, Leeds look like they can score often if they get field position.

toomevara · 17-04-2010 02:22PM

Thats better, proper football from Leeds. Now they've got to keep the concentration levels up and keep working....wouldn't bet against an FC try in the next 5 mins though....

amacachi · 17-04-2010 02:26PM

Tansey's one of Leeds' best players out there today. :pac:

toomevara · 17-04-2010 02:31PM

What a try!!!!! beautiful stuff....Leeds are hummin' for the first time this season.

Paul Tergat · 17-04-2010 02:31PM

That Leeds try just there was simply stunning. Keeping the ball alive, great offloads, some greet jinking from Burrows and a really composed finish by Hall.

Agreed, give us a fast track and a sunny day and we're happy...how good is Buderus today?..taken us up a notch. Got to keep the concentration now, not do what we did at headingley last week...

Leeds look at it today mate. Can see you winning this half too, although I hope Hull just dont give up though.

Dozen Wicked Words · 17-04-2010 02:53PM

Quins 22 - Wakefield 10

In fairness old dick silverwood's doing everything he can for them now!!

Harlequins 22 - 16 Wakefield :eek:

Ridiculous decision from Silverwood..a joke.

SarahBM · 17-04-2010 03:20PM

And another, try-saving professional foul, no yellow card.

SarahBM · 17-04-2010 03:26PM

WHAT A TRY FROM HALL!!! RHINOS!!!!

Dozen Wicked Words · 17-04-2010 03:28PM

Sheffield beating Wigan 10 -4. Doubt it will last.

BBC TV not on the ball, they just announced above, its now 10 - 10

Yeah beautiful,MOTM too, good day for him. Were it not for that ridiculous yellow for Burrow, Hull would have been totally embarrassed today.
