They got monumentally lucky last year with injuries, this will be a real test for them.

- Thread starter JRS
- Start date
God, I could really fall out with Rugby League sometimes...a swinging arm to Dezaria's throat, utterly unnoticed by Kendall even with the TV replaying it a few times for the big screen.

And then Dezaria takes a yellow in the second half for something waaaaaaay less egregious! Just pathetic

In this week's episode of 'JRS falls out with the rugby league hierarchy'...
I really wish they'd just admit that they don't want Catalans (or any other French teams) in the competition. At least that would be honest.

The RFL are dominated by chairmen of the smaller clubs with very little vision for the game as a whole. Always have been. You wonder if the NRL taking over isn't such a bad idea

I can't believe Leeds came back and Leigh collapsed, unbelievable!
Some proper Rugby League weather in the Challenge Cup today

I bet Mark Sneyd wishes he could re-take that drop out 
Wigan got away with one there.

They definitely did.
Catalans v Cas is on now, listening to some very excitable French commentary over the Sky visuals via L'Equipe
***edit***
Spot of red mist there from us, not realising that six again had been called and we had tackles in hand close to the try line. D'oh!
***edit 2***
Pressure finally tells. 4-0.
***edit 3***
And again. L'Equipe commentator moved to call it a "masterclass" (yes, using the English word... presumably a loanword in French in the same way we got rendezvous). 10-0.
***edit 4***
Better from Cas. 10-6.
***edit 5***
Swiftly followed by normal service resuming! Jonners gets his first try of the season. 16-6.
***edit 6***
Starting the second half well. 22-6
***edit 7***
Make that 28-6
***edit 8***
Cas not folding. 28-10.
***edit 9***
Honestly can't tell what the video ref was trying to give/rule out there...hey ho.
***edit 10***
Odd moment. The TV graphic came up as a Cas incorrect play of the ball, but either the graphics had the wrong tackle count or the ref did. Should have been a handover
No matter. It all resolves in a set of six that ends with les Dracs twisting and turning and crashing over the try line again. 34-10.
***edit 11***
TMO's getting some work tonight...and it's given. 40-10, 12 mins to go.
***edit 12***
The scoreline doesn't really reflect just how much work Castleford have put in tonight. Or maybe it does, in that they've limited Dragons to the current score. ~7 mins to go and they're still running it hard, chasing the game like their lives depend on doing so.
***edit 13***
They get a reward for some of that hard work, over at the corner for Simm. Milnes can't add the extras. 40-14.

That's a long time. I'm more than happy with the coaching set up, but it only takes one bad season for the pitchfork brigade to turn out in force. Good luck to them all though
Not wholly straightforward at times, but it'll do.
I see Wigan got Kendall'd in the match against Saints. Quelle surprise.

Losing Mickey Mac for this evening is a blow, but we've still got a pretty damned good side to put up.

Here we go-go-go...
***Edit 2***
In no shape, way or form was that second one for Saints actually a try Liam Moore screwed the pooch on that one.

Saints travelling support top drawer as ever. Saints themselves...two missed conversions didn't help their cause, Liam Moore simply inventing a grounding did (not enough '' in the world), both teams a bit scrappy at times. But, **** it - a win is a win.
