*** Official Rugby League SLXX Thread ***

Rovers weaknesses showed through tonight. A narrow and short pitch certainly didn't play to Rovers strengths. We struggled to find any gaps in defence and Cas' heavy team could manage easy metres despite where they started on the pitch. Had a feeling that we would get nothing from this game. Cas seem to be our bogie team, have been for a while.

Wakefield had a bad day today. Can't see them recovering this year and are likely contenders for the drop.
 
There will be a few right wingers who won't be that upset about Carney's injury! He is an absolute beast. Powell is doing an amazing job at Cas. They lost some good players at the back end of last season but seem to be just carrying on as though nothing has happened. They are quite a few team's bogie side (including Wigan)

Wakefield are the worst SL side I've seen at Wigan since the last time Leigh were up. Webster's comments that they might as well give up until R24 wouldn't be thrilling me if I was a season ticket holder.
 
Wigan's best performance with ball in hand. Some woeful defending though. Sarginson won't be watching it too many times.

Good to see Sam Tomkins back. The worst kept secret in RL. Maybe Joel told him the truth about playing RU :). Wish he'd told Sam Burgess as well.

That final pass for Wigans first try was absolutely top class.

Saints are all over the place at the moment losing to a rampant Leeds side, 30 mins in and if I'm being honest, its hard to see them losing this.
 
Rovers lacking defensively for big spells during the Bradford game but got over the finish line winning 30-50. Disappointing display to be honest, conceding so many tries and it will do Bradford more good than Rovers, despite the fact that Rovers are in the hat for the next round.

Slightly bitter note though, fans of both sides have had their cars done in whilst parked in the Richard Dunne sports facility. At least 15 cars had windows smashed in and things stolen, including a Range Rover whose headlights and grill were removed.

Very happy with Batley at home. Good to see at least four Super League level sides will be taken out in this round too ;) (I'm including the Leigh game in that).

On a side note, how do you pick up 18 balls and not check they all have numbers on them before doing a draw? Ridiculous!

Missed all the tv games this week aside from Catalans v Rovers. No complaints with the result really, we just weren't at the races for some reason and for all the effort we couldn't match their size. Battieri, Casty, Taia and the new lad Springer were just too much of a handful.
 
Oh dear, a lot of our players are unexpectedly out tonight with 3 players from the academy on the bench! No Campese, Lunt, Allgood, Tilse, Salter, Mantellato, Goulding...

Fear for the score tonight, can we get it postponed until we get our players back from injury? ;)
