Challenge Cup 2019

If Bradford came up against KR or even Wakefield or Catalans in a semi I have to think they'd like their chances of an upset. All 3 can have an off day

Rovers yes. Trinity and the dragons would just have too much imo.

95/100 times probably, but Catalans in particular can have an absolute shocker in them

Sure but I can’t see them beating hull fc away from home.

I haven’t actually seen a crowd figure, but I reckon, if it was 10k, reckon about 8k Bulls fans.

Crowd was 10,258 and peaked on BBC TV at 1.1 million viewers.

Had it been a middle 8’s clash then you could have easily added another 2,000-3,000 to that crowd.

Nuts when you consider how much Ch9 pay NRL for an audience of 1million and how much BBC pays RFL!

Hull decided they wanted to play tonight. Hull 51 v Catalans 8

 

[adamkungl]

Catalans must be close to the most infuriating sports team on Earth.

Just behind Hull.

Hull KR 22 v Warrington 28.

 

[Storm13]

NZ Warriors of the SuperLeague

Every team except St Helens and Warrington in the NZ of the NRL. Hard to watch this competition at times.

 

[Perth Red]

Hull KR 22 v Warrington 28.

Good result for us, put up a fight but got knocked out. We’ve got more important things to concentrate on this year.

 

[deluded pom?]

Bradford 16 v Halifax 20.
Semis - Saints v Halifax and Warrington v Hull.

Well done to fax but I bet the RFL are sick that the bulls lost as they would have added a few thousand to the gate for the semi-final double header at Bolton. That being said Warrington and hull fc should travel well and I’m sure saints and a few thousand from Halifax should see it sell out.

 

[Taking The Two]

Not taking anything for granted with the semi-final draw. We’ve been here before with the perceived “easy” draw and ended up with egg on our faces.

I'm ready to show my arse in Hammonds' window if Saints lose.

We should win quite comfortably, akin to beating a dominant (by Championship standards) Hull KR 50-0 in the ‘06 Semi, however, we’ve lost something daft like ten of our last eleven semi-finals in both competitions and we had the “easy” draw last year and ended up looking like the Basketball players from Space Jam when they’d had all their talent sucked out of them by those little aliens, so I’m not taking anything for granted.

You've just highlighted another reason why Saints won't lose.

 

[adamkungl]

Saints positioned well for the treble.
Aside from the slim chance of a Catalans upset in the Super League finals, I hope they get it too.
They play an excellent style of football and have been the most consistent for 2 years now.
