One of the few times a Uk game falls at a decent time here in Australia (11pm) and Eurosport choose not to show it live. Delayed coverage at 1.45am

Well I'm just stoked to be getting Foxtel today so I'll be able to watch the game on Eurosport.

Mind you, the highlight for me will be getting Setanta Sport as they show CC1 and this week it's Skolars V 'haven!

Leeds are playing in the god-awful pink strip

Like it, myself.

Good game, so far...

Consolation for Leeds here.

Not sure what to make of that game, it started well but deteriorated when it poured rain. It picked up slightly but poor decisions spoiled it a bit.
The English seem obsessed by giving awards to overseas players though, Westwood should have won it.

That middle area of the stands was fairly empty again. The commentators called it the 'ring of indifference' or something similar.
Is that like the members area at the SCG?

 

[roughyedspud]

yep..thats the club wembley tier for club wembley members

It went the way i expected.

Leeds came out quick at the start, but Warringtons defence was upto it.

It was made easier by the limited options Leeds had in attack.

Second half the Warrington machine just rolled over them and the superior backs could score the tries.


On MOM it could of been one of a few. Waterhouse had a good game, Benny was just Benny, Myler had a superb game.

Great day! :crazy:

Thats pretty good ratings.

 

[roughyedspud]

to put that into context.....the super league grand final got 320k on sky last year

Just shows the charm and history of the challenge cup, and the power of free to air tv over pay tv. Seems a bit more low key this year though, perhaps because of the Olympics.
