Tetley's Challenge Cup 2014

[chemics]

I'm tipping an all yorkshire final cas v leeds

 

[deluded pom?]

No faith in your team chemics?

 

[The Showstopper]

Wigan have some talented kids coming through. Cas should have buried them alive. Cas are outstanding. They remind me of Melbourne. Highly structured and very strong up the middle. I can see them winning the title next season if they can land two more quality backs. Dom Manfredi has stepped up in Charnley's absence.

Leeds way too good for Warrington.

Peacock MOTM. Easily.

Hall was really good too.

Going to be an interesting final, if leeds can't break their hoodoo this time they never will. Really looking forward to tonight's game

On a side note what a joke on a crowd for a semi final. Seriously 9000 fans only bothered to show up! Shame on fans of both clubs, from what I understand it's pretty affordable to attend.

^ Not sure where you've got that attendance figure from but most sources are reporting 12,000 and the stadium looked mostly full on three sides.

Was in the original BBC article

Even so 12k is still not a good effort in my books. I know that is a typical semi final crowd but, these matches should be given event status ahead of magic weekend. It should be an honour to play in the semi final of the national cup competition, as such it should be played in a bigger stadium with build up and marketing to match

Widnes-Castleford kicking off soon.

Widnes fans invade the pitch at fulltime!

That's bloody terrible. That's the behaviour that used to separate our great game from soccer. Those "fans" are a disgrace.

 

[Evil Homer]

At least they didn't tear down the goalposts like the Hull FC fans in 2000.

 

[langpark]

The Castleford players almost became involved at one point! When they started pushing the mascot around.... That would have been epic!

 

[CC_Roosters]

Cas by 2. Overdue a fairytale cup run and Cas fits the bill.

Last year was horrendus at wembley so lets hope its a good game

Weather forecast?

 

[Paullyboy]

Is this on Telly in Australia? I remember catching the final by absolute chance when I came home from a night out and just happened to flick the box on about 4 years ago. Wouldn't mind doing the same again this year and seeing the rhinos go round. I have just got back from 2 years living in Leeds and miss having a successful team to cheer for.

 

[Harrigan]

Midnight on Eurosport. I'll be at the Pig & Whistle in Brisbane watching.

 

[langpark]

I'd love to see Cas do it, but I think Leeds will win. 40-12 is my bet...

 

[CC_Roosters]

How good would it be to be starting to get on the beer right now around wembley. Went in 2012 and it is my favorite rugby league memory. Well ahead of the 4 grand finals I have been to in England and Australia.

 

[roughyedspud]

most will have had a couple of beers already with breakfast lol

 

[deal.with.it]

I will do the CC next year.
