Outstanding result for Huddersfield. Well done them!

Saints have the intensity but not the pace. Warrington have the pace but not the intensity. Saints by 12.

Wigan by 24.

HKR at home are very difficult to beat. Don't think Leigh, with their depleted squad, have enough to win. Rovers by 18.

Catalans were very impressive against Saints. Can't see Huddersfield matching that. Dragons by 14

Salford by 14

HKR by a lot!

Wigan by a lot. Peet's named 21 looks powerful and Salford have signed Dudson on loan as they are short of props.

Some good tries scored from both sides. Too much interference from the ref. If it wasn't pen then six agains! How many 6 agains did he give? Too many! Looked a tidy ground though.

Initial reaction from me was that if a club can't afford to travel to Perpignan then they should relinquish their SL place. Difficult in the C Cup where a Championship or lower division club could be drawn away to Catalans but it's a RFL comp and they could surely sort that problem out. Getting Catalans to pay for opposition clubs's travel to fulfil their fixture seems just like the utterly stupid idea that only the RFL are capable of!

In his pressy Ivan Clearly was asked about his sides end of sets plays as they were caught in possession on 5 or 6 occasions. His rely was that he thought they weren't good enough and where he would look to improve. Thought Penrith out played Wigan but the Warriors outscored the Panthers.

Lots of fans will be upset with the officials as they probably wanted Penrith to win. I thought that last "six again" with only seconds to go was tough on Wigan. A Hull FC fan sat next but one to me and when Penrith scored he jumped up, punched the air and screamed "Yes". So what's happened to the "Grapple tackle"? Marshall nearly got choked to death in one tackle. A few seasons ago that would have been a clear pen and may be a yellow card. A great night and made a real event by the Wigan club. Noticed Ivan Cleary mentioned the occasion in his pressy and suggested that the WCC should be held in this country.

Walters has been playing on the edge except when coming out of yardage. He won't be playing for a while as he suffered a "significant" collar bone injury in the Hull FC friendly.

Sold out with 5 weeks to go. Brilliant performance from everyone at the club.

Playing the game in Las Vegas is about as daft as it gets. Wigan will almost certainly sell out. The probable reason behind this is that folk in the RFL at present get a freebie to Wigan, Leeds or Saints. A game in Vegas and the RFL bods get a freebie to the good old USA!
