Sat 24th July SL : Catalans Dragons v Hull Kingston Rovers K.O. 18:00 Local 17:00 UK

[Old Frightful]

Discuss the rather hastily arranged game between Catalans Dragons and Hull Kingston Rovers here.

[Rubecula]

I would have fancied Rovers’ chances before the enforced break, but lack of match fitness will cost them on Saturday. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Cats by 16.

[Liverpool Rover]

Rovers have been out of action for far too long and the momentum we had built up prior to that would have been killed stone dead so I can only see a Catalans win.

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

I thought that the Catalans -v- Castleford game was to be on Sky TV and thus assumed its replacement would be too.  Disappointed to discover that isn't the case.

As to the game itself, Les Dracs by about ten.

[DimmestStar]

This is possibly the best Catalans team ever so going there with 3 days notice having not played for 5 weeks and in a Mediterranean heatwave seems like the stars are all aligned and not in a good way for Rovers.

But if miracles do happen a win would take Rovers above Hull. Goodness that would be the least they deserve if they win this one.

Which channel is this game on ? Our League ?

Hasn't the Our League app finished now?, and I'm not sure if they covered any Catalans home games anyway.

And it's not on Sky either.

I'll probably listen and bung updates on here and my exciting posting manner will make you feel like you're at the game anyway.

Or maybe not...

[Angelic Upstart]

As far as I'm aware there's no TV or radio coverage.

I rather imagine Blunderside will have it on.

I go to a French forum and they have been talking about watching games on our league rather than Bein up until the last game so thought it was still operating but could be wrong.

Thanks, just been on their website and wondered why it wasn't listed.

Damn and blarst!

UK travel restrictions on anyone coming from France would preclude and broadcaster based here from being willing to travel, I presume.

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Anyone going to the game on here? Do a live stream if you are! 

[Old Frightful]

Best I can find at the mo is a live twitter feed from Rervers.

[DimmestStar]

Catalans 0-6 Hull KR after 6 mins.

[Old Frightful]

First blood to Rervers.

Les Cats 0 Rervers 4.

[DimmestStar]

Whitley try now 6-6.

[Old Frightful]

Les Cats 6 Rervers 12

[Old Frightful]

Rervers' tries from Abdull and Kenny Dowall, both goaled by Abdull.

Morgue converted Whitley's try.

[Old Frightful]

Abdull not Abdul.
