Expecting a gutsy effort from Batley but Toulouse will be just too good.

TO 28-8

Fingers crossed, just don't be getting any ideas about the final. Assuming we beat 'fax of course.

Toulouse get a crowd bigger than 2,000?

The headline of this Thread says 16:15 kick off, the Headline of the Fev v Fax says 17:30 kick off both televised, I assume both are GMT which is wrong then if any?

I think the kick off time I posted for this game is local time and the Fev game GMT.

Apologies about not knowing they were on tv, I googled live RL on tv and they weren't mentioned sadly.

I'll edit the thread titles now, thanks to gingerjon for the heads up.

Hoping Fev game is BST not GMT....

Congratulations to Craig Lingard, championship coach of the year

This could easily be a 70-80 point rampage if Toulouse decide to get out of 2nd gear.

Good point. In future, if I do any of these again, people can look the bloody kick off times up themselves.

It's a thankless task but one I'm grateful to you and all who put up the match threads

Considering the disparity in budgets he has done an amazing job.

Not often you can back one team at 55-1 in a semi final, but those are the odds you can get on Batley with Betfair Sportsbook. That eclipses the 33-1 that was quoted about Sheffield prior to their Challenge Cup Final over Wigan.
