No idea who is going to win but very excited to be on the train and on the way to my very first challenge cup final after so many years following rugby league!

Hope you have a great time. The Challenge Cup is a great occasion. Although, for me the dream would be to walk up Wembley Way for a 1st Ashes Test between Great Britain and Australia.

Just heard them playing Land of Hope and Glory, which reminds me of watching Hanley and Meninga lead their teams out in 1990.

If anyone else is watching the build up, I don't think the owner of the Centurion Pub needs anymore Red Bull

Not like Degsy to want it all to be about him. Horrible big headed, ego maniac.

   He took a risk putting money into Leigh and when they were relegated he did it again.How much publicity has he achieved for the town of Leigh and Rugby League in general.Fair play to him.

Lizzie Jones doing the business, as usual.

This is gonna be a cracker of a game.

It's just a shame that the crowd isn't bigger.

I agree, bet Bulls wished they had someone who would put as much money in Bradford as he is at Leigh. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but you can't knock his passion and commitment.

I have no idea why but I am feeling a bit nervous?!

Jinxed her - she got a bit lost at the start of the national anthem.

But she recovered well.

Calm down dears.

[Spidey]

Wellens caused that

[johnh1]

Well done ref.

 

[MZH]

I don't like particularly like the tackle technique, but Kendall is right. It's not currently illegal.

He sure did. Should be ashamed of himself.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Rovers getting nilled at Wembley again I see.

[The Phantom Horseman]

Davies saying Asiata got the technique wrong in that tackle...whatever your thoughts on his tackling technique (and IMO it's legal under the current laws), if you've been watching RL at all in the last few weeks you know it wasn't a question of "getting it wrong", that's his own individual technique.

Sounds a cracking atmosphere

That's a shocker from O'Brien. No harm done though.

[Nothus]

what the hell was that pass hahaha

20,000 ticket holders not arrived due to traffic!

Good to see KR drawing attention to Asiata's ''legal'' flying cannonball tackling, albeit at the cost of 2 points.

As a traditionalist, I much preferred the Robins simple red and white tracksuits.

Good on Leigh for the re-invigoration of the re-brand, but all the leopard stuff looks a bit tacky to my eyes.
