All home wins except Saints and Catalans - given Cas's current form I reckon Batley could be the upset here.

Inclined to agree, although there's a spirit, a force, aggression about Leeds that might just hold Saints at bay. 

Q: When will we know that 14 clubs is working for Super League?

A. Before we can answer that, we need to know what the move was meant to achieve. Seemingly, no one knows,

A real shame that the Leeds v Saints game is only on the iPlayer, and therefore only viewable in the UK.

God knows what the Beeb have on BBC4 and 3. Probably TOTP episodes repeated for the umpteenth time. Shows how much they care about RL.

This contest should be getting the big game treatment on BBC 1 or 2 - and there should be another game televised as well from the round.

Sky channel 970 which is the BBC Red Button channel.

Is there a programme do we know or is it the classic 7:55 start?

I'm surprised with how strong a team Wigan have named. I thought they might rest a few but hardly any really. Hopefully Sheffield can stand up and give a good account of themselves.

A large empty stand .

Appallingly viewing figures .

The media airbrushing of the sport continues.

This is a very amateurish production for Saints Leeds in the CC.

It's rubbish. Really not good enough tbh. 

It doesn't look like anyone's interested, fans, broadcasters, clubs.

What does airbrushing mean in this context?

That's because no one is interested.

Hopefully a good old fashioned cup tie up at The Mount, with a decent crowd. Would've thought it would be a good pick for the cameras but apparently not.

I am interested, as Is my wife. We're watching Leeds Vs Saints on the Red Button on terrestrial TV, SSP won't show up on the online viewing figures. Not only that, I'm quite happy with the commentary team.

A. Before we can answer that, we need to know what the move was meant to achieve. Seemingly, no one knows,

Where are the Leeds fans? That stand is empty!

Whenever anyone points this out, the answer from Leeds fans is that there are thousands inside in hospitality.
