Robins Show their Underdog Spirit to Eliminate the Warriors An all Super League Challenge Cup match up between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR did little to demand the neutrals attention after the 60-0 drubbing which the Warriors handed out to their visitors just a short fortnight ago. With the DW Stadium pitch undergoing maintenance, the game was moved to the Leigh Sports Village and SKY select the game for live televising. Just over four and a half thousand souls, some of them using free tickets handed out by the Robins after their heavy defeat a fortnight ago, braved the elements to see whether KR could upset the bookies, the pundits and all expectations.

Pack got mullered again.

Hull KR smashed them up the middle. Don't know how half those pie-eater props are earning a wage.

As for Bateman, he looked like a garden gnome next to his own winger (Burgess).

Well done Micky went to injure a HKR player and smashed your own

Watching the tries on sky news was worth the licence fee. Specifically when they showed the gorillas mush after the last KR try.

Apparently there were more KR fans than pies which is not surprising as there was chaos at Platt Bridge. With two sets of lights and three choices of route it was all too much to take in for the wigin lot.

Hull KR new prop Dane Tisle looked good, looked to have gotten through a lot of work. Campese controlled the game very well too.

Remind me to laugh next time one of your players gets knocked out in a head class will you?

Cheers

Not true, but there were more Wigan fans at Leigh than Saints fans at LP. hth.

We did play York though. Hardly an enticing opposition! Beside the point, but I've never understood why fans take pleasure in rival clubs getting low crowds.

Who do you think generated more money for their club on Friday night Saints or Wigan?

If Wigan owned their own ground they would still be in the challenge cup, what a sad state of affairs for a modern day club.

Would they, Castleford beat Wigan at the DW last year.
If we had played York on the car park we would have won.

And you should know about generating money, Saints have LOST around 8 million pounds over the last ten years.
