Love a brew.

Challenge cup final : Sat Aug 25, 2012 9:25 pm  
Bit of a boring game by all accounts but a decent win by the neighbours and the result was never in doubt IMO. Leeds are gash in challenge cup finals.

Did anyone go from Widni?

I hope we never hear from the nutter again, but please don't provoke him. It may not have been the best final ever but to describe it as boring is daft. Some great tries scored by Wire, the Hodgson/Leulai incident, the torrential rainfall, Ryan Bailey's usual dummy spit.

It certainly didnt live upto the hype imo I thought Leeds would have tried to throw the kitchen sink at us but never did. I think them being still in it at half time kinda messed things up can imagine barry mc telling them more of the same wheras had we built a bigger lead then they would have had 2 change things up as in last 10 min they started to throw ball around

What the CC final needs is a classic David and Goliath clash. The top sides have reduced this game to a boring bashathon. Massive yawn.

St.Helens v Castleford

Or

Leeds v Widnes

That would interest me more.


There was no anticipation on Saturday; no romance. I was bored with it before it'd even kicked off.

Leeds were incredibly negative. Going for the kick when you are behind and the tryline is begging is such a dismal tactic it encourages nothing but negativity.

They were also their own worst enemy. Finally gather up a bit of momentum and then give away cheap penalties. Very familiar!

Warrington were good for the win, but the occasion deserved a better performance from their opponents.

Bailey is a penalty machine and who banned Wire Thunder?He be back under a different Username.I thought the game was boring, as the game was never in doubt, after the Leeds disallowed try.With the squad Wire have they must be over the Salary Cap.
