challenge cup this weekend but i was looking at the league table and see Castleford are pointless at the bottom along with Broncos, my first thought was what Cas need is a derby with Rhinos as they fixtures are normally cup finals for Cas sides/fans, then i looked at next weekends fixtures and wasn't too surprised to see it's Castleford v Leeds :hilarious
Cas have been dreadful when I’ve seen them so far this season.
Going to the Leigh v Featherstone game tomorrow while it’s international weekend.
Proper old style pitch at Cas tonight
Castleford 0 - 0 Leeds. Half time
HT not very often we see a pointless half
good 2nd try for Rhinos 0-12
big mistake castleford 0-14
and another mistake 0-20
6-20
6-26
FT
great Ryan Hall returning to Rhinos next season before retiring at the end of the following season before taking up a role in the commercial department
NRL.magic weekend with all the games in Brisbane over 3 days. Manly v Brisbane was a great game yesterday and both games today have been excellent.
Cronulla 32 Sydney Roosters 30 with 5 to go.
Didn’t catch any of the Wigan v Hull KR semi as I was at Wembley but sounded a bit of a cake walk?
It was more one sided than the Bolton game bossand played in front of a poor crowd.Quote:

Aah that's awful news.
41, a ****ing sin.
Genuinely upset to see he’s passed away
Rest easy pal
The Sky sports tribute was fantastic what a player particularly for someone his physical size so skilful and brave and what a person. What s horrible disease mnd genuinely is. RIP Rob.
terribly sad to hear he had passed away, a terrific player as well
Nonsense start to the challenge cup final.
2 mins gone and both teams have a man in the bin for supposed high shots. Terrible decisions and the referees have made an arse of this.
Don’t see anyone coming close to Wigan for the League Leaders Shield or the Grand Final tbh
what on earth has happened to Rhinos, yet another dreadful display against another awful side in Hull, Hull's first win in 12 with the only other win coming against basement boys London Broncos
20 mins after game finished and no one has came out of the dressing room but the CEO has went IN
they've regressed so much for each of the last three or four seasons
Rob Burrows parents watching on
Leeds were awful. Leigh were fantastic in France. All is well in the world.
(Would have been in Perpignan, but flying to Cyprus in the morning. Tough work but someone’s got to do it)
Rhinos and rohan smith part company, i'm not too sure much will change with the present squad of players.
Stage set for Paul Rowley I expect, was nailed on as soon as Ian Blease moved from Salford to LeedsQuote:

And a Leeds win!
Don’t think there was ever going to be a doubt about the winner with Leeds carried through on such emotional energy.Quote:

New South Wales 38 - 18 Queensland , State of Origin game 2 ,A much improved performance from the Blues , (after the shambles of game one that wasn't hard to do ) , one a piece now as they head to the decider on July 17 in Brisbane. It's always nice to see a team in Maroon getting stuffed
Biggest HT margin in an origin game.
Should be a cracker in game 3.
Warrington 30 Rhinos 18, 5 mins remaining Leeds score a try and reece martin clearly converts, Linesman keeps the flag down, commentator/co already claiming that it did go between the posts and replays show it clearly was good, i actually thought the conversion for the rhinos try before that was also good, i can't remember any rugby game where they got it wrong at a conversion
didn't make any difference to the outcome right enough but still
interestingly after a quick sketch at a rhinos forum i see a couple thought, like i did, that the conversion for the leeds try before that also went between the sticks, wonder if that will be brought up
NSW claim the state of origin series 2-1 , not the greatest of games this morning but it's nice to see a team in Maroon lose .In other news it sad to here about the passing of David " Thirsty" Morrrow
It was decent in terms of intensity but I wish they would have a proper scrap now and again. All this pushing is just bit too pantomime. Where's Gorden Tallis 😃 he could show them a thing or two.Quote:
