Caught a bit of it and it's a great watch. Physically, it must be very demanding with great skill on show.Quote:

NZ then missed a penalty to win and then sclaffed a drop goal attempt to level with Tonga seeing out the last minute.
Tonga play Australia next week in the final.

newcomers Edinburgh Giants couldn't have got a tougher introduction to the super league with a tie against defending Champions Leeds Rhinos
fix i say, fix
Super League is back.
Wigan v Leigh, 60mins gone and it's 0-0.
Both defences have been excellent.
Amazingly it ends 0-0. Leigh kick a drop goal in golden point time and win 0-1!
wow glad i didn't watch this one
Leigh beat reigning champions Wigan in golden-point extra-time of the opening game of the 2025 Super League season - after the two sides played out the first 0-0 draw in the competition's 29-year history.
Gareth O'Brien kicked the decisive drop-goal three minutes into the additional time, ensuring a losing start for last season's quadruple winners.
The defensive discipline of both sides shone during a physical contest between these two near neighbours, with neither able to break the deadlock in an attritional but engaging 80 minutes.
O'Brien's one-pointer sparked massive celebrations and secured Leigh's first win at Wigan since 1983.
It was actually a good watch. Wigan should have scored a couple of tries but poor decision making let them down.
The defence was brilliant from both.
First time in my lifetime that we’ve won at Wigan, and it happened in a game like that!
Even before taking in to account that it was week one, the intensity was just incredible. Amazingly low penalty count and error count, too. Believe there was a 17 minute spell in the first half where there wasn’t a single break in play which is frankly astonishing.
This is going to get embarrassing for Salford here. Can't cope with St Helens at all.
so nothing has changed at Leeds Rhinos
beaten at home by the new boys Wakefield Trinity 12-14 dearie me
It's a team of reserves - and they are a million miles off ever making it to first grade.Quote:

Aye it wasn't great viewing.Quote:

I'm heading to Wakefield v Wigan in June. Looking forward to it already.
Good stuff, I'll need to get myself down to a game somewhere this season.
I really wish the Scottish Rugby League could get it's act together and somehow get a team into League 1 but that does not even seem to be on the agenda.
challenge cup 4th round draw, i've put in bold the sides going through :)
Widnes Vikings v Warrington Wolves
Salford Red Devils v Bradford Bulls
St Helens v Leeds Rhinos
Hull KR v Oldham
Leigh Leopards v Batley Bulldogs
Catalans Dragons v Featherstone Rovers
Huddersfield Giants v Wakefield Trinity
Wigan Warriors v Hull FC
Edinburgh Eagles threaten it every now and then, but I think they’re as far away as they’ve ever been.Quote:

With £6 on a Hibs/Bolton/Leigh -12 trixie, it’s been a good weekend in this house!
Wigan 24-0 against Warrington at HT in Vegas.
I might manage Canberra v Wahs but no more than that.
What a pasting Wigan are dishing out.
42-0 with 25mins to go.
I thought the game was a good spectacle. Everything about the set up looked clean and sharp.
I'm not really a fan of these games going abroad in any sport but if you are going to do it you may as well do it right and I think the NRL and Super League nailed it.
Would have been nice to have had a tighter game but I broadly agree, I thought League did itself no harm at all with the trip.Quote:

incredible right at the end with seconds remaining and Leeds get a scrum on the halfway line, too much mucking around actually getting it started and they run out of time, comical really
FT 16-14 Warrington
Leigh 14 Wakefield 30
I thought the yellow card was soft. Players are now just milking some of the hits and the refs / video refs are too quick with the yellows.Quote:

Looking forward to visiting Everton. None of the other grounds interested me as been several times.
Good on that terrace but as you say a dry day is needed 😅.Quote:

:rolleyes: 12-6 as far as i know after the hour
14-6
14-10
well done ash handley getting that red card minutes before losing leeds the numerical advantage they had :(
Rhinos fall apart
14-14 6 mins left
14-20
Referees getting in the way of what was a great game. 2 red cards for the same tackle that got a yellow earlier in the game.
Hull now hit the front. Very harsh on Leeds who were very good for an hour.
