Warrington beat Saints in golden point time to book a visit to Hull KR in the semi's.

Wigan v Leigh in the other one.

[LancashireHibby]

Bolton v Shrewsbury at 3 and then a taxi across to the Leigh game at half 5. Has the makings of a classic day, I hope!

[DaveF]

Hull KR 10 Warrington 8

Bit of a defensive grind from Hull but job done. Warrington were a bit clueless in trying to break them down.

Wigan v Leigh next to decide the final line up

[LancashireHibby]

Great game last night, shame the video referee decision is the main talking point. And me having backed Warrington at 10/1 at half time thinking I was in!

Not half nervous about the Leigh game tonight. We’re going to the Bolton v Shrewsbury game first then dashing across. Going to be some atmosphere with 20k+

after 43 mins Wigan 24 Leigh 0, i think Wigan will beat HKR next week

[DaveF]

Penrith beat Melbourne 14-6 to win the NRL title for the 4th year on the trot.

Some achievement to do that but with 3 of their star players heading elsewhere next season, this might be the end of their dominance.

Yeah sadly a game too far for Leigh. Great season, though.

Going to be a cracking final.

Wigan win the Grand Final. One moment of brilliance from Bevan French did the trick.

You dont see many 9-2 in League anymore!

They’ve been fantastic all year. 4 trophies are testament to that. Some season from the Warriors.

[LancashireHibby]

Not the final I was hoping for really but a good day out all the same.

Feels like I’ve been saying it for most of the season, but Wigan didn’t get out of second gear, and didn’t really need to either.

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

What a brilliant game this morning in Auckland between NZ and Tonga in the Pacific Cup.

Tonga led 24-0, NZ pegged them back to 24-24 (tries 3 and 4 were incredible) then Tonga hit a drop goal with 4mins to go to lead 24-25.

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

[DaveF]

Super League is back.

Wigan v Leigh, 60mins gone and it's 0-0.

Both defences have been excellent.

[DaveF]

Amazingly it ends 0-0. Leigh kick a drop goal in golden point time and win 0-1!

[cabbageandribs1875]

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.

[DaveF]

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.

[LancashireHibby]

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.

[Pretty Boy]

This is going to get embarrassing for Salford here. Can't cope with St Helens at all.

[cabbageandribs1875]

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.

A nonsense game and Salford would have been as well staying at home and handing the points over. It just makes the sport look utterly stupid.

Aye it wasn't great viewing.

Hopefully the whole situation gets sorted in the next week or 2 or there will be a few more games like that to come.

I'm heading to Wakefield v Wigan in June. Looking forward to it already.

[DaveF]

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.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Edinburgh Eagles threaten it every now and then, but I think they’re as far away as they’ve ever been.

Wouldn’t be so sure on Salford or Huddersfield!

[LancashireHibby]

Bit of a slog at Leigh v Huddersfield today, but can’t grumble with the eventual 24-10 win

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.

[DaveF]

What a pasting Wigan are dishing out.

42-0 with 25mins to go.

[Pretty Boy]

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.
