Well done on beating St Helens in the semi final of the rugby league challenge cup.. An amazing feat for a club that was odds on for relegation at the beginning of the season..

Excellent performance, a great game of RL, I saw their last Wembley final in 1971 under Alex Murphy.

Remember Leyland Leopards as our school bus back in the early 70's

That was a fantastic game to watch. Fair play to the Leigh owner β¦. Theyβve been amazing this season.

Wow,another unbelievable semi final with Hull kr winning with a golden point drop goal..Wigan had a man sent off at start of second half. A poor decision,it should have been a 10 minute sin bin at the most.. talk about reffing decision ruining matches..

I think the RL is pretty strict about full blooded shots to the head, whether deliberate or not. (If deliberate, it would be a very long ban.) It's the player's responsibility to take care.

I agree,but it was an accident as he was swung round in the tackle and was absolutely unavoidable.

It was a 50:50 decision between a sin bin or red and to say it ruined the match, well what a ridiculous comment.

Two good semi finals this weekend.
RL not an easy game to referee but, in my view, a yellow card not a red.
Despite being down to 12 men, Wigan put in a good display.

No it isnt a ridiculous comment Winstone,it ruined the game from Wigans point of view,it was always going to be a hard task after he sent him off ..The game itself was a great game..
Looking forward to a great final though

It was a ridiculous comment because as you say, it was a great game.
Wigan had plenty of opportunities to win but Hull KR just shaded it- an awesome challenge cup weekend.
