A good weekend for RL : Sun Jul 23, 2023 7:03 pm  

Obviously would have preferred todays game to go the other way, but well done Rovers...

But a good weekend for the game, two very tight games with a blockbuster finish, can only hope all the potential broadcasters were watching.

And for once some good venue choices, smaller grounds nearer the teams the way forward, the double header concept of recent years should be dead now.

Seems that the achievements of both teams has been overshadowed by refereeing decisions.

Let’s hope this isn’t the case with the cup final.

Absolutely a good weekend for RL even if I can't bring myself to like Leigh (sorry it's the Derek/Leopard love in thing it's cringey AF! )

The sooner the Saints/Wigan/Leeds domination of the past 30 years is over the better. We need a competitive SL and new names on trophies. Might help rein in some of the entitled attitudes from certain sets of RL fans/owners if they know the game is not all about their clubs. We can but hope.

Good luck Leigh & KR in the final and appreciate the fact your first major CC Final in decades isn't during COVID times!

Obviously disappointed that Wigan didn't win the game, but yes it will be great for the game to see a new winner and hopefully they can keep it up and push for more finals.
