NO PROBLEM :lol:
Just a shame we had to do a number on Kingy.
About to settle down to hunting a live stream for one of the 'other' 1/4 finals.
Skints kick off at midnight & t'others 30 after.
I'm told the draw for the semis is at the conclusion of the Leeds match.

Wigan Warriors beat Leeds 28-18
Lots of controversy with at least 2 of wigans trys awarded but have been said to be forward and a knock on
Sam Tomkins could be in big trouble after giving the finger (or two the english way) after wigans second try


But the best thing to happen was JEFF LIMA was awarded the the Todd Lance Trophy (clive churchal medel) after getting two trys in the final

Go wigan

Congratulations to the Wigan Storm (sorry Warriors). (Well Lima, Hoffy, Finchy and Ben Cross are all at Wigan as is Madge).

Great effort by Jeff, he had only scored one try for the season before the final. So to score two tries in the Challenge Cup final is an awesome effort.

Congrats Ratty.
