Other than Leeds trouncing Wakefield and the heartlands Leigh Academy beating a midlands school by 2 points who had never played a game of rugby league before, has there been any other notable scores?

Championship side Bradford Bulls beat Castleford Tigers on boxing day.

Castleford's side similar to the Wakefield squad was fairly youthful and the fixture was used more to have a run out and blow the cobwebs off.

Halifax beat Hull FC 18-10 yesterday. Not sure on Halifax's full line up but Hull fielded a largely reserve and trialist side, though kelly and griffin featured for a while, as did savellio and naulago.
Attendance 1700 odd

Nasty looking leg injury to Kavanagh of Halifax, best wishes to him

Really, they only trained this weekend, as my wife's nephew plays for them. (I assume to mean Leigh & Wigan College Academy) which is based at the LSV. Their last game was on 18 December, when they defeated Runshaw College 70-0.
You have now resorted to telling lies....how sad.

To be fair, Wigan Education Academy (ie college lads) beat Runshaw by a similar score, with both coaches and the ref agreeing to call full time 15 minutes early because the game was completely uncompetitive.

How did TW academy go on? Oh hang on...............

Very good, but what was really being pointed out is that Stephanie Curry was telling lies, such is his obsession with Leigh & Wakefield. And before you tell any more lies about Leigh Mrs Vindaloo, the town is not opening up another 'Pound Bakery' one is enough thanks.

Still not downladed grammarly yet Stephanie? Ask your daughters for help in identifying when and where to use the correct punctuation marks if need be.

Fair enough, glad the Midlands are making good progress if they have pushed Leigh academy close. Hard to judge much from a friendly, particularly as Leigh academy presumably haven't played together much, if at all.

They didn't play any team from the midlands last weekend, only in Mrs Currys dreams did that happen.

Just re-read, misunderstood! The Wigan and Leigh game v Runshaw was the same one I was talking about

It's a bit random using a college team as a reflection of the Championship team; Furness academy have been great for years but it's not stopped Barrow getting relegated.

Exactly, quite a sad individual.

Well done Stephanie, you're better at using google than me.

Congratulations!

At least he got his nightly material sorted out.

To be fair, you made it sound like it happened last weekend, and as I stated none of the Leigh teams had a game. It actually happened in mid December, and it was the Leigh & Wigan college U-16 team that played Mercian, not the Centurions U-17 academy one. The Tommy Sale Youth Foundation, runs 2 teams.....a college one for students only, and an 'open invitation' one for any players aged 16 and 17. Though you already knew that didn't you ?

You should have given him a bit more rope before kicking the stool away

The Leeds vs Bradford friendly on Sunday has sold out and will live on sky.

Burrow, Sinfield, Peacock, and Fielden will all play.

This game is a friendly and is a sell out, it is also been shown live on tv, it could possibly be the biggest gate attendance of the season league wise, I have never known anything like this ever in rugby league, I think it will be very emotional and it’s for a fantastic cause, congratulations to the best supporters in any sport, RUGBY LEAGUE ITS MORE THAN JUST A GAME

Well looks like the thread is back on track after all the predictable bickering so we have these in addition to the leeds game. wakey fielding a pretty strong side v hull kr who look like fielding a lot of their new signings (and there are a lot). also hull fc in action at the unusual venue of brantingham park v london broncos (RL ground anoraks might like to tick this ground for their list). both teams may be somewhat under strength

any more this weekend?

Salford v Leigh

Huddersfield v Halifax

Jermaine McGilvary's testimonial match, with the news surrounding the leeds legend's terrible news all others seem to have been pushed under the radar really which is good for awareness and media coverage etc but not that good for those who are trying to entice people to other games.
