I've enjoyed both of the televised games this weekend. In recent times it seemed as though some of the passion had gone from Challenge Cup games but both of these ties had it in abundance. Ok there was the poor discipline aspect in today's game but I do enjoy a bit of biff.

I was disappointed for Rugby League after todays' match to be honest.
I didn't think it was a good advert for the game.
They're meant to be professionals.
Chris Hills' comments during the match were spot on - but maybe weren't best said!

Great game. Loads of biff.

The same Chris Hill who ignored the refs comments and went looking for more of a fight under the posts. Yes very professional of him. Wire were just smarter about their lack of discipline. They just made sure there punches were in the middle of a 20 man mele.

the same Chris hill who after that fight, which was started needlessly by Toronto, then calmed down and didn't get involved in anything else. whilst Toronto kept holding down, kept high tackling, kept high ting and kept mouthing off at the ref.

The same Chris hill?

Isn't that the epitome of being "professional" being smarter about a lack of discipline doesn't make much sense as a statement? Yesterday's game was a bit bizarre and Toronto might have been better served sticking to playing rugby rather than trying to bully us,

We are hardly a team of shrinking violets and i'm pleased that the team took the challenge

So apparently we displayed a disciplined 'lack of discipline' - brilliant! Seems a lot of Saints fans are getting a bit edgy about us and our form. Of course they won't admit this - we've beaten nobody (including two teams they've lost to) and they've got the greatest player EVER to play the game (Barba not Grace in case you get confused).

Wilkin was being a blurt on TV as well, moaning about Charnley's showboating and then backtracking when Noble and Betts said it was entertaining - if Barba had done that Wilkin would've shook him firmly by the John Thomas.

Quite noticeable how uppity some of the saints fans have been since the match finished yesterday.

The behaviour of your 'fans' at yesterdays draw was nothing short of a major embarrassment to yourselves, your club and to RL in general.

You certainly shown yourselves up.

So rowdy and gobby even Woods and Paul couldn't be heard and had to tell you to shut up.

Can i just remind you, you're on a warning for this sort of crap. Please calm yourself down, or you're gonna get josh mccrone'd

I've got your back FMC.

Typical troll behaviour from you.

All cup draws with fans in attendance are like that in any sport.

Anyone know the attendance?

6507

interesting, i heard 6538 at the ground yesterday.

Something that did not impress me yesterday was the announcers songs and sound effects.....let the game speak for itself and dont mock your opponents

Yes. I don't care for that mocking.
I thought it cheap and not at all respectful or amusing.

Not the first time we've heard the 'our survey said' buzzer for a missed kick in a game, was it used against Salford? It was a bit cheeky and quite funny the first time, but, once is enough as it's not very professional and should be consigned to a missed kick in the cross bar challenge.

Yep, agreed. There was a viral video going around a couple of weeks ago from the Donny/Bradford game, with the Donny player celebrating too soon and getting tackled in-goal, and the build up to that 'try' with the inside ball was excellent. We were one of the culprits of being very one-dimensional in recent years but we're coming away from that a bit, particularly with Livett's 2nd and 3rd tries away to Leeds. His hat-trick try i will never get bored of watching.

You really need to watch that again.

Just watched the highlights back. McCrone came across like an absolute nugget when Thaler called him over, and deserved to go. He seemed.to think that just by ending every sentence with 'sir' he could constantly interupt him and mouth off at him.

Wrong way round

That’s fantastic hearing Mr C, that you can hear crowd numbers down to the exact figure... you should go on BGT - it’s such a unique talent!

If FMC goes he should take karetaker with him

...get me a ticket to watch that.
