Batley in with a shout for the Super league?

Leigh vs Batley on Premier Sports 1 from 17:45.

On another note, Penrith blew away the Eels to take back to back NRL grand final wins.

I never get to watch the NRL, I should make more of an effort to but its never on at a good time.

Leigh should be favourites for it but you never know, would like Batley to sneak it!

A great start to England's RLWC campaign against a Samoan team with a fair share of talent and experience.

Really pleased I got myself into Rugby League - enjoying the Cook Islands V Wales game right now.

Good game that, Wales were gassed in the second half and had some criminal ball handling errors.

So err Leigh Centurions have had a name change to Leigh Leopards to celebrate coming back up to the super league, great name for an U8s team, not so sure on a SL team name, kit looks minging too

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Getting trolled by every RL account for it too, nice work Barrow

Tremendous first 30 minutes from England vs PNG yesterday. Well deserved win and on to the semi at The Emirates on Saturday. The Kiwis looked less than convincing in their QF win over Fiji.

Special mention to England's women WC side too.

Looking forward to being at Old Trafford on 19 November.

World club challenge is a cracking match

Keep watching, the mango derby's on...

Notice it is being played at Noosa rather than at Suncorp.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And it’s another very good match

Off to see a game tomorrow. Local Toowoomba team which is basically second tier feeder team for the Bulldogs are playing Papua New Guinea. Really looking forward to it.

Sounds ace, not a particular fan of League, prefer Union but a chance round see top quality sport live and up close is always exciting.

Really enjoyed it. PNG Hunters were a very good side. At least two of their number were easily NRL standard.

Colossal downpour before kickoff. Insane amount of water fell from the sky in about ten minutes.
