What a long and winding Cup year that was for Leeds - 7 ties and still no appearance at Wembley



Swinton (prelim) 30-8
Halifax (a) 24-4 (great win in a year in which Halifax won the title)
Doncaster (away tie but switched to home, 28-10)
Widnes (a) 10-10
Widnes (H, replay) 5-0
HKR (Ell. Rd) 24-24
HKR (replay Ell.Rd) 0-17

Shows just how poor the Super League sides are this year. Huddersfield beaten by Swinton at home for gods sake. Toronto close at Salford. Hull KR winning at Leigh. This wouldn't have happened two years ago, not even close. Good to see lower teams winning, but still such a poor top division.

TBF Salford played for 50 mins with 12 men so probably would've won more comfortably. Leigh vs HKR were in opposite leagues last year and HKR played their reserves on Monday vs Toulouse to save themselves for this game.

considering a lot of the giants recruitment was from Bradford, a bang average championship side, is it a shock?
not seen the leigh side but surely their aim has to be SL survival.
and Toronto are as good as top championship sides easily

Swinton beating Hudds is a massive shock.

Hull KR and Leigh are around same level so a win for the side full of confidence is no surprise and like Tad says, Toronto have a championship squad although i didn't expect them to push a top 4 SL team so close away from home.

Look on the bright side.....our bogey side have thrown a seven. On the flip side, they will be desperate to kick start their season on Thursday.
