Exactly, all that matters in the challenge cup is the win. Once we had the game in the bag we rightly rested McGuire and Watkins and gave good minutes to those who needed them.
The only negative of the game was Josh Walters. He looked completely out of his depth against part time players in the pack and somehow managed to play worse when out wide.

Which Leeds player was put on report in the 1st half ?

When is draw for next round? Really hoping for Cas away next round. Need to right a few wrongs with some lads.

This coming Tuesday 6-30pm on regional BBC channels. Joynt & Senior pulling out the hot and cold balls

Either Castleford or Catalan, we always have double games in the cup & league normally.......

The game is the weekend after England vs Samoa so could be doubts on whether England players feature. If that was the case then pointless to play Cas away as even a win would be dismissed as no Gale, Hardaker, McMeeken for them (are their Samoans playing the international?). With another Friday & Monday double lined up for the week after Magic then the smart thought would be lower league again and rest a couple. Preferably the winner of York/Barrow or Dewsbury/Batley, Whitehaven/Halifax

A wins a win. No time for excuses on missing players. The more missing the better, bigger score.

I know what your saying, but I haven't seen Leeds go for the jugular for a long while now.

Seem to get in front then coast, rather than run up the score.

And we could be missing Hall & Watkins.

We have them a week later at Magic weekend, can right any wrongs there if you want then and also play them at home and the Super 8's and potentially playoffs or later in the cup.

64-28 doesn't look too bad now...

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.
