Widnes, a club who are two places out of the super league play-offs, only managed a 14 point victory against Doncaster, who didn't have their dual registration players available and are bottom of the championship looking at relegation to championship 1. Is the difference in playing standard between top championship clubs and bottom super league clubs really that big? Could promotion and relegation be brought back in? Will be interesting to see how fev get on in London.

Sounds like a great performance from Doncaster! Whilst a big score line, Leigh put in a commendable performance at the JJB with three tries disallowed. They have put bigger scores on SL clubs already this year, and without doubt will again. Big games for Rovers today and Batley tomorrow!

All SL teams should have to play away in the 4th round.

Pretty much every Wigan fan I've spoke to wishes lasts nights game was at LSV.

They'd still have won confortably, but there would have been a bigger crowd and a closet game.

If fev v London was at fev I'd make them favourites.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



One off games are no indication of the gap between the 2 competitions

No surprise.

Widnes were mid table mediocrity at best when they were in the championship.

Good job being good on the field is irrelevant in licensing

Widnes did not have Hanbury,Marsh,Dean,Phelps,Cross,O Carroll,Hock,Allen,and Cahill who be in the starting 17 if all fit and some rested.Widnes did not play there best and the win was never in doubt.Even Betts was upset with the performance and commitment.I think it was more of Doncaster raising their game as even their fans said best performance of the season by them.So your opinion I do not agree with to be honest.

The effort Doncaster put in could knacker them for the next game and it is a one off cup final for them.As I said Widnes played coasting to win.

Its a cup final for one and a nothing game for the other

Get a good home crowd behind the lesser team, mixed with a little emotion, some luck and you may get an upset one in ten.

Other than that there is a huge gulf, particularly if it was week in week out.

Quite right Wire Quin but, there will be some sqeaky backsides when they play Fev !

Take one or two players out of the lesser SL clubs and theres not much difference between SL and Championship teams. For instance take Chase out of Cas and Cas are probably on par with a mid to top end championship team.

This game will be close as Featherstone will give their all in this game.

I'm sorry but that's just wrong, when we were in nl1 both times our squad was far worse than atm, and we won the league both times. I watch the championship and its hardly got any better in standard if at all since 05 and 07

London have just defeated Featherstone Rovers 24-12 (5 tries to 3).

London area local prodigy Kieran Dixon scored a brace, as did Luke Dorn.

This is without doubt the low point of your trolling, truly dreadful
