Well there was huge criticism of this new system with people on here saying that the gulf between SL and the Championship was so great that the Middle 8's would be a complete mismatch. After the three results yesterday, where the SL (each on their own paddocks) beat the Championship by a grand total of one point over three games, then only an idiot would be saying the same now (mind you, we have plenty of those!).

Whoever finishes in the bottom 4 of SL this season will rightly be worried and its by no means certain that the so-called million pound match will even be contested by a SL side and a Championship side. Frankly, it's a breath of fresh air to the game.

Jamie Peacock got it right after Leigh beat Salford. Leigh have to play 10 out of 10 most games when in SL but only every so often in the championship. Can they consistently perform week in week out.

Leigh did not play that well,when they played Salford and won.On Sunday they only played anything like they can for 40 minutes and won.There no teams in SL playing consistently,so the argument that Leigh have to perform week in week out doesn't stack up.Hull KR got hammered 60 Nil was it at Wigan and then beat them the cup.

Who did Wigan get in the quarter final draw?

Oh my aching sides!


You're nearly as funny as, well, Bruce Forsyth.

Qtr final games scheduled as followed

Thursday June 25 – Hull Kingston Rovers v Catalans Dragons (Sky Sports, 8.00pm kick-off)

Friday June 26 – Hull FC v Leeds Rhinos (Sky Sports, 8.00pm kick-off)

Saturday June 27 – Warrington Wolves v Leigh Centurions (BBC One, 3.00pm kick-off)

Sunday June 28 - St Helens v Widnes Vikings (BBC Two, 4.00pm kick-off).

Disappointing, the best two games are on sky.

You might be disappointed but i am very pleased 4 good games to watch bring it on

I just think it is great that all four games are televised. Hopefully Leigh's success will tempt Sky to show more of the early rounds too.

It would be nice if the home teams turned up the marketing and lowered ticket prices to try and get these games played in as full stadiums as possible. Something like what Salford did in their game last night.

Games on BBC are a brilliant chance to attract new fans that might not otherwise see or hear about our game, and seeing whole stands closed as was the case in saints game in the last round won't help to get them interested

I am pleased to inform that all four stands will be open at Langtree Park this round. However, the prices are similar to a normal league game. It is Saints' first Sunday afternoon home game in God knows how long, could result in a shocking crowd if they don't market it.

10 and 5 quid tickets for our QF against cats

Warrington are charging up to £30 for the Leigh game. Admittedly there are advance purchase offers available.

£15 standing and £18 sitting is pretty good i think and alot cheaper than league games
