Catalans coming back from 0-26 down to beat Bradford then an absolute humdinger at Headlingly where Saints came through.

Great stuff.

I'd written that Catalans match off, and spent the time listening to the Toytown Cup Final instead, before suddenly noticing that they'd finally scored a couple of tries. What a come-back. And Cas are through too. Pity about St. Helens...

I only saw brief highlights. Did Bradford wilt in the heat or something? It looked pretty warm.

We've had the semis now, and the twin red-and-white Lancastrian Evil are out. Warrington versus Huddersfield. Bring back Eddie Waring...

This sport is on Sky a lot. After football and "teams of writers" American dramas, it probably contributes most to the cost of what I pay. And I only want the sodding cricket.

More of it on terrestrial than the cricket then.

I quite like Rugby League from what I remember of it on the BBC with Ray French commentating, but I can't afford to get into another sport.

Come on the Wolves.

I couldn't bear the sight of Ken Davy's Mr Burns head on the balcony of Huddersfield town hall waving to the couple of thousand who rattle around the stadium he stole from us for his beloved Fartown-Sheffield bastard creation.

Ray French Steps Down

I've liked old Ray over the years, a real old flat cap, I know he has many critics but he's been a good champion of the game. Dave Woods will cover the final

Anyone else watching the first final without one of the "big four" since the one I went to back in '86?

Why would he be happy, GO, as Huddersfield lost?

Does he have a problem with RL in his home town?

The owner of HTFC was also the owner of the RFL team, and basically bought the football club when in administration in order to get his hands on the shares the club owned in the stadium management company. As a result, he got complete control of the stadium and didn't given much of a fuck about the football.
