Lew on League (An occasional RL blog by my dad)
ByAs expected Leeds blew their French opponents away in their cup game. The score was 70-0. There were two unexpected results. Hull beat Bradford narrowly at Hull. Though Hull were ahead by 20 points at one stage a powerful second half performance saw Bradford come to within 2 points of the home side before the final whistle saved Hull. Salford although on their home ground, were well beaten by a very lively London Broncos. In the quarter finals to be played on the weekend ending 26 June, Leeds are home to London and St Helens are home to Wigan. The other games are Hull v Leigh and Toulouse v Widnes. Next Friday Leeds play away at Leigh.

So LOL — do you think London or Wigan have a chance of defeating their opponents, or are we just headed for a Saints v Leeds final? And what’s going on with St Helens and their coach? What do your spies tell you?

We could be meeting Saints in the semis for that matter or Hull could knock one of us out of the semis. As for Millward the word on the streets (or is in the stadiums is: Millward has been warned about swearing in public & before the press but this time he went too far. He was at Warrington & he decided that the Warrington PR lady had not given him adequate room for the press conference after the game. He insulted her and swore at her. He did apologise by phone later. However, worse was that he met up with her at a later date at St Helens and physically pushed her out of the room. The Rugby League Express says that he is certain to be on his way out of St Helens. I can’t see any other club in England taking him on.
