Re: Rugby League: Super League XIV, Challenge Cup Semi Finals & Co-op Champs One for me in tomorrow's semi... Huddersfield (+10) to beat St Helens @ 4/5 (Ladbrokes) 3/5 I seem to say the same things about Huddersfield over most of the rounds so won't bore people by saying them again. Basically speaking, this Huddersfield outfit have been consistently underpriced away from home all season and they could very well be again here. Danny Sculthorpe is cup-tied for them but they'll welcome back Paul Whatuira tomorrow afternoon. Saints also have Sean Long and Kieron Cunningham back tomorrow and no doubt have the better 'big-game' form, but I'm gonna take a chance on Huddersfield keeping within the 10 tomorrow and continuing their good form away from the Galpharm. It's also worth noting Saints were trounced 38-18 by Wigan in their only other game on neutral ground this season so here's hoping! Either way, it should be a cracker and may also be worth keeping an eye on with the possibility of these two meeting in the play-offs later this season. GL all :hope :ok

Re: Rugby League: Super League XIV, Challenge Cup Semi Finals & Co-op Champs Good work Lee. Never in any doubt either. Could be an excellent final even without Saints/Leeds in it.

Re: Rugby League: Super League XIV, Challenge Cup Semi Finals & Co-op Champs Cheers Kev. Like you say should be a great final and you can't really split the two sides. Barring an injury crisis, looks like the line's going to be 2/4 tops. Huddersfield and KR have been consistent winners for me this season so might even have a little tinkle on them EW in the Grand Final.
