#137: Have Wigan Silenced the Doubters? Hull KR Look Unstoppable + Sam Burgess fires a shot at referees

In this week’s episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and Host Jake Kearnan break down all the action from the Challenge Cup Semi Finals, including Wigan Warriors’ huge victory over St Helens and Hull KR’s convincing win against Warrington Wolves.

They discuss whether Wigan have silenced their critics after their dominant performance, and ask the big question — can anyone stop Hull KR from winning the Super League title this season?

The pair also debate Sam Burgess’ controversial comments surrounding the use of the video referee system, and whether match officials should face the media to explain major decisions after games.

Elsewhere, they discuss whether Hull KR fans should be concerned about Willie Peters potentially taking players with him to the PNG Chiefs, as well as the latest developments in the ongoing NRL and Super League talks during the NRL’s Magic Round.

The episode also covers London Broncos’ new Australian investor Andrew Gray, the New Zealand Warriors allowing Luke Metcalfe to negotiate with rival clubs, and the debut of Phillip Coates, younger brother of Xavier Coates, for the Brisbane Broncos.

To round things off, Martyn and Jake preview this weekend’s Super League fixtures and the key storylines to watch.
