Get our predictions for the Final, plus first try scorers and Lance Todd Trophy winner too...

The band is back together again to look back on the first week of the Super 8s, tickets for Wembley and Wigan's new coaches....

Highlights from the K-COM Stadium in Hull as the hosts met Wakefield in the opening round of the Super 8s. Recent history suggested that the Black and Whites should be weary, having lost by a massive 72 - 10 scoreline at Trinity a few weeks ago.



in this contest where quality was in short supply we saw Wakefield's second half of the season form continue as they came back into the contest in a much-livelier second half, despite FC's try midway through the second period.



Wakefield will take this win into their meeting with St. Helens next weekend, while Hull travel to Super League's definitive form side Huddersfield - who beat Saints while this game was underway.



Final score:



Hull FC 13 - 31 Wakefield Trinity

After a busy weekend of Rugby League, we're back, and so is Schoey as we discuss the great performance from Catalans Dragons to make it to the Challenge Cup Final. They'll meet Warrington at Wembley as they dispatched a lackluster Leeds side, but it's not all doom and gloom for the Rhinos, as the women won the Challenge Cup against Castleford, and Bradford won the Shield over Stanningley, we talk where is next for the women's game and much, much more as we're in quite a positive mood...

More live Rugby League commentary on Proper Sport, and once again we were live from the John Smith's Stadium, home of one of the form teams in the competition, Huddersfield Giants. Visitors Wakefield Trinity, another side who confirmed their Super 8s spot and Super League survival last weekend, were entering the contest having taken Hull FC apart last weekend, but knocking a Huddersfield side who beat Cas Tigers away last Friday evening would prove too much of an ask...



Giants raced into a two try lead before Wakefield got themselves going. However, the game was arguably beyond them before the close of the first half as the 30 - 10 scoreline looked daunting.



Despite three late converted tries for Wakfefield, this game belonged to Huddersfield, who continue the remarkable honeymoon period under Simon Woolford. Their sixth win in seven to close out the regular season will perhaps bring them out of the shadows even more, they really are flying. Jermaine McGilvary was again a hot shot performer with a hat-trick, but Danny Brough was excellent too, with precise kicking to finish 6/7



Final score: Huddersfield Giants 40- 28 Wakefield Trinity
