Coral Challenge Cup 5th Round: Thatto Heath and Workington featured

Leeds Rhinos are ripe for an upset. The 11-time Super League champions are rock-bottom of the top-flight and shipping tries for fun. They’ve got 278 points in the negative column already.

Could that let in League 1 side Workington? Leon Pryce’s men have every chance. But they’ll need to tighten up their own defence after conceding 30+ points against London Skolars and Newcastle.

Elliott Miller, Tyllar Mellor and Carl Forber are the men to keep an eye on for the hosts, although it’s the clash between brothers Perry and Brad Singleton which provides the narrative ahead of this one.

The pair will line-up on opposing sides, with Workington’s Perry hoping to get the better of Leeds and Ireland prop Brad.

Home comforts for Halifax v London?

The tightest match of round five comes from The Shay, as Halifax host Super League new boys London Broncos. The pair are no strangers to each other having met 10 times in the last four years.

Broncos have tended to dominate in recent times with four wins in their last five meetings. But Richard Marshall’s side can call upon a decent enough home record against their opponents.

Fax have won three of their last four against Broncos at The Shay, including a 26-16 win almost exactly 12 months ago. Ed Barber will be pivotal to their hopes on Sunday.

The 28-year-old second-row has been in fine form this term and bagged a hat-trick of tries against Dewsbury last month. Summer signing from Castleford Quentin Laulu-Togaga’e is also a threat.
