## Resource

The Hot Recap crew are back for a Sunday night recap episode as we bring you all the key points from Challenge Cup's Quarter Finals and the NRL's Round 6. In the cup, we talk through the much-anticipated clash between Wakefield and Wigan, the second clash in two weeks between Leigh and Warrington, Catalans trip to St Helens with Joel Tomkins set to depart and Hull KR's lay up against York Knights on Saturday. We also chat through the ongoing chaos at Hull FC as they plot their next coaching move and check in on the Championship as the financial wheel of misfortune arrives at North Wales Crusaders. We'll be back next week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
