Wigan Warriors and Wakefield Trinity were both comfortable winners in the Challenge Cup third round, with two other Super League teams - Bradford Bulls and Catalans Dragons - also going through.
The Warriors scored 15 tries to beat the hapless Rochdale Hornets 83-0, while Trinity ran in one fewer in a 82-6 mauling of the Swinton Lions.
The Bulls secured their first win under new coach Kurt Haggerty, defeating London Broncos 26-8 at Plough Lane, and the Dragons scored 10 tries in a 56-4 demolition of Batley Bulldogs.
Goole Vikings, who were only formed in 2018, defeated fellow Championship side Halifax Panthers 18-14 at The Shay.
Tries from Nick Staveley, Oli Morgan and Keenen Tomlinson proved enough as the Panthers failed to score in the second half.

Zach Eckersley scored four tries and Jake Wardle three as the Warriors, last year's Super League runners-up, easily despatched the Hornets.
Wakefield showed no mercy in their victory either, with Max Jowitt, Matthew Storton and Josh Rourke sharing seven tries between them against the Lions.
Batley were overwhelmed by Catalans, conceding within the first 17 seconds before the visitors ran in a further nine tries.
Elsewhere, Oldham easily defeated Dewsbury Rams 46-0 and Keighley Cougars edged a low-scoring encounter against Midlands Hurricanes 18-14.
The draw for the fourth round will take place on Monday, 9 February, with live coverage on BBC Radio Manchester from 18:40 GMT.
