Time to revisit the idea of kicking off evening games at 7.45. Especially if they are on telly with video ref decisions likely to make it a longer game than normal.

I agree that SL is going backwards, or at least the top leagues are

But, comparing the all blacks to SL is not really fair, I would say the skills in SL match those in the RFU Premiership and Id bet the Kagaroos have more skillfull back than the all blacks

I'd agree with that, although I think Bernard Foley would make a great RL HB.

I wasn't, i was comparing the quality of the last two league internationals i saw vs the AB lions test, the comment about super league is self evident, not only on this board but other forums,
Agree that the kangaroos are the equivalent of the Ab s in terms of dominance and ability, i love RL and always big it up union mates who don't really pay it much attention but by the same token they don't tend to look down their noses at it like a fair few league fans do, you know the ones who call it yawnion or kick n clap,
both games can be a joy to watch played by committed skilful teams, hope the lions can square the series, not good for any team to be too dominant in any sport (unless its us )
