This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif
The lack of depth of talent in the player pool in the UK means there's always going to be a substantial drop-off once you take the top 250-300 players out of the equation. So the standard and intensity of the Championship is never going to be as high as it is in SL, in the same way as any other sport has a fall in standard between its top division and the next one down.
The likelihood is though, that Leigh will get one more chance in the 4th/5th place play-off at the end of the Qualifiers. Then you're into the realms of a refereeing decision, bounce of a ball or player error being the difference between being promoted and not.
Just watched one of those high intense games OZWelsh was talking about this morning. Warriors v Cowboys. Was a cracker with the result in the balance until the last minute.

Don't try and discredit me.
You know, as do most that across the board the RL is more intense than SL. Many in Aus. say that SL is the equivalent of the QLD Cup, they're not far wrong seeing that T McCarthy was playing Q Cup last year.
Obv. not all NRL matches are going to be v intense, esp. when N QLD knew that they could beat this Warriors side playing in second gear; no Johnson, Townsend, Leuluai.
