This weekend:

Bottom of the league beating 4th.
10th beating 3rd.
8th beating 2nd.

Not bad for a league that should supposedly be reduced because there are too many one sided games?

That's because here at the Vikings we only bother performing against proper, top sides like Wigan and Hudds. Games against 'big time' wannabees like wire we just treat like conditioning sessions.

One swallow does not a summer make. There are still only 5 teams with a realistic chance of getting to the Grand Final

and they are Wigan, Warrington and err...

Only one team of the top 8 (before today) won. It'll be a while before that happens again.

Hull KR were already in the top 8 so it was two teams in the top 8 before this round of fixtures

True. Top 7 then

Saints, Hudds and Leeds. There may well be a big gap in terms of the points in the final league table but that counts for diddly squat in the play-offs as we all know. Wigan and Wire will be the bookies pick for the GF but those other three teams will all have a say in it

ONLY 5 teams with a realistic chance? I'd say thats a high number. Compare that to the super dooper NRL and i'd say only 1 team looks like winning it at the moment. Yes the gap between the top and bottom is big. But that happens in every league in every sport in the world.

There's a distinct lack of competition between the top team and the bottom 13

Well, 5 teams in with a chance? Now I'm no sucker of Super League's cock but that's a vast improvement from the dominant days of Wigan and lately, Leeds. Now, Wigan are still there obviously but Leeds are now lost around 8th spot wondering where the frig they are. Catalans in third? Merde. That's refreshing aint it? Warrington have begun their annual kamikazi dive - this time into the Humber Harbour. So, it's all in the melting pot.



And the crowning pair of turds in this thread's pipe comes from Widnes. The first log - they didn't concede thirty points. But the second is a u-bend filler. They won!!!! Beat Huddersfield!!!

This thread should be thrown out of court.

Aye, too many blow out scores this weekend. These teams shouldn't be in Super League.
It has to have been the most unpredictable weekend in SL history.
Well done to Widnes and Salford and of course the Mighty Trin.
It will probably be business as usual next weekend, but there will have been a few handicap coupons struggling this weekend.

Competitions good in SL compared to other leagues/sports. But I'd like to see less blow out games. Too many high scoring games over course of season, one team seems to be able to dominate the ruck and blast the other team away in a lot of games. Not sure if it's the quality of reffing or defending that's the problem.
