| Quote littlerich="littlerich"Who is Starbug?
I don't disagree about the Championship defences - we are where we are. However, i laugh at those on here that showed the snobbery towards the typical championship scoreline from their SL ivory tower. So, what HAS happened to SL defences? is it because "they're crap" like Championship clubs or are we going to have a new spin?'"
They are just living in ivory towers, and they won't even see your point now. |

Irrespective of the actual defences issue, I have very very rarely seen any posts critcising Championship games. The vast majority seem to really enjoy them and give credit to what they watch.
On the other hand, the number of bitter posts/threads about 'Super Duper League' or 'Shooper League' defences is ridiculous and tbh I wonder whether most people on here actually like the game of RL.
Sometimes I wish more of our fans just went and watched something else tbh.

Still better entertainment to be 30-28 than 2-0, but generally I understand your point in terms of 60+ point games.

The 38-30 win for Widnes was an exciting game today.I do think we can improve our defence and improve as the season progresses.

There does seem to be a lot of high scores so far this season compared to last season, but compared to last season it is incredibly similar. This season 11 scores 39+ last season was 9, this season 4 scores 49+ and 1 60+ score this season and last season. 2010 had half the number of 39+ scores but 2009 had similar figures to this season.
So the number of heavy score-lines are fairly typical and not a recent trend. |

We can't win. If the scores are low people complain about skill being driven out of the game due to defences. If the scores are too high people complain about the defences and ten metres etc. It's an endlessly monotonous discussion. Complaining after this weekend is nonsense seeing as TV served up two belters and the other results showed that competition is very healthy in this sport.

Sunny, warm day = more points.
Although Cas' defence has been championship standard since about 2000.

We should reduce the try back to 3 points with 1 for a conversion and 2 for a drop goal. That would keep the scores down. |

So, we're all agreed then - high scorelines donta matter - everything is alright.
Super.
FWIW I find high scoring matches exciting. Tight matches too can be absorbing.
I'll bank this thread and regurgitate it like a budgie the next time a Championship match gets bagged for such scorelines.

I would also be looking at introducing two extra forwards. |
