judging by this weekends results, super league is no more competitive than it was 10 years ago, the bigger.stronger teams are still racking up big scores.
widnes look very poor but thats to be expected, the thrashings that established clubs like hull kr,london,cas,wakefield are more worrying.

Harsh on KR, they've got some rough injuries and so far pushed leeds, drew with saints and won away at wakefield. London have only been "thrashed" once from Wire, who have that ability to thrash anyone on any given day, as do Wigan. |

Thank god my team Fax were never in with a shout of getting in to SL. No chance of ever competing near the top of the table, getting hammered every week, im very thankful that i get to see my team compete for trophies and not just make up the numbers like Widnes, Lonquinns, Wakey, Salford, Bradford and the 2 Hull teams.

sorry, i was referrring to this weekends results.
thats the point though,the idea of having a competitive league is that thrashings are a rare thing not something we should expect week in week out. |

Going on last year's standings, it was 3rd vs 6th. Crazy turnaround, but if that is what we're calling a shock result, it's worrying.
Some teams will always be better than others, but the gap looks problematically big to me at the moment.
I said last week that I didn't think cutting SL to 12, and certainly 10 teams, was a good idea. People say there isn't enough talent to go around, but in this context it is about how evenly it is distributed, not the total amount. We have a salary cap, I'm not sure anything more can be done. Still the talent clusters at a handful of clubs. |

What about Salford beating FC, now that was a shock nd it cost me a few quid, but well played Salford. |

| Quote wirethunder="wirethunder"I could understand them getting all giddy when they finally acquired a SL licence after being rejected time after time after time and being told 'thanks,but no thanks' so often.
However...
Some of the things they were coming out with were ridiculous like 'let's go for the play-offs' and 'we'll beat Warrington,they are feared' etc, and these sort of soundbites are coming back to haunt them.When even the 2 other weakest sides in the comp in Wakefield and Salford can see them off with ease on their own patch it shows they are miles out of their depth and they won't even be challenging them,let alone the top sides like Wire.
And they are already turning on Betts. He's a quality coach but even a world class one wouldn't get this current Widnes side any higher.
Widnes Vikings are the weakest side to EVER play in SL and shouldn't be there. Scoreboard operators throughout the country are going to be rushed off their feet when ever they are in town.
They should have their SL licence revoked with immediate effect and be sent back to the Co-operative championship NOW. They've become an embarrassment.'"

Shock is pushing it, IMO. A little bit of a surprise, but Hull FC were bottom half of the table last year and Salford were at home. |

Definitely a shock to me (especially in the pocket), but fair play to them. |
