Don't know what the big deal is?
I think Super League is great this year.

If Leeds and Saints are the best then they should get to the Grand Final and I'll enjoy watching them again. If it's someone else I'll probably support the under dog (assuming Wakefield aren't the other team of course?!!!?!)

I wouldn't mind.

Just a question for those bemoaning the lack of 'good' games this year. What in your eyes constitutes a 'good' game? A free-scoring pointsfest? In other words, 2 teams with woeful defences?

Fact is the league has become more competitive, and coaches are having to earn their corn a hell of a lot more than they used to. If it has led to a supposed drop in quality, so be it. The long-term rewards will be of more comfort to supporters than hoping to see the occasional 42-38 scoreline.

And in response to the OP, yes. Even though my team don't seem to be doing all that well, i can live with it.

It's the competition you applied to join last spring





And in asnwer to Damo: yes

Leeds and Saints have took over Wigan for the last two years. In fact apart from Bradford Bulls one off in 2005 its been Leeds Rhinos and St Helens all the way!

there have been no classic super league games this season because of the top 8 play off system.it has watered down the competetiveness of super league.as a wigan poster stated earlier in the thread,they have had average seasons but have stepped up to the mark at the play off stage.
the super league season is just a long warm up to the play offs.for that reason i am not happy with sl at the moment.bring back the top 5

Happy with Super League ?

YES.

Ah, of course, SL started in 2004 when L***s finally got off their ar$es and won something.

Idiot

Were 2001 and 2003 one offs as well damo

In the sl era bradford have won the same number of grand finals as leeds and more challenge cups. So really its been saints and bradford with leeds coming in 3rd.

I've seen loads of great games this season, games that have been won or lost by 2, 4 or even 1 point, that have been end to end rugby.

Superleague is good this year.

Exciting, lots of teams stand a chance of getting in the top 8. The salary cap is working, the talent pool is spread out more evenly, meaning a slight drop in quality in some teams.

Some of the less high profile teams are producing, and the key point keeping, there own good young British players, the likes of Ferguson and Westerman.

Of course saints and Leeds are top teams, and that probably won't change for a long time, but that's not taken anything away from the league. Some one has to be the best teams, and they had an head start.

Of course, let's not forget Bradford won SL in it's last season of the league leader format in 1997.

Bulls 4 Rhinos 3

SL has been great this year- Plenty of competitive games- Leeds v Quins being a rarity- Cas/Huds was a captivating game for the neutral on Fri.

It can only go from strength to strength and good to see plenty of British youngster getting games.
