I thought the peformance @ Warrington a few weeks ago was pretty damn good.

We really need a minimum salary cap spend brought in.

Another week, more SL hammerings. Only one 'close' game this weekend. In a weekend that saw 7th vs 8th, 1st vs 2nd too!

Which goes to show it's nothing to do with the cap or relative competativeness of teams

One sided scores are far more to do with how the game is played these days. And how the rules are interpreted.

18 points isn't a winning lead any more, neither is 22 really at halftime.

It was always going to be a nothing game from the minute Wigan won the semi final.

Isn't there also a bit of an attitude problem across SL as well? In the NRL when a team ships a lot of points there's a genuinely a shocked reaction, and you rarely see a team get hammered two weeks in a row - beaten yes, but not humiliated. A lot of SL sides seem to simply shrug their shoulders and walk to the next beating. I also cannot recall seeing an NRL side throw in the towel quite as obviously as SL teams do on occasion.

I take your point, but when was the last time you saw as big a mis-match as when Wire/Wigan played someone like Wakefield or Quins?

Quote: wire quin "How many times has 22+ been reeled in, in one half'"

I was thinking exactly the same thing. whilst it does happen it would be a very extraordinary game.
Not sure how interpretation of the rules would affect this, if the PTB was implemented to the letter of the law the margins would be even bigger.
SL has become a game of running hard fast and straight with few risks, if a defending team can handle that but the other team cannot uncompetitive scorelines are enviteable. The majority of teams have to sort out their defences, tackling and reading of the game.
