Quote: Douglas Black "Super League.
NRL is like another sport.
And I'm sure Championship, League One and the amateur game are better to watch than the "elite" competition.'"
I must admit I find this sort of talk very tedious. Today's result was disappointing, but it had good tries from both sides, the lead changing hands several times, Singleton being a bell, Sneyd's near drop goal.. plenty of entertainment and memorable moments. It was just the sort of game we grew up watching on a Sunday afternoon and well matched sides.
Earlier in the weekend I watched two complete mismatches in the NRL (which I do like btw) and turned off at half time.
All three games contained more skill and entertainment than the garbage plastered all over ITV at the moment. Nome of the large crowds seem to lose interest when there are a few knock ons or when a completely mystifying penalty is awarded.
