What is the thinking of sinfield at 7, that one has lost me completely

Thoughts ?

What did you all think of the final?. I thought Australia were in a different class and I would add that either Sonny Bill has lost a lot of ability or he has been overhyped in the past. It has been a tremendous tournament though and to get a record crowd for a match in which there were two foreign teams shows that there is a public demand for our game. The challenge for the RL Management is to build on this success and surely we can now find worthwhile sponsors for all our competitions.

Overall I really enjoyed it, shame the final was a blowout but you can't blame Australia for that.
That must be as close as you can get to a perfect performance, hopefully the RFL can get their act together and build on the success of the tournament, if we go into next season without a title sponsor there really isn't much hope.

Until Hetherington & Lenagan work out who's got the biggest, no sponsor will look sideways at the SL. The power-struggle & whatever format we'll be using needs to be sorted PDQ or the ridicule will (rightly) begin all over again & we'll be back to square one.
Regardless of how well received & played the WC was (well, mainly).

We also need to get the Broncos situation sorted asap - there needs to be a successful London side in Super League at all costs...

Might be proved wrong (you never know, miracles happen!)



Let's just hope it's not another Stobart's fiasco.
