Is your 'armature' comment a wind up? ![]()
spelling not my strength, but I can see the game going one way compared with other sports who have a strategy based on growth and expansion - Wasps move from London to Coventry and play in front of 20-30k now whereas teams like Leigh, Salford, Halifax etc struggle to muster 2-3k hence my prediction. Hope the new format works but the evidence so far and the lack of media coverage suggests otherwise. It wont take long before the championship clubs close the gap on superleague clubs cos the standard and quality of the sport has reduced significantly over the last 4-5 years anyway

OK if you say so.
Give me a 6 -4 or 12-6 big defence game any day of the week. High scoring or turnstile defences type games are great in theory but imo you can't beat a hard-fought low scoring game. |

Not really. I'd expect Wakey/Leigh to be a better watch than the vast majority of RU games.

We'll have to agree to differ on what constitutes entertainment. In my humble opinion even the worst game of League has more entertainment than the best of Union. I did used to play Union at school so I'm not completely against it. But I would rather watch almost any other sport. Easier to play but harder to watch! |

1 round later and Bradford hammer Salford 41-10, Leigh v Wakefield comes down to a drop goal finish with Leigh having been 16-6 up. Quality and fitness just fine from the Championship sides! |

Leigh were very unlucky Imo they should have took the draw n went for drop goal in last few minutes when was near wakens line.
Also should have looked to single out Chris Rileys wing, they broke line down his aide quite easily but didn't recognise it as their best chance of scoring.
