Quote: Budgiezilla "To be fair, the only game we have been poor is the Salford one. 2 good 1st halfs v Wakey & Hull KR. Guess our reward for finishing top of the league, is being the only championship side, to face super league sides in our opening 3 fixtures. IF we beat Sheffield & Halifax, then we are back in with a shout.'"
I think that you have been a bit hard done by.
Sky and the RFL probably expected you to beat Wakey and Salford early on in the middle 8's and couldn't wait to show the world just how good the new format was.
IF you had turned both of us over, there would have been heaps of positivity for your club and the new structure.
As things have turned out, with exception of Bradford's rout of Salford, we've had the expected scenario of SL clubs beating the lower league clubs, albeit with some close tussles along the way.
The next round of fixtures will be crucial as to how it is likely to unfold.
Bradford vs Widnes will be massive and if the Bulls replicate their win against Salford, it will be game on.
Leigh are now fighting for a spot in the million pound game, whereas the top 5 have their destiny in their own hands
