Mcilorum's dirty as well as poop, how he got the nod over Houghton last year is beyond me

because he plays for wiggan!

Why do Leeds put up with Bailey, total garbage.

he might be niggly but he's 1 of the best distributors of the ball and we always suffer when he goes off for a rest.

Absolutely, they were excellent. Bradford's one-on-one tackling left a bit to be desired at times, though, e.g. Chan's burst up the middle.

Absolutely. Keep Brough fit and they're real contenders.

On this weekend's relative showings, could be a long night on Friday, especially with Horne out. Big week in training needed.

Its because he is a class player , anyone that thinks Houghton is better knows sod all about rugby league .

Disappointing to see the crowd for the weekend slightly down on 2012, brings in to question the events future again.

shame as I enjoyed both this year and last years events and think it is great to see SL come together for a weekend.

No it doesn't, It would suggest not everyone can afford it.

Don't listen to W Eve on everything.

bradford v leeds and wigan v saints two big derbies last year would of add a couple more thousand i think.

What was the attendance for the two days , Personally , I thought it was a good effort considering the current financial climate .

62K for the weekend. Pretty much the same crowd for both days (500 more there on Day2)

i actually think the fact that they weren't all derby matches had an effect on the crowd attendance.

like where were all the saints fans?

Saints form (until last Monday's win against Leeds) was dire, and their home crowds are down quite a bit on last year. I think that had more of an effect on the lower numbers they took.

I think the lineup of games was about as good as they can get it: the difficult teams to schedule are Warrington, Widnes, Huddersfield and Salford who don't really have derby's to play. Widnes-Warrington is historically a 'derby' but Widnes haven't consistently been at Warrington's level for decades.
