There is a difference that Australia is massive, some fans out in the countryside arent driivng for hours to get to a game anyway. But I agree that televising games doesnt hit the crowd that much, you either want to go for the atmosphere or you dont.

Decent CC game today Barrow v Oldham on the Beeb , Oldham have signed some decent players with SL experience for this season .

Ah, Marc Sneyd.

Got to say I admire Rowley and they way he can get a team to play and with little in terms of budget especially looking at the dogs dinner we served up yet again.

Also who does Salford's scouting and do they fancy a new life in East Yorkshire

Was we in for Frawley?….thank god we missed him…he was garbage at Hudds and ok only his 1st all game but is he playing?….Leeds going back to old days of spending big money?..Personally think it’s the coach living off his dad and uncles surname

but they beat a very decent underestimated Salford
Its two points for Leeds.Whats your point?

Some Leeds supporters seem happy with him and they did at least get a win.

Not sure we are in a position to criticise half backs at other clubs when we don't have any of our own.

Frawley is steady and sometimes as a 7 that's all you need to be especially when you have quality like Croft next to him, all he needs to do is keep the team moving around so Croft can work his magic, a bit like when we had Sneyd and Kelly.

Just seen the highlights from the Leeds and Salford game, all of the sin bins in that game especially the last one were an absolute joke and will drive even more fans away from the game.

Will watch the Catalans v Warrington game at teatime.
Would be then nice to watch Cas v Wigan on BBC Iplayer after it.
No doubt they'll be flashing the scores up from the alternative game to take all the fun out of it though.

Thought both games are on Sky?

Correct and the Cas v Wigan game is also live on BBC2.

I know they won but didn’t deserve it and Frawley very anonymous,just don’t rate him that’s all…that was my point and I know we don’t have half-backs but because a Aussie wears 7 doesn’t make them great.Also how the hell did he get m.o.m…Handley and Newman was better than him .

Wigan's team for this evening

Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, French, Smith, Thompson, O'Neil, Byrne, Isa, Farrell, Ellis
Subs: Cooper, Mago, Leeming, Dupree

Now that's an impressive line up.
