Just look at the youth running round super league at the moment and it's not just at the top teams like saints and Leeds. Most teams now have good young players breaking threw.

Also I think in the next year but defo in next couple of years I think we gonna see few teams break the saints and Leeds from being the Dom teams year in year out.

The likes of hull kr, wildcats, giants could win the grand final in the next few years. Kr and giants could maybe do it this year.
I Agree and i will stick my kneck out with the kids at my club i believe we will defo win the league in the next 5 years.

I don`t think it matters which club the writer supports to be honest; the points hit home because they contain quite a bit of truth.

Because of the nature of the game over recent years, and I`m talking here about the `big four` and the way a few supporters of certain clubs had a permanent expectation of victory, it`s only to be expected that many wouldn`t like it when reality struck. The reality, of course, is that this situation wasn`t sustainable, the cap took care of that.

So now I`m sitting here, typing away and wondering IF we`re going to win against the bottom of the league in a few hours time. Of course I`ll be P`d off if we lose but it`s still better than wondering if we`ll win by fifty points or seventy points as might have been the case a couple of years ago.

It wasn't the best skilled game due to the conditions but for excitement and drama it could not be faulted

I just wished you had gone for the drop when you had the chance :wink:


We did. But the point about competitve rugby is that you can't guarantee that every attempt to score will succeed ;)






Doubt everything, even this

Leeds: lost a few at home to teams they probably expected to trounce, some spoilt supporters won’t be pleased

Hull FC: are playing very boring one dimensional Rugby

Wire: always get built up and hardly fulfil potential which must be very frustrating for fans, terrible start to this season and only just getting going

In the ideal world you would have every team winning 75% of their home games and the top teams picking up the odd away win to sort the table out. Personally I love unpredictability of results and surely that should be a motivator for going as you never know if you will win or not.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......
