It is especially difficult for the big biff and bash players favoured and signed by Radforf to adapt to the new rules.

You mean like Alex Walmsley?

We haven't had a full side to find out yet.

I don’t think anyone has.

He’s rather more than Biff Bash

8 or 9 players missing after 2 weeks isolation when 9 players tested positive, hardly good preparation.
The players were totally knackered before the Warrington game, something the usual suspects on here conveniently choose to ignore.

Good post completely agree that the games are becoming a nonsense and with teams having limited training and recovery, players playing injured and fixtures crammed in to suit TV (with no apparent thought of player recovery and welfare), momentum in matches is everything. When one team is down on energy and patched up, blow out scores and predictable outcomes are more and more evident.

It almost looks like a 2020 campaign played out in desperation to keep the Sky boys sweet and bugger everything else but all the while the people who are most important the core support used to one game a week to look forward to and well matched hit ups of a high standard are just becoming oblivious to it all. The season doesn't seem to have anything like the gravitas it usually has. In a nut shell already some people are just getting bored of it all.

......Fortunately, Gareth Ellis has found a solution, and will be wearing these against Wakefield.

The inconsistent six again rule is making the game look like a nines tournament.

Finding it difficult to keep interest in the game at the moment.

Thought the same about 9s - it does feel like the format has been diluted. That said, the order of the league table holds few surprises so maybe it's still a good way of differentiating between teams.
