Absoloute sport on. Look at the last two grand finals? the two best teams in Superleague and it wasnt even a great spectacle.

The quality in the NRL is miles infront of what we watch every week.

What level would Salford be playing in Australia???

We will never get anywhere near the Aussie test side as long as im alive and there's at least another 50 years in me.

How is the NRL boring?

Its not,its a complete myth.

The NRL doesnt look as fancy as their defences are much tougher unlike super league were the defences are so poor that its a lot easier for teams to score fancy looking trys that look good when in reality most of the fancy trys scored are the result of poor defence.

This fact is highlighted when GB meet Australia and the Aussies score some lovely trys wheras the British players who are used to playing against poor defence cannot do it when faced with a tough defence.

If you think SL is genuinely more entertaining then your kidding yourself,its an illusion due to the poor defence.

It just shows how big the gap is between 1st/2nd at mid table (which is probably what we are).

We need some forwards !

This isn't about Wigan, or Leeds, or any other SL team.

This is about the state of RL in the UK.

It is very very poor, and the blame for this can be placed firmly at the door of the CC.


I can assure you I feel absolutely no pleasure in being proven right over the last 3 years.

1 wcc win over a 50% strength leeds team not taking it seriously and you think the nrl's better

leeds wanted the wcc last year, this year they want the treble gf.

NRL is so in front of us oh yes, over the past 6 years how many times has an English club won it? hmm let me count im sure its 5-1 to the English?????? If you want to bum NRL and its so superior players to Superleague just don't watch SL nobody is making you. im sure the majority of people are content watching the rugby they do.

goes to show how bad Wigans team is and Leeds team of mainly British talent is head and shoulders above you

Doesn't Australia also have a salary cap. and has for many years?

The NRL is light years ahead. The ptb over here has slowed this season, which is a positive step. Regardless of Cunningham et all bleating about it.

Defensive structure will always win the trophies, which is why we are so far behind.

Lets not include the WCC in this, cause we all know Manly were the first side to really "put in" since the Roosters did Saints a few years back.
