There is a lot more dross in the NRL than there was couple of years ago.

This has been done to death. The fact is it was (with probably the odd exception) the best squad available. We just weren't good enough.

I though for a long time now the standard of our junior and academy/reserve leagues in this country has more to do with our poor performance at test level than the standard of SL. This, and the standard of coaching in this country are the 2 things that need addressing the most.

A few of is have been banging on about the reserve and academy standard for years.

The better players are not getting tested. Last night Wigan beat Leeds 60 - 12 at reserve level. What good does that do either team?

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Exactaly. Leeds recognised this this a couple of years ago. Which is generally why the best U18s play in the reserves, and the best U21s go out on loan or come into the first team.

It's a matter of personal choice you dipshit. I prefer to watch SL but it doesn't mean i don't like or watch the NRL. Doesn't make me right, doesn't make the bollox you write any more plausible either. Urban Myth doesn't come into it - it's just opinion and a personal preference.
