Super league lost its way - standards slipping year on year, not helped by covid, lack of funding, can’t watch it in comparison to nrl, boring style of play from most teams with really low skill levels.
Not sure how we improve - youth is the answer but our top prospects are being targeted by nrl, they will earn way more money over there & compete on a much bigger scale allied to the lifestyle, weather etc.
Officiating really poor as is the tribunal, the bunker & captains challenge work like clockwork over there, our alternate is a joke - makes me wince every time.
Exactly how I feel
Although I do feel for refs a little as too many players are becoming like footballers and cheating or feigning injury to try and win penalties
