Got to be an all time low, surely. Watching Leeds v Cas is painful, SO many mistakes and just seen the first points after 51 minutes. So poor…..

I bet you are fun to be around

Usually mate yeh lol. Do you think the standard of SL is ok then?

In terms of execution, that was the worst game of professional Rugby League I have ever seen. Shocking.

Very poor in terms of entertainment until the very end, but only because it remained close.

The standard is woeful I agree. But when so called big clubs like ours(wire)and Hull are currently churning out such abject performances what do you expect?

He wouldn’t know. He supports Leigh

But to comment on your post, this is the reason why sky want out. It’s an embarrassing product for people to watch unless St Helens are playing

The same St Helens that can’t fill their ground despite everything getting handed to them on a silver platter?

The same St Helens who couldnt get to the CC final.

Its not right good is it

Probably the worst standard of RL for quite a while, lots of clubs suffering from injuries and bans means a significant amount of top players on the sidelines.

Beginning of the season wasn’t a good look either, a below form Leeds was on SKY mostly in the first 2 months then similar with Wire.

Back end of the season a lot better with Wigoons and Salford catching the eye with an attacking style.

Watched the Leeds/Cas game after getting back home from our game against rovers.
As bad as Leeds and Cas were (and I agree the standard for an alleged top-tier game was abysmal), both sides would have put 50 points on Fc yesterday.
Unless you were at the KC stadium yesterday, it is difficult to describe just how shockingly bad Fc were.
The only reason rovers didn't go past the 50/60 point mark yesterday was due to conserving energy in the second half as they only had a 3-man bench, with no real need to chase a game that they were in no danger of losing.

Being one of the worst teams in the lowest standard league that I can remember is doubly embarrassing!

Yes i do, unlike the countless teams you support under the various aliases

The Championship if far better to watch Jean

Been very happy watching the Championship this season, it's reinvigorated my love of RL, it's only the clear mismatches when a part-time side meets a side that is full-time/almost full-time that spoil it. Although I saw Leigh comfortably beat London today, I can safely say they're unlikely to do anything to improve the bottom half of SL unless they're planning to sign 8 to 10 SL standard players in the off season.

It's not great.

It's funny as the NRL is being questioned due to the bottom 8 sides not competing but those bottom 8 sides are way ahead of SL.

The top NRL sides are playing a different sport to what we see in super league. The standard has dropped massively and year on year seems to get worse.

I've never not watched so many games in a season but i get my fix watching NRL and watching SL after is a difficult watch.

I'm really not sure how the standard can get better when the days of signing top players in from Australia are over and anyone decent on this side of the world coming through will be snapped up quickly by an NRL club.

Totally agree mate, I usually catch at least one NRL and I’ll not bother with a “standard” SL game nowadays, the two leagues are night and day. We’re in a real catch 22 as you say, no top Aussies come over here anymore due to exchange rates and the NRL salary cap and we don’t have enough people playing in this country to produce top line talent in depth. I’m hoping the World Cup and/or IMG can jump start the patient because it’s on life support at the moment sadly.

So you're paying to catch and watch the odd game in the NRL? OK.

Is that the only game that you've seen Leigh play today?

Eh?

It's the only time I've seen them in the flesh, I seem to remember seeing them on Premier Sports or Our League, don't remember which.

Yesterday was a bit like watching a SL team play a part-time team in CC, they don't have to be especially good, they just need to use their superior conditioning and stronger squad to roll over the opponent. The problem I see with Leigh is a lack of raw pace and too much dependence on the sort of overseas players that would be squad fillers in the lower half of SL. The tempo that will roll over part-time teams at Championship level is still some way off the bottom half of SL.

Thankfully iptv exists so I'm not restricted to whatever games sky show. Iptv has NRL 24/7 on fox so thankfully I'll see every play off game.

My club seem to manage it

You sure about that ?

Is it legal to do that?




You also have a like from the notorious atomic, maybe he has the same set up too.

11 different winners of the NRL since 1998 as well.
If we had either more quality or unpredictability, it’d be some consolation.

I mean nobody expects the CFL to match the NFL but 8 of its 9 teams have won a Grey Cup since 2010.

Some task for IMG.
