| I think the big scorelines ought to be worrying. If teams can't defend for a full game at the start of the season there's a real problem, and having watched the highlights on the SL site, I'd argue well over half the tries scored at the weekend were down to shoddy defence (if not for the try itself then the play before).
Sport is about unpredictability and close fought games. One-sided walkovers don't do anyone any good and TBH is that what people want to see all the time, even if their team is on the right side of it?
It will be interesting to see what happens in the NRL in terms of scorelines this year, as there were signs at times (even in the playoffs) of blowouts starting to happen more often. It may be that the advantage has been pushed too far towards the attack, in which case some rule changes may be needed. However, the problem is generally a lot less severe in the NRL as the overall quality of player is simply higher, and they do the basics in defence (e.g. standing in a straight line, moving up in a line and not missing one-on-one tackles) far better than SL.

| Just a suggestion to help with big score lines, what would people think of the conceding team receiving the ball from the kick off? Woukd help prevent teams scoring back to back tries?

| Yes it is the same old, same old. The same old moaning about our sport. If we, as fans, constantly search for negatives in the game, how do we expect to expand etc?

| It's a discussion board. By nature, people will post when they want to make a point or suggest a change, or whatever, but generally it's more likely to be about something they don't like or think could be improved than it is to be a post to just say how much they love everything.
I hope the people running the game are absolutely DEDICATED to searching for negatives. That's how you make things better.

| Happier now?
The top 2 teams in the regular season over the last 3 years going at it blood and thunder and playing out a 17-17 draw. And some people say the players don't care about the regular season games, more accurately it's some of the fans that don't..........but of course we can't criticise the 'fans' at all

| Great game. Shows what the sport can deliver on the field and how close we are to having a great competition. Just got to get rid of the dross propping up the league ( by which I don't mean kick it out, just stop it being dross ). As for not criticizing fans...go for your life if it makes you feel better. How you think having a go at, or blaming fans for, say, not being as interested when those teams play Wakefield, will improve the game, I don't really follow. But I'm sure you and Nigel have it all worked out.

Ahh here we go.
I (as a fan) can't be critical of the fans because it's a fans right to be critical
And it's clearly not just been when a top team play a bottom team that people have questioned players efforts and attitudes.
Also I never said it would improve the game so I don't know where you dreamt that up and you seem to be one of those whose only reply when someone says positive things about the sport is 'Oh another Nigel Wood fan'.........yep really fine response there.

Certainly a huge relief for SL after the 7 dreadful low-intensity blowouts in Round 1.

1,500 more than Premiership football average attendances this season at the same stadium:

You can criticize fans as much as you like. Glad that you accept that its a useless activity.
( as of course is any of our comments on here, but lets just hope Nigel and his mates don't waste THEIR time questioning the attitude of fans)

Although there was clearly a large Rovers following at the game, you've got to give credit to how Wakefield have improved their crowds and their ground.
a few years ago that game would have been a 6K attendance with everyone getting soaking wet, instead it looked a good crowd for the TV.

I don't think Wakefield improving their crowd and the ground can take credit for it not raining at Belle Vue last night!
