hope it wasn't that small


celtic look very poor! could be a long hard season

Try for Lupton

20-4

Anthony Blackwood was knocked unconscious from a terrible accidental collision with another Celtic player. Then he got up and recommenced play.

And then drove the ball in 2 minutes later.

It shows the courage of these Celtic players. I've not seen anything like it in years.

There hasn't been too much in it IMO.

something you see in rugby league every weekend.

any idea of the crowd on tonight?
been quite good so far this weekend.

Hull-Wigan 14,573
Leeds-Wakefield 15,643
St Helens-Warrington 17,009
Catalans-Huddersfield 7,520

great try. well done tony duggan, 100 tries!!

I had predicted long ago that Duggan would be rated in the top three full backs in Super League.

Duggan makes Wellens look like an old man by comparison.

my old man makes wellens look like an old man.

celtic got what they deserved. giving away a penalty on the last tackle... for holding down

Pity that Salford could only atract [size=117=blue4,026 [/sizefor their opening night. All the other established clubs managed excellent crowds.

It suggests that maybe the RFL made a mistake letting them into Super League ahead of =blue[size=117Toulouse[/size, and even [size=117Widnes[/size.

Over 1,000 under their average attendance in 2007. Poor really.

Oh look: the size queens are here already.

a shade over 7,000 isn't too hot
and at least they won

Playing a game on Valentine's Day is always going to lower the attendance, but Salford need that new stadium fast.

Celtic played some good RL but they need to start games fully switched on, but they are being competitive.

The referee Albert has made a lot of improvement from the performances I've seen from him in the past, going full time has done him a world of good.

Since we all know that Huddersfield don't travel well, then we can guess that 7,000 of those in attendance in Perpignan were locals. By contrast a mere 4,000 Salford Reds fans in attendance for their opening home game is really poor.

he's impressed me when i've seen him officiate. i got some stick a few weeks ago when i said i thought he'd be a good addition to super league so i hope he proves me right. he's made a good start.

Webb, Wellens, Greenshields, B Hodgson, Briscoe all better than Duggan.

If I squinted a bit I could probably convince myself I was watching last year's Cas side tonight. Hell, they were even wearing black and amber... Lots of enthusiasm and good in patches but just not quite on the pace, leading to slightly desperate plays especially late on. I predict a similar season to Cas' last one - one or two welcome shocks but all in all a building exercise. Hopefully the people of South Wales will be patient.

As for the crowd, IMHO getting over 4k into a place like The Willows is no mean achievement.

Young ?

The bloke is 30.

yes but most get in for nothing in catalan dont for get that.

Yes they breed them hard in W1g4n , especially when they are then trained in Leigh

Dont forget the free ticket offer tonight as well, up the franchise process
