It's a good argument of course, that's all these things are. The lack of recruitment at Trinity may be seen as a blessing as continuity will prevail.

The wholesale changes in the playing squad at HKR may worsen their cohesion........Leigh may be awful.........

By the sound of it you can add Folau to the "outs" list.

Interesting.... as Folau signed a 12 month extension in Jul 20, is it a transfer rumour, or departure due to other circumstances?

Definitely between Leigh and Wakefield. Both have sub standard squads and a terrible coach. Could be an interesting battle at the bottom

I think you are wrong on Chester and Wakey , they have had to put up with horendous injury lists in the last two years , when they have been anywhere near full strength they have been a match for most teams

He did provide the inspiration for one of the all time great post match interviews from Andy Farrell though

What he said about Farrell was spot on though, flat track bully who never showed up at big games domestically or internationally.

Not quite "the day he retired" but he is certainly a dinosaur in terms of his views & he has never been the brightest button.

Not only is it a point of interesting discussion, you can get odds on who will be relegated this very moment, and telephone a bet through.....

HKR 9/2
WAKEFIELD 9/2
LEIGH 11/10

So the bookie's expectation is Leigh straight down the pan.

If not then will HKR's sizeable change in their squad trump Wakefield sticking with what they have got?

Wonder what the odds are on that



He's not come back when he should have done, there's a range of "bets" on why this is.

Maybe range from him re-joining RU to Gausch not being able to pay him his whopping salary, to something in between......

Can one of the mods please check where all the missing posts have gone on this thread? There appear to be no "Salford are nailed on for the bottom 2" predictions and even LeBron mk2 must have forgotten to take his meds as he appears to have forgotten what a disgrace we are and how little we bring to SL.

To be fair. Salford and their 200 fans and no grass roots game, do bring nothing to SL but I still think Wakefield and Leigh are by far the favourites to finish bottom

Steph, you missed a zero off !

To be fair most people have absolutely no interest in what you say, I wish the few who ‘debate’ with you would desist.

I'm not sure "debate" is the correct word. "Mock" is far more appropriate.

I think most people on here think hes a bit of a mass debator dont they?

Absolutely, whoever it is is nasty and provocative, and aims to spoil threads

Not sure on Wakey! Definitely sure Leigh’s squad is not complete yet.Your call is premature. Should be fun to see your outcome.

Salford bring plenty to Superleague, and you bring plenty to this board despite the utterly tiresome WUMS.

Salford differ in that they don't run an academy but there is an argument that this doesn't matter as there are other academies nearby. I enjoyed their performances, they have the modern stadia, their fans are great and they have been splendidly entertaining.

Was that just a magical coach in Watson? Even if it was, the new coach seems to have great credentials anyway. I'd trust the bookies here.....

Looks like Folau might be going back to NRL with the Dragons seeking permission for him to play there in 2021, subject to his release from the other Dragons. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/55900915

George Burgess leaves Wigan with immediate effect.

health reasons?

Essentially yes, he needs another op, with a 7 month recovery period, but the surgeon isn't available until March as they're overseas. He'd miss the entire season, so a mutual decision has been made for Burgess to leave. Sad way to potentially end his career, this surgery isn't even about getting him to play, it's about letting him have a quality of life in the future.

yes its very sad to see, remember seeing at odsal in an academy game and he ploughed through the defensive line every time
