Super League News
It was a perfect start by Huddersfield, the type a start a coach would even ask for because it was so ridiculously good. Leon Pryce kicked the ball back, set after set on the St Helens line, a try, keeping St Helens under non stop pressure. However the signs we’re there early on that Huddersfield…
So Im over here in Pommyland and the Challenge Cup is on this weekend. Great, I can go to my first Challenge Cup….in Twickenham….to see St Helens….take on Huddersfield…. Ummm…no. I think I’ll be saving my money on this one and going to a Challenge Cup Final next year that will hopefully provide some type…
Ive said for some time now that Rob Burrow isn’t even close to being a halfback, and if you have watched his play over the last few weeks, surely now you must agree with you. Burrow’s game consists of running across field and then throwing a long looping pass to a flat footed player out wide. He…
Well the relegation battle in Super League got a nice little fire lit under it when half the bloody teams in Super League were caught cheating the salary cap. So much for the level playing field.

Well the RFL is starting to get serious about drug testing and its now handing out real suspensions for players that get caught. Well done to them. Now if only they could go back 6 months and take a look at the handful off excuses they accepted including two team mates that just happened to…
If you head on over to RLFans you’ll see the petition for Salford to get a brand new 20,000 seat stadium. This is a club that struggles to break the 4,000 mark, a club that’s barely of SL standard. They need a 20,000 seat stadium like I need an ego boost! Anyone that signs that petition has…
Well, the Farrell saga drags on and on. Funny thing is, I don’t think ANYONE cares any more. Wigan set the RFU a deadline last week….that deadline came and went…still nothing. Shows how much standing Wigan has lost in the sporting world. Once upon a time it would have been Wigan dictating to the RFU….not…
