Sounds like sour grapes. He would be good enough for a SL slot, even though he's lost pace. Unfortunately he didn't provide evidence of consistently delivering in each and every game this time around. He was anonymous in a couple of games. Anyway all the SL clubs have already taken invested heavily in developing their own half back talent.

He's right though.

He's right to a certain extent. There's no doubt the NRL is a superior competition. It should be considering they have a much larger pool of players in their youth and amateur competitions and the vast amount of money they have compared to SL.

Not a pop at you but what do you mean by superior? I watched nearly every game of the NRL last year & it was OK with high skill levels, but I got a dam sight more entertainment watching the team I follow in super league & I suspect as much fun (as we are in the championship now) next season. The reason, I have an attachment to my team the results in the competition mean something to me as they affect the team I invest my emotions in. I love the game & enjoy any close fought match at any level from under 9's to international. It only becomes a problem when the two leagues play each other & you get blow out scores. It would be nice to give the Aussies a good hammering but it don't mean our competition is poor because we don't. As for the gentleman's comments, He hardly set our competition ablaze did he?

He is right and we are losing ground rather than catching up. We are watching the managed decline of our game

Re: No 33 not so complimentary : Sun Nov 27, 2016 4:25 pm  

Why does it matter if there ahead of us they always have been I find the NRL boring to watch most of the time and especially the SOO games which used to be great the games gone sterile since the biff was eradicated out of it

Agreed. Never really understood the NRL sockfest.
Higher intensity? Yes
Fewer errors? Yes
More entertaining? Not at all

Some of the best games ive seen have been between two 'less glamorous teams'
I think its all too easy to jump on the nrl bandwagon. People think theyre somewhat cool or above, if they watch nrl.
Well i watch it, and i'd say a good 80% of it is cakamala.

We can't pretend forever that its the whole which is wrong.

Its like people think our success will come from pure intransigence.

From Lockyer I'd accept it, but Soward hardly ran riot over here.
