Ooh... Wakefield again.

That'll be another tough, exciting and competitive game.

I can't wait.

I hear there may be some nice cloud formations that day as well - double bonus.

I agree.

Shocked SKY have snubbed it for the TV game.

No need to fork out £22 for the privilege of checking out cloud formations which will be infinitely more interesting and absorbing than Leeds V Wakefield WBSLR Part Deux.

I almost feel sorry for season ticket holders who feel obliged to turn up on Friday evening for no other reason than they have paid for a season ticket and therefore feel they ought to get their shillings worth. It's tough enough having to turn up and pretend a regular season SL fixture between two competitive teams is actually meaningful without the burden of having to pretend that SL teams like Wakey actually merit the moniker of 'competition'.

If the cloud formations lack inspiration, you could always tune into that band struggling hard to generate a faux matchday atmosphere. Then there's the inspirational chants of RYAN... RYAN... NNNAAAAAALLLLL... RYAN... RYAN.... NNNAAAAAALLLLL... when he belly-flops over for his hat-trick or more.

Luke Briscoe back on loan to Wakefield Wildcats this week after returning to Leeds two week ago, so I'd expect him to play.

Pitiful competition ... Only reason Leeds are still in with a chance of another GF win with their ageing decrepit first choice pack and clueless bench-warming-selections coach ......although they undoubtedly are still bound to fail the CC test.

Tell me about it.
I keep getting Seinfield every time I put in Sinfield.
Probably should just call him Sinny, then I most likely will get tinny

Unfortunately, if we pulled together all players of a reasonable and semi-reasonable quality, there'd still only be enough players to fill half a dozen SL teams at the most. With barely 100 players of requisite quality in the whole comp, well over half the SL squads are guaranteed to be absolute gash (especially when said clubs are skint) whilst the squads at the top clubs embrace their own mediocrity by passing it off as quality. Still... it's enough to hoodwink most modern day fans of Super League whose constituency, on the whole, won't be splitting the atom any time soon.
