lets face it : Fri Jul 18, 2014 10:22 pm  
superleague is crap - wigan have won tonight without breaking sweat. Don't get me wrong I want wigan to win, but most of all I want to watch a hard, competitive game irrespective of the outcome. If anyone seriously thinks this new structure is going to result in every game being competitive, quote saints owner, then they are deluded. If Hull cant give an under strength wigan team a game, then I cannot see the like of Leigh, fev etc. doing any better. Reduce the league to the lowest common denominator to improve quality and competition - I think not. The game will be fully amateur in 10 years, floundering in the wake of RU & NRL.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions

Re: lets face it : Fri Jul 18, 2014 10:30 pm  
Do you think Man City fans complained when they were beating teams 5-0? Thrashings happen in sport. Did you watch Leeds v Cas the other night? Awful weren't it.

Hull had a lot of injuries as well but it was a low quality game. Wane said after the match on GMR he thought we were scrappy and not clinical enough and I agree.

We made a lot of errors, bombed a couple more tries and still scored 56 points.

I enjoyed watching George Williams have a really good game (well deserved MoM) but overall it wasn't a satisfying game to watch.

I have seen us put a lot of points on teams many times and quite often its because we have been sh 1 t hot and I have left the ground with a big grin on my face but that didn't really apply tonight.

If you are satisfied with 1 quality game in 10 then adopt the same blinkered attitude. I enjoyed everyone one of the 8 league and cup winning years. The RFL and the new structure is a joke - you only need to look at the inactivity on this site to give you an indication of how disinterested people are. The game is doomed and we are all sleep walking to its death. Give me an example of how the RFL has used the success of the World Cup to develop the game??

TBF, next year you take away two of the run of the mill games (Bradford and London) and replace the extra games against top 8 teams then it is better.

They'll always be easy beats when a top team faces a bottom team (and that is what Hull are). You aren't going to get 11 home games of close gripping excitement......it's unrealistic and if you did you'd probably only complain that you weren't blowing teams away by 40 points.

So you don't think games against Hudds and Cas won't at least be interesting? Catalans if away is usually tricky (granted they lost their heads this time)

but unless your out of the top 8 you wont be playing leigh fev etc and I think hudds cas and cats give you good games referring to your point that there are only four decent teams haven't cas already beaten you twice this season

Cas have beaten us twice as have Hudds.
Cas also took a thumping from us too.
Hudds won't win anything, Cas might as they are in a semi.
Come on Fun Time, admit it this is a very good night for you and your HKR mates!

even if we, fc, were at full strength, i still think you would have beaten us by a similar score, (you did at the kc), with the muppet in charge coaching the players at the moment we will continue to flounder, the guy is out of his depth, not once as he taken responsibility for a loss!
