Wire, would you believe.
Apparently Wire fans are treating their win over Bradford like we did ours - i.e. it was all to do with them and nothing to do with the utterly dreadful opposition. |

I reffed a union game on Saturday. Final score was 86-32. Now that's value for money folks! Think the pea in my whistle is broken now.
I agree with this thread, there seem to be a fair few one-sided encounters this season with 40 points being a regular. I hope the franchise system doesn't mean we'll get stupid scores towards the end of the season as teams pack up knowing they have no hope of the top 8 and no relegation to worry about.

That just about says it all about a certain type of RL fan. I think 'ostritch' would be one way to describe him.'"
They don't get the idea that competitive doesn't equal quality do they? |

Some people are saying it is competative because of teams like Hull KR, Cas and Wakey but I cannot imagine that any of this weekends games would of been good to watch, by this I mean good exciting games.

The standard of play is right down this year, across the board.

Getting humped by 43 points by NZ on home turf with the likes of Scott Naylor in the centres, Wellens on the wing (speed demon!), Deacon at stand off, Tony Smith at hooker, Harvey Howard propping and, wait for it, Andy Hay and Darren Fleary on the bench.
That team would get obliterated by the best of 2009. Having said that, I agree that there's been some very poor games this year.
On the other hand, I think that some of the kids getting games in SL over the last few years are WAAAAAAY better than those we were seeing 8/9 years ago. |

For this weekend you could blame the easter program, as some teams have played 3 matches in the space of 8 to 9 days. So your always going to get at least one flat performance between the three matches, teams such as Bradford and Cas were beaten by large margins due to having patched up teams. Missing a few players and fatigue is bound to have an effect on performance.

Sorry, shocker wasn't it 
But when people say SL is worse than it was, I think of Scott Naylor and Andy Hay being our best bets and conclude it can't possible be.
Although there is Paul Sykes . . . . |

| We are crap too... worse than most, its just the overall top-end is lower. Take an average of all players in SL vs the first division and you will find a better standard imo, but we dont have a good top-tier any more. Also the playing style is much worse now.  |
