Devils v Saints.

It's as though they want me to get to work on time...

Salford were terrible losing 36-0.

Tim Smith had a shocker with his kicking game, was not supported by Theo Fages (very young one must remember).

All in all, Salford were rubbish and could not compete with the grind of the match.

salford need kyle eastmond so bad its untrue

 

[Southern Rooster]

Salford were awful as were Hull KR this morning losing 30-10 at home to Castleford. Good win for Widnes over Huddersfield 22-20 and Leeds belting Catalans 40-12

I know its only early, but i was hoping some of the geographically smaller clubs would be relegated (ie castleford)

 

[chemics]

I know its only earlyi was hoping some of the geographically smaller clubs would be relegated (ie castleford)

To be replaced by equally smaller clubs and even worse facilities?

 

[deluded pom?]

I know its only early, but i was hoping some of the geographically smaller clubs would be relegated (ie castleford)

Or failing that, Hull KR.

I'm back!

Lost my vision in Sydney last week and ended up missing the game because I was in the Emergency Ward at the Sydney Eye hospital. Sorry to JasonE too. I didn't see your message until I got back.

Leeds are looking pretty good early on, as are Saints. Early days yet but these two have put down the marker for the other teams to reach. In 4 weeks time they play each other and it should be a cracker. Leeds young back line vs Saints young forwards. I can't wait already.

What have I learnt this round so far? Amor is looking like the player some of us thought he would turn out to be when he was at Leeds. Watkins is untouchable in SL at the moment and has the look of a young Inglis about him.

Oh, and Brian McDermott loves a good moonwalk

Geez Eurosport on FOX is crap....often miss large chunks of the game when IQing it as they screw the time up...todays HKR - Cas game, the bloody audio was 3 or 4 seconds behind the video...all outta whack, very annoying

That allowed?

Hope all's well.

our opening game in championship 1 against south wales scorpions got called off after 72mins due to "hypothermia-like conditions"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/26411263


we were winning 18-4 with 8mins left...the result will probably stand

That was very annoying. Still I guess I am grateful we get to watch it. Get to see Widnes on Friday morning against Salford on Eurosport. Have the day off perfect start to the morning.

Great game between Leeds and Huddersfield this morning just finished too, i won't give any spoilers but well worth a watch if anyone has it on record.

 

[CC_Roosters]

St Helens v Hull KR 5326
Huddersfield v Leeds 7200

Any reason for the garbage crowd at st helens? I mean that is really atrocious. Huddersfield crowd looked and sound way more than what has been reported

 

[Evil Homer]

Not sure where you've got those figures from but the attendance at St Helens was 11,818.

Agree, the most enjoyable game since the WC semi final.
The two late tries were Rugby League at it's best.

I hope that comment isn't a spoiller.

Tell you what as well, I think both Leeds and Hudds would have beaten the a bulldogs and Broncos with some to spare. This mornings game was played at similar speed to the opening NRL game between Souths and Easts.

Ok that seems closer to what I would have guessed. My figure was off the super league site match report about half hour after full time.

Honestly huddersfield looked more like 10k

Nrl has been shit. Very messy and too much one out running
