    Super League Grand Final 2011 spoilers

    He's on the wind up, just ignore him :lol: To be the Champions you have to time your run right. Wigan and Warrington came up just short. In the last 2 months of the season we have proved that we were just as good as the top 3, beating 2 of them in big games and just coming up short in 1. All...

    england squad named

    He has an Irish name and probably an Irish parent but he was born in Leeds.

    Populations in RL areas

    Of course it does. Hunslet is in the city of Leeds. It's closer to the centre than Headingley. In Leeds though, and probably other major cities, all the suburbs populations are recorded hence why the OP has stated the population of Hunslet. ATEOTD Hunslet are a semi professional team from the...

    Populations in RL areas

    Leeds is spot on. Hopefully a win on Saturday will boost the attendances back above the 15.5k it's at now.

    Brough or Lomax ?

    You cant leave Tomkins out!! Even if he is a little grub!! Anyway, hasnt he got about 3 weeks to get fit? Thats a long time in sport. I cant fit Myler in my team anywhere either. I have nothing against Warrington players before you say anything either WireMan ;-) He just isnt good enough for...

    Tigers Movements

    I've heard from 2 different people that Leeds have signed Chris Heighington for next season. Has anyone your side heard this? It was rumoured months ago but then seemed to die a death.

    Buderus to the Knights

    Bedsy isnt the player he once was. Thats a given. He has had 3 years at Leeds and in his first year he missed most of it through injury. The 2nd year he was average with brief glimpses of he past self but this year he has stepped up a gear. He has not always been brilliant but last night in our...

    TV presentation and ONLINE NRL.

    Oh and in the US they do have an online service for the NFL too. It's called Game Rewind. As soon as a game finishes it becomes the same as Gamepass minus the NFL Network. Also if you subscribe to DirecTV you get all the games through your TV, Mobile and PC/Laptop/Mac live. It's not that...

    TV presentation and ONLINE NRL.

    There is an NRL product online for us overseas. It's http://www.livenrl.tv/page/Home Not a member myself as it's cheaper to get Premier Sports in England which shows 5 or 6 games a weekend. The Grand Final is live on Sky Sports today too in HD which is good. As for NFL's Gamepass... I don't...

    England in bid for Manly Sea Eagles star Daly Cherry-Evans

    Widdop and Reed I have no problem with because they are actually English. CH and DC-E though are bloody Aussies! Were not an Emerging nation here! We have our own rising star half backs who deserve a shot. No doubt Cherry-Evans is a very good player and is possibly a future Australia star...

    england 4nations injuries

    And to think on the ESL forum I was shot down by a few for the suggestion. Just because he wasnt good enough in his early to mid 20's doesnt mean that he cant improve. The McGuire of 2010 and 2011 is twice the player of the pre 2009 Danny. A lot of this is to do with his injuries IMO as he hasnt...

    Super League Qualifying Semi Finals

    Good morning guys

    Why do crowds plummet?

    Lets face it... this year hasnt really impressed anyone. Only 2 games out of 6 have been competative and even 1 of those a team led by 18 with 10 left. 3 games have been big scores to nil and the crowds have been down. Now I am a big believer in the playoffs but since this new system has come in...

    Why do crowds plummet?

    That was the luck of the draw though. It's not like the RFL could predict they would get 3 unscheduled games against each other throughout the year. As for prices, I went to watch a game of NRL at Wollongong a few years back and got a ticket on the Hill for $8... $8!!!! At the time that was £3...

    Super League Qualifying Semi Finals

    So here we are, 80 minutes from Old Trafford and 4 teams remain. Warrington v Leeds St Helens v Wigan The safe money IMO is still on a Wire/Wigan GF but I think Leeds and Saints will both have a big say in what happens. Leeds have really come into some form over the last month or so and had...

    Super League Defensive Lines

    I've commentated on a fair few Bulls games this season and the best I saw them play was a narrow loss to Wigan in the cup... this was after Raynor was sent off though. After this happened the Bulls condensed their defensive line and Wigan couldn't break through. I have said for a while that this...

    Why do crowds plummet?

    Prices need to drop IMO. £15 instead of £20 will get a hell of a lot more through the doors. But it's not always been the case that the crowds plummet. It just seems to be this season. Leeds' game against Hull last week was our lowest ever play off crowd. Our actual average playoff crowds since...

    Sam Tompkins

    Yeah, as far as Ashton goes he would be no where near the England team with the current crop of wingers in SL. It was the right move for him and he's made more fame and fortune than he ever would have playing for Wigan. As for the little grub Tomkins (no P).... it's all really been said above...

    Brough or Lomax ?

    Forgot to mention too. Danny McGuire scored his 200th try for Leeds last week in our play off game against Hull. This came in his 269th game. Think he is the 5th person ever to score that amount for Leeds and the 1st non winger. Thats not a bad strike rate for any player, never mind a half back.

    Brough or Lomax ?

    McGuire looked very good tonight. Not just with his attacking and organising play, but his kicking game was very good too. He is really starting to look like the player that carried Leeds for the whole of last season. I know we let Hudds back into the game tonight but I still think that with...
