Wire 26 Leeds 6
Comfortable win for the Wolves this morning. Leeds looking at another slow start.

Wire very impressive and will get even better, Rhinos have real problems in the halves. Lolohea was horrendous and Myler just as bad, neither can create.

Lolohea is overweight and myler is a fraud. Worst Leeds halfback pairing I’ve ever known.

 

[Walter sobchak]

Leeds are still building and in a state of transition but one look at the number of talented youngsters coming through the ranks is enough to realize that the rhinos will be a force to reckon with in 2-3 years time.

Hull FC victory lol

Why were Warrington playing in the Leeds kit? Was it a ploy to confuse them?

London 42 - 24 Wakefield

Don't think anyone saw that coming!

Didn’t London have something like a 20 points start with the bookies??

What was the crowd like?

Not sure of the exact attendance but if the capacity of the ground is 3,000 and it looked pretty full I’d guess around 2,500.

Lolohea has been overweight forever. He went to Super League because he thought it was an easier path than actually meeting his potential in the NRL. Getting fatter was an inevitability.

lol@Wakey. Go London

I'm not sure Leeds will be quite so high, but otherwise looks bang on. Maybe London a touch higher and Rovers a touch lower?

Leeds have a high quality squad but a spud coach so hard to judge. Furner is a hack at NRL level but his experience might see him get up the ladder in SL.

St Helens clearly best squad and best positioned as a club to win it.
Wigan in a rebuilding phase with an untested coach.
Cas will dearly miss Luke Gale.
Wakefield overrated, squad punching above their weight in recent years. Good coach.

According to the English forums London are meant to be the worse side ever to get into Super League, so what does that say about Wakefield?

Wakefield are overrated, especially by Wakefield fans. London are greatly underrated.

It would be brilliant if London could stay up this season, and then reinforce next season with an NRL quality half and two NRL quality props.

Wakefield have a better chance of making the playoffs than London do of staying up.

Let us revisit your predictions at mid season.

Yes it would be amazing if they stay up but forget getting more Aussies in, their destiny is in the hands of youngsters coming through the ranks and talented, hungry players coming in from elsewhere.
At least they proved their depth isn’t too bad, they left out some decent players too.
