2019 Super League

[adamkungl]

London really weren't that bad.
Cas are a slick side and score points easily. They'll put up bigger scores against bigger clubs this year, guarantee it.
London played with a lot of heart, competed in everything, and seem well coached, they just lack a bit of star power to get them over the line. A couple of close calls and bs penalties and it's a closer game.

They probably won't win many games but anyone who goes down to London expecting a pushover will get a nasty shock, as Wakefield found out in round 1.

Any word on Wigan's appeal for their 2 pts?

 

[Timmah]

Nothing as yet

 

[deluded pom?]

I see the flying Fijian got a double.

I don't think he had to fly too far for either of them.

Salford 4 v St Helens 26

 

[adamkungl]

St Helens are excellent and deserved competition favourites.

Salford brave but lack the across-the-park talent of the top clubs.

Has there been a better Super League player, or a better player to never play NRL, than James Roby? I doubt it. The bloke is pure class.

Coming in for plenty of praise this morning and rightly so.

Saints will no doubt be top two come September, the real question is whether they can sustain it through the finals and on the big day.

Or will they bottle it again when theplay offs begin?

That was what I was implying, yes

Leeds 18 v Wakefield 35.

 

[Timmah]

Also a solid win 32-16 for Cas over Hull KR. They go top ahead of Saints.

 

[Warriors Fever]

Wakey have really picked up ever since they got nearly relegated

 

[JFK Files]

Wakey are a big chance of making the top 5, hopefully Ashurst injury isn’t season ending cos he’s vital for them. Leeds are no hope, Furner hasn’t got the answers and won’t drop his underperforming big names.

Catalans 23 v Warrington 22.

 

[adamkungl]

Warrington were very poor, no respect for the ball whatsoever.

But credit to Catalans, they took down one of the comp favourites and backed up their Cup win. Something about them seems to frustrate Warrington. Let's see if they can keep up some momentum, the talent is in their roster but they struggle with consistency and always seem to have a lengthy injury list.

 

[JFK Files]

That was a great & important win for Catalan, I think if they can get their top team on the field they will be hard to beat especially during the summer months.

 

[deluded pom?]

Warrington scored to take the lead for the last time shortly after a Catalans goal line drop out. The drop out was awarded when Williame, who was shepherding the ball over the line, was pushed into the ball by Ratchford. No way does Williame play at the ball. A poor ruling IMO.

Correct call. You shepherd the ball, you're playing at the ball for mine. Some baffling calls in that match that seemed to go either way.

Disagree. If you stand there allowing the ball to go dead how are you playing at it? The contact was made because of the attacking player pushing the defender into the ball. If a similar thing happened that caused a player from the attacking team to obstruct a defender because he was pushed into that defender the offending player wouldn’t gain the advantage.
