first:utility Super League XIX: Rounds 3-27

Expecting a comfortable Leeds win.

I really enjoyed Cas v Leeds, for Cas i thought Daryl Clark and Marc Sneyd were really impressive and Leeds' Kallum Watkins is turning into the absolute superstar i hoped he would be.
Hopefully Ben Jones-Bishop will be in the starting lineup every week now.

 

[JasonE]

I think Clark has to be in the England 4 nations squad, he would be ideal as an interchange player.

Unlikely with Hall, Briscoe and Hardaker in his way.

I would have BJ-B over Tom Briscoe every time, it looks like he is leaving next year anyway so i would like to see him try his hand in the NRL.
I get the feeling RFU will go in hard for him.

probably end up at salford pal

Yup.

Salford Red Devils have signed winger Ben Jones-Bishop from Super League rivals Leeds Rhinos on a three-year contract from 2015.

Rhinos had confirmed that the England Knights three-quarter would be leaving at the end of the season, having made his debut for them in 2008.

The 25-year-old has scored 53 tries in 76 games for Leeds.

However, the arrival of Tom Briscoe from Hull last winter has limited him to just five appearances this season.

Koukash has invested heavily in the Red Devils side, already adding Kiwi Test full-back Kevin Locke to Iestyn Harris' squad for next term.

So, big weekend, hey?

 

[Evil Homer]

All 7 matches this weekend are on FTA in the UK which is nice.

 

[JasonE]

That is good news about BJ-B.

 

[roughyedspud]

should have backed himself and had a crack at the NRL imo...

Tony Rea livening it up.

 

[Patorick]

Well done to Widnes.

Great effort with all so many men down.

 

[Patorick]

Ull darby nuxt.

 

[Patorick]

Miller exposed badly in defence there.

FC struggling.

 

[Bovrick]

Very enjoyable first day.

I'd say awesome last match, but then I am biased

 

[JasonE]

I watched all 4 games and that would be one of the most enjoyable days ever, the intensity of the Wigan v Leeds game was as high as any SL game i have seen.

 

[Wilson1]

40,000 there - good crowd. I still believe a mid season 9's competition would probably do more for the game but this is still a good effort.

 

[Patorick]

Poor Wakefield.

Cas giving it too them.

22-0 HT.

Magic Weekend is amateurish, it's embarrassing, and Pommie refereeing, oh well! Get rid of this weekend, have the C Cup Final in May instead. Only SL teams in the C Cup, top 8 from the previous season. But have another cup competition. Final in July at home of one of the finalists. All 12 SL teams in that one, 3 groups of 4; top in each group into the semi-finals, plus the best second place team.
