Round 9

Leeds 20
Bradford 20

lee Smith scored 2 on his return. We were poor for 60 mins and then kicked into gear. Could have snatched a win but we didn't deserve it.

The Hull derby is a cracking game so far. Best game of the season IMO. Long is still the best 7 in the comp. 14-12 to Rovers at ht

Just over 5000 at the Huddersfield match is embarrasing..

Admittedly, it was against a non performing Catalans side, but such a nice looking stadium and with with the Giants sitting where they are on the ladder..

 

[Evil Homer]

It was actually 5,926. Still less than the Crusaders got though for their game vs Catalans, and the Crusaders match was televised.

The three televised games were all crackers. I've been away for a couple of weeks so missed two whole rounds of fixtures, must say I really enjoyed these games.

Wigan continue their impressive start to the season. Great derby win against the Saints!!

 

[Red Bear]

Enjoyable game the St Helens Wigan match, great atmosphere and looks like a great old ground to watch footy at, sad it's going but thems the breaks.

 

[Tipster]

How bad are the Quins? Had a 10 day break and still get flogged by the Robbins.

Looks like the spoon is going to the Stoop this season

Very sad its going. Saints V Wigan is one of the great sporting confrontations in any code in any country. It is a legendary clash which has been played out so often in such old athmospheric surrounds.

With Central Park going some years ago nad now Knowsley Rd we may be seeing progress but at a cost in nostalgia.

 

[Johnny_L_O]

Knowsley Road is a sh*thole. Should have been demolished years ago. Wakefield and Cas should be kicked out if they aren't sorted by next year also. And the Saints fans don't make that much noise. It's a fair bet that Wigan out shouted them. The gantry can almost be touched from where the home fans are it's that close. Best atmosphere in SL is Craven Park.
