What about the player welfare?
Great advert for super league last night at elland road, the game had everything from controversy to stunning try's as well as a big crowd. I hope the clubs loon at more set piece games at larger venues each year. A couple spread across the season would do wonders for attendance.
Some worries about the competitiveness of Salford, Huddersfield and Catalans who are the bottom 3
Whether the Hull derby sells out is debatable. Hull fans won’t attend in the numbers they should due to the Hull KR chairman being stupid and cutting off his nose to spite his face. Several years ago the chairman decided that Hull would be the only team in SL to pay full price to stand at the end of the stadium. All other clubs received a significant discount to use the same area. To make things worse the area in question has small steps making it a poor view and is a long distance from the pitch hence the reason it is known as the Zeebrugge end to Hull fans. The ferry terminal from Hull to Zeebrugge is behind where they put the away fans. Many Hull fans would sooner watch on TV than travel a couple of miles and give Hudgell their money.I know I can be a dreamer, but any chance we might just see 4/6 sellouts for the Good Friday matches?
- Wakefield vs Castleford
- Hull KR vs Hull FC
- Warrington vs Widnes
- Salford vs Catalans
- Huddersfield vs Leeds
- St Helens vs Wigan
I believe Saints/Wigan is already officially a sellout. You would think the Hull derby won't be far off either. Hopefully with a big push and some good weather, the other two can sell out as well.
Ending a stunning comeback with a sideways play the ball.. classic
Well that's a shame. Also a shame that they didn't just hold this one at the KC, could have gotten 20k there!Whether the Hull derby sells out is debatable.

Hull KR’s chairman/owner is a long time fan and wears his heart on his sleeve sometimes to the detriment of his club. He tries to get one over Hull as much as he can or at least he used to do before him and Adam Pearson (Hull owner) became loved up. There’ll be a game at the Kcom later in the year.Well that's a shame. Also a shame that they didn't just hold this one at the KC, could have gotten 20k there!
yeah i knew they would get to host the match, but crowds are always better on Good Friday, so it would have been nice to have it then.
