Super League XXII 2017

[deal.with.it]

Strange considering hasler and bulldogs are ready to announce his new contract

 

[Harrigan]

Leeds are doing exactly what they need to do. They are playing wel wikthout setting the world on fire. If you take the Castleford game as a "one off" in the same way you do Wigans 66-0 loss to Wakefield last year, they've won 5 out of 6 of the others averaging a 26-12 win. Bearing in mind they still have half a pack to come back, they should be in for a decent year.

Worried about Catalans - they're firmly on the wrong end of the ladder if Castleford put a score on them tomorrow.

Side note - Why does SL often have 3 or 4 Friday night games and no Saturday games? What am I meant to watch on Sunday morning??

It's a silly system. They must let the clubs decide when they want to play. They need to have regular scheduling, 1 thurs, 1 fri night, 2 sat and the rest Sunday or something similar.

Its because not all games are broadcast live on sky..its not like down under,another failing of our tv rights..

Personally I feel the live rights should be split up to ensure full rounds are broadcast live..so

1 game on Thursday night's - sky
1game on Friday night's - sky

3 games on Saturday - sky

1 Sunday afternoon game - BBC/a.n.other

Even if they aren't all broadcast they could at least have a consistent 1 per day or something.

Also - are all games played at night? I could be wrong here but it seems like Catalans home games are the only ones played in daylight hours?

 

[roughyedspud]

Yeah pretty much open

Why do all NRL games kick off when I'm either sleeping or working? What's that all about?

Don't really get much coverage of super league here in nz... Just wanna know how Krisnan inu is going over there in the super league... Big fan of him when he was in the nrl

I'm enjoying SL this year, it is easily the most wide open competition in it's history.

It's been great,loving Castleford I hope they can maintain the challenge after being early pace setters

All Catalan home games are on Sky Sport, along with 2 other SL games each week.

He goes ok. Has he moments where he looks good and other times when he struggles. Typical Krisnan over his career

[CC_Roosters]

Catalans form a worry. I have not.caught them on tv this year, is it discipline or just quality letting them down?

Seems like Salford will have a good year, Carney should carry them deep into the season injury free

 

[JasonE]

Another interesting game this morning, its great to see Cas playing such an attractive style even though they weren't at their best. I still think Wigan will be the team to beat when they get some stars back.
More great games tonight when Hull play Salford and Leeds v Wire.

 

[adamkungl]

Just me or do SL teams seem to have a stupid amount of injuries most of the time. Wigan's entire back 5 was out, plus more

Only recently. Leeds played the first half of last season with an average of 8 out a game. This year they only have 5 out so far but it peaked at 8 for the Cas game. All forwards too.

 

[Harrigan]

Also, who at the start of the season would have thought Castleford v Wakefield would be the biggest good Friday "Derby" game!
