if you wanna play that game though...in 2011 leeds finished 5th in ESL and beat manly in the 2012 WCC.......


so.....whats your point?

Well that's impossible, because it has to be Premiers vs Premiers. So at season's end they were placed first.

No point, just wanted to stir the pot. It worked.

What will it mean for the ESL if the 3rd placed team from the ESL can't beat the 11th placed team from the NRL, two weeks into their comp, under conditions that they're used to?
Warrington finished 5th last season.

Don't believe everything you read on RLfans.

Warrington officially finished 3rd because they were the highest ranked loser in the semis, just as the Bulldogs finished 2nd in the NRL even though we finished low in the table.

I don't really care.

Disappointed with the way Warrington played. Prob about 50% down on usual. To many mistakes by going for big hits. Should have ran it up with Hill and Westwood then go wide after that.
Shame Ratchford was injured, his flair would have been nice around the edges.

Atkins is now a bit lacking nowadays at this level, and Myler isn't good enough to be our long term half back.


Simms has to stop trying to be highlights machine. He is not good enough for that. Monaghan also had a quiet game.

On St George the half backs had a good kicking game, turned us around a lot. That was a big difference. Number 8 looked good and made an impact, but the rest of the forwards were not brilliant. In fact they were a bit soft. I can see how Cooper became such an important player there.

The big guy on the wing should have walked and was generally average. A guy that big should run harder.

Number 9 looked good.


To much messing around on the ball. A bit NRL like for my liking.

Also it seemed you were allowed to take people out during high kicks and high tackles will be punished with no more than a telling of. St George are not going to have a ref that bad in the NRL so need to be smarter than that going forward.

If reffed the same tonight though, Wigan are going to love it! ;-)




Oh and thanks to the sky cup Warrington finished 3rd.
I hated the horrible end of season, made for tv competition more than most as league places were 100% irrelevant to who wins what and who finished where in super league.
People like Evil Homer loved it. So to say what he is saying now is a bit strange.

Last year the comp finished Saints, Wigan, Wire, Catalan, Cas, Hudds, Leeds, Weirdness.

I don't think so.

Wigan have got a strong pack of forwards led by Sean O'Loughlin, good halves, elusive centres (especially Dan Sarginson), speedy wingers (Joe Burgess and Josh Charnley), and the iconic Matt Bowen at full back.

Joe Burgess on the wing is the speedster who is going to the powerful Sydney Roosters in 2016.

Brisbane are without their first choice full back Darius Boyd, and star centre Jumping Jack Reed.

Unless the legendary Remi Casty makes a guest appearance and scores a hattrick for both teams (switching between them at halftime of course) then i couldn't care less.
