south_tyne Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Leeds took another mauling last night. Listened to most of it on the radio and enjoyed the game. I have a bit of a soft spot for KR so pleased that they have had a solid start to the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 St. Helens fan here for my travails. They just seem unable to actually win the bloody trophies these last few years. Yes topping the league is great but please... Can you must get too and win a grand final... I don't go to matches these days because of my health but Knowsley Road was a place I loved - the popular sides very west end. Some great memories of great players and great games, I just wish you could get more games on the TV. I refuse to have anything to do with Sky... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted April 5, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2019 I was amused to see that today at least Keighley Cougars and Fort William FC have something in common that probably no other club in Britain has, or more accurately hasn't (though I suspect that in Keighley's case it won't last for long).

south_tyne Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 What a magnificent comeback by Cas last night! I listened to it on the radio and it was a fantastic game. Great advert for rugby league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Ah the old minus points position! They have already won two games mind so, I think you're right, the parallels are unlikely to last very long. It will take some doing to replicate the form of The Fort!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're missing Ryan Hall for some punch down the flanks and haven't recruited well. That aside, they have enough quality to turn it round. Rovers played the best I've seen for a couple of years and really need to stay fairly injury free now to get some consistency. Lunt's return has had an impact and Maguire seemed to be trying too hard in the first few games. He looks like he's relaxed to enjoy his last season now.

Lunt's return has had an impact and Maguire seemed to be trying too hard in the first few games. He looks like he's relaxed to enjoy his last season now. Definitely. I think the Ryan Hall factor is massive; having someone who can finish like that and guarantees tries is such an important thing and so difficult to replace once it's gone. I'll be very interested to see how he gets on in the NRL once he is back playing. I think you're right mind, they can turn it around. Despite the start to the season I still wouldn't be surprised to see Leeds make a charge towards the play-offs once things start to click. KR have started well, as have their cross-city rivals after that horrendous run from the back end of last season which hungover into this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite a fan of the concept and can see it being implemented in the long-term. I think the Championship is going to be absolutely fascinating this season. There are so many big teams in there. Lots of pressure on Toronto to deliver after falling at the final hurdle last season, I expect that they need to get into the Super League as quickly as possible from a financial perspective. They have started really well mind. I am very interested with my team (Bradford) being in there and another in York who I also follow and want to do well.

south_tyne Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Big win for St Helens last night against Warrington in the clash of teams at the top. Saints fans must be delighted at how things are going. Contrasts with the fortunes in neighbours Wigan who continue to endure a relatively difficult start to the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 It's the Challenge Cup again this weekend too. Big wins for Leeds and Salford against lower league opposition. Some more good games scheduled for this afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_tyne Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 The least surprising decision of the season was finally confirmed yesterday with Shaun Edwards confirming he isn't coming to Wigan next year. I wonder where they will turn next? Will Adrian Lam want to stay? Do the Wigan fans want him to stay on? It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

south_tyne Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Some cracking Good Friday fixtures, including the big derby games. Excellent crowds across the board. Well done to Saints and Hull for their comprehensive wins. Also to Salford for shocking Warrington, I certainly didn't see that coming! Wigan and Leeds remain right down at the foot of the table, both are going through difficult times, although a Rhinos win would certainly have been welcomed by their supporters.
