  1. When I read his post I read him saying that the majority (which I take as more than half) would get walloped "by the four teams on show" - namely Roosters, Broncos, Souths and Manly. Four of the biggest clubs in the NRL. There is nothing remotely outlandish about that claim IMO. Most of the bottom half of SL get walloped by the top half of SL let alone some of the biggest clubs in the NRL.
  2. Nobody, including the person you quoted, said every SL side would get walloped by every NRL side. That is your straw man.
  3. We all know where we stand. The best SL teams would be competitive, below the top two or three it would be embarrassing. Pretending that our best side winning the WCC changes that is daft.
  4. Think this will be much closer than everyone is suggesting, and should be a good game to watch.
  5. The “winning try” was scored on 55 minutes. Still plenty of time for Penrith to win the game but they weren’t good enough to and appeared to be trialling a new strategy of getting caught on the last and/or doing nothing with the ball.
  6. Thought Morgan Knowles was truly huge in this game. Brilliant performance, more like his old self
  7. Great event to be at, enjoyed it. No question that Wigan were hanging in and got the benefit of the calls (Wardle try wasn’t great but the ball steal one was a real shocker) but they were resilient and defended brilliantly well. But Penrith had the benefit of some marginal calls last year (Hopoate disallowed forward pass try being one) when the game was played with their ref under their rules. So suck it up - great NRL sides have come to the UK and taken the ref out of the game, Penrith couldn’t.
  8. I turned off after about 60 seconds when they talked about Marshall and Miski being “two big bodies” in the Wigan back three - they’ve obviously never seen Wigan play. This stuff is precisely why I always want the NRL side to lose even when it’s Wigan opposing them. Cant wait for the game - will be there. I will stop short of actively supporting Wigan but I certainly won’t be supporting Penrith!
  9. Derek Beaumont isn't around to sign them off.
  10. Sounds like Leigh lost their opener . . . .
  11. The games weren’t the greatest but I must have missed the period in time when torrential downpours in the first game of the season was a recipe for brilliant rugby. The biggest culprits for ruining a game that I watched were the players of Hull FC not the ref or the rules.
