  1. Wigan deserved to win........Penrith looked clunky in attack and obviously didn't prepare well enough. But you want all the major decisions to be correct in games like these.
  2. But the ref was from wigan for a game in wigan featuring wigan...........for a world club final.........you see how that doesn't look great? Playing devils advocate....if you want a try awarded where there's loads of players in the way.......the ref can just send it up as a try and it won't get overturned unless there's obvious proof to the contrary on video..... and vice versa. It's a stupid rule........ if the ref isn't sure enough to award a try then the video ref should decide..........it should NOT go up to video ref as a 'Try' or 'No try'.........In other words if the ref isn't sure and video evidence isn't there it should never be a try.........Ref's can always just award a try that is debatable straight away based on what they see.......but this way you'd avoid a try being given where there's zero video evidence for it as was the case with Wardle.
  3. Well Played Wigan Brilliant defensive display against arguably the best NRL team of all time. It'a all good PR for those outside the bubble for Super League in front of a good FTA audience. Probably not a good look appointing a video ref from Wigan who gave a few big calls the wrong way in Wigans favour but nobody will care about that outside RL circles. Also just shows how good that Penrith side is........first Pre season game.......played a kid in place of Luai........and barring a dodgy ref might well have beaten the best team in SL on their own patch.
  4. They'd be better off concentrating on the USA........Which I think they probably are. Even if SL was open to the idea.........I really don't see how it would benefit the NRL. It'll be clickbait ahead of the WCC.
  5. The WCC live on BBC is a huge deal........ I hope they promote the hell out of that and give it the production and coverage that it deserves. I lot of people that don't give a monkeys about Super League will want to watch that game.
  6. We looked miles off.......lost to a team we hammered in the first game........ they looked exhausted and naive in that semi. If you prefer Shaun Wane and McNamara to Wayne Bennett then good luck to you
  7. I don't like my job half the time but I'm not turning down the money.........clearly he didn't take the GB job too seriously Probably should have given the tour to someone else. He's interested in winning world cups and we'd have been a better side with him in charge for the last one IMO.
  8. Put it this way........a NZ team coached by Wayne Bennett will be far too good for the current England team...........and Samoa and Tonga. The Aussies will be worried.......hence V'landy's stupid comments. FWIW I don't think he wanted to do that GB Tour........and he doesn't seem the type to put much effort into something he doesn't want to do.
  9. I like how Hull rarely mess with their home kit........it's how it should be IMO. Most of the NRL clubs keep their home designs pretty much the same every season too. It helps build brand recognition in a sport that has very little.
  10. I remember that.........typical Rugby League. NewEra was the official headwear supplier but couldn't use any countries' official branding England Below I think they'd have sold a lot more of these with the actual England badge on.
  11. A pretty horrible set of kits this year....... really struggling to find any designs with merit..........Toulouse is the best I'd say. Bradford's is simple and decent enough.........nice to see Cas back in Amber and Black rather than dodgy West Tigers rip off colours........My team Fev have revived a kit design from 34 years ago but forgot to put anything on the back. I remember moaning about the lack of high profile brands in the game when nearly every club had ISC kits. Now most teams have OXEN or Ellgren I wish we still had ISC I'd hope IMG are working on getting some cooler brands interested........New Era caps would be a start. Special mention goes to Wigan for giving their neighbours Leigh a run for their money........Those 3 new Wigan Kappa kits are terrible but Leigh are still top dogs (or Leopards) when it comes to bad jerseys........somehow this years Leigh kits look less amateurish but more ugly
  12. I think you know what I was getting at.......
  13. True but they probably don't say they aren't accepting any more English or Dutch players cos they want to expand into new areas.
  14. When you watch darts you don't get the impression the sport has an inferiority complex and is desperate win new fans expand and bring in more money at any cost. They don't constantly bang on about how Darts need to expand into new territories to survive. Every darts match matters cos if you lose you are out....... lose too many and you wont come back next season. Just a few points Rugby league could learn from Darts.
  15. Darts is and individual sport aimed at adults with lots of booze and a handful of showpiece events a year........we can take bits from it but it's not really comparable to regular team sports like Rugby League. If the RFL or SL rans last nights even they'd be playing the "this is a family game.........." announcement over the top of the drunken singing every 10 minutes
