  1. RU certainly is strong at this level in Yorkshire but if these clubs do have second teams won't they already be in the league structure at a lower level.There's no need to count them twice
  2. Agree about Fozzard he's really struggled to have an impact this year and is a year or two past his best.Emmitt on the other hand has really surprised me late in the season and has really looked the part these last few weeks.
  3. It doesn't matter who Saints release if they have played the required number og games their full salary will count on the cap.I don't think it will be a problem because with it only being for two or three games only a tiny percentage of Smiths salary will count on Saints cap.
  4. Slowing down a twenty metre restart has been an automatic sin binning for two or three years at least and players and coaches know this.
  5. You have to play a certain number of games before your full salary counts on the cap(6 I think).
  6. A very pivotal game for me as far as the play offs are concerned.If Leeds can find enough form to win at Wigan i would make them favourite to go on and win the grand final.A Wigan win would for me finish Leeds off and really open it up and any from Wigan Wires Saints could go on to win it and I would find almost impossible to split them
  7. A ticking off for both players and a penalty to Leeds if only to see which way Bailey would run from the tap
  8. That for me is the fairest way to get the best games on the weekend rather than cherry picking derby matches.If you took the league as things stand now the fixtures for next year would be. Wigan v Wire Saints v Hull Leeds v Hudds HKR v Crusaders Cas v Wakey Bradford v Quins Salford v Catalan That fixture list isnt bad and the same system could be followed every year to prevent the same teams playing each other each year.
  9. Isnt the Aussie school system is out of sink with ours anyway so if we play their under 16 they would have a 6 months head start on us and if we play their under 15 we would have a 6 months head start on them.Hardly a massive difference and I can totally see why the Crusaders wouldn't want to put their youngsters against older players.
  10. We had 17 that were a grade C or better last time.This time I wouldn't be surprised if there are 20 clubs that reach that level.
  11. As has already been said in recent seasons Saints haven't really gone for big name coaches.Though it could be argued that during most of SL they haven't really needed one because of the quality of the senior players at the club.The last couple and certainly the next few years are slightly different and I think they would be better with a more experienced head coach.
  12. People always say when you meet him he's nothing like he is on the tele But come on......
  13. The biggest problem with this is how you fund it.I bet the ten clubs in the SL prem would be close to
  14. I know what your saying but I'm not sure it's as easy as other clubs matching the wage Sale are offering.Given the lads age wouldn't SL teams have to pay Wigan a transfer fee which would probably put off most SL teams from taking a punt on him.
  15. I think it's the refs call with the zero tackle you don't have to gain ground to claim an advantage.As long as team red haven't lost too much ground and the player had full control of the ball
  16. If West Ham move in they want it keeping/developing into a 55/60000 seater stadium which would make it a waste of time for Quins anyway
  17. If Wigan have sold 20000 and Wires have an allocation of 3500 that would be getting toward only 1000 seats left.
  18. You haven't lived until you've seen an Italian police officer guiding traffic at a busy junction.Its like an art form.
  19. Didn't Widnes have a red Addidas away shirt around that time.If my memories not playing tricks I thought that was a great strip.
