The storm

Ralph is am administrator who ticks a lot of boxes But he is not a go getter or inspirational leader is he

Anyone ro keep the sale vultures out is fine with me

Tim lafai is a class centre

Have you heard of him The answer is no

Never heard of him

The salary cap makes everybody average and keeps at least 4 teams in super league who should not be there

And warrington

You really have to wonder what sort of clowns we have running the show.

Good effort I cant imagine its really that difficult to be in charge of the RFL

I think central funding should pay the top 40 frmale players say 30 grand each Is that a realistic amount

I forgot the giants will have a weakened team out So this will be close

Hull are the great under performers of the sport Wigan by 18-24

After the disastetous mid season losd of tony smith rovers need to up their game pretty quickly Catalan by 14 to 20

Even tie this one with salford having a good win against leeds Im not sure if salford bring enough to super league so castleford by 6 to 12

I personally hope toulouse can stay in the big time But huddersfield are doing really well and are the in form team. The giants by 20-24

Its a must win game for both teams really. Rohan smith must have brought some new energy to the place so i take leeds by 10-16

Warrington have floundered badly this year and we could also see the lack of power in the forwards St helens by 18-24

Mark aston always manages to assemble a decent team at sheffield, but from last sunday i can clearly see a lot of tactical improvement with widnes Id say widnes by 10-14

The broncos will be back in superleague within 3 years rebranded as the london Dons You heard it here first York and newcastle will also be there with plans for northwales crusaders in a 15 team super league Each team playing each other home and away

Many of us made the call about the warrington pack being too lightweight right at the start of tye season So why could nt warrington see it. Now fitzpatrick is off down under covering his tracks

Some rugby league web sites give us access to information although some are not very good

Id be more inclined to play the 2nd teams of super league teaks in this division and make it a 22 team league, but with no promotiom for the reserve teams. This will allow all around development and progression but will also mean that teams like cornwall will get well known rugby league teams

The problem always starts at the top Ralph rimmer Karl fitzpatrick James rule Gary hetherington Adam pearson Although these people are are rarely held to account

Warrington seem to be off target this year. Few adjustments needed

Im neither a wigan or huddersfield fan so was going to treat 2 family members to the challenge cup final. (so 3 people including myself) With all the costings of train and mid priced tickets and maybe two meals each and 4 pints each i was looking at £550 for a single day out. Maybe the london experience is no longer viable and more realistic options need to be looked at
