OT - one of the reasons for Super League

[F.Slater]

Am I losing my mind, or was one of the excuses for the formation of Super League that the top teams, scoring 40 or 50 points per game against lower opposition, and that games where 60 or 70 points were scored were not good from a spectator perspective. AND, that Super League would produce closer and better matches.

This weekend we have seen a game between the team in 3rd v the team in 12th produce 92 points

A team in 9th absolutely crush a team in 11th by 41 to 0 points away from home

The average points scored in a SL this season game tops 30

Wigan have scored 50 points or above 4 times up to now this season

The lowest english based club have posted 50 points at least once this season

This is progress and what Super League was going to produce ?

I can well remember Rovers thrashing Wakefield 52 - 0 in a local derby, but that for me was a once in a lifetime occurance, not something that should be happening in a top league on a weekly basis.

We now have those 2 idiots Eddie and Stevo saying that it's brilliant. And that the standard of rugby is the best ever. Personally I think that the modern game is ######, especially defensively.

And we have far too much reliance on second rate Australian and NZ imports

Don't get me started on the failings and wrongs of Super league. Everything about it is wrong and harmful to the game of Rugby league.
