So no obvious reason you can think of as to why that may have happened...not one?

You really are one shape shifting bandwagon jumper

I was applauding his commitment to negativity, not really what he was saying.

It must take a lot of effort to search for things to be unhappy about to the level he does. In its own way, its impressive.

Be sure to only post reductions in SL attendances.
Where crowds are higher for the corresponding fixtures, this can only be a blip as it clearly doesnt fit your personal agenda.

Bl**dy hell you've amused me I'm close to liking this post of yours - stop it

Huddersfield V London attendance in 2013 = 5,273

Widnes v Saints 2012 - 7,023

Up 18.5%

But you knew that anyway didn't you?

Castleford V Leeds attendance in 2013 = 9,103
Castleford V Leeds attendance in 2012 = 9,237
Attendance down by 1.45%

Its obviously worth noting that some fans who'd bought tickets to Friday's game couldn't attend today, knocking a bit of the attendance.

By the way, the champions just lost to one of those nowhere-nearly rans.

Same old, same old.
God I wish I was an Aussie.

Leeds losing at Cas is very common. Especially early in the season.

I have no idea why Sky don't always show Cas-Leeds. It's by far Leeds' most difficult away game outside of Wigan/Saints/Wire and pretty much every year serves up a belter.

Boring and predictable ?
Only 2 teams left with 100% records and 2 teams yet to register a win.
Great result for Cas today in a game where i wanted both teams to lose and it looks
like another good performance from Widnes and although it's early days, it looks as though
just about every team may be capable of making the 8, with the possible exception of Salford
who will need some time to get their full squad assembled.

Maybe we ough to have a team of the week thread ?

I want an attendance percentage comparison of the week. It's fascinating

Combined total attendance of each teams first home game of the season...

SUPER LEAGUE
2012 = 140,734
2013 = 134,196

Down 4.6%

NRL
2011 = 340,057
2012 = 314,518

Down 7.5%

The 3 games that really did the damage to the SL total
SAINTS v HUDDS = 3,544 down on Saints 2012 opener
LONDON v WIDNES = 2,068 down on London 2012 opener
HUDDS v LONDON = 3,596 down on Hudds 2012 opener

Sounds like two more cracking close games at Wakey and Cas today.

Its still early days but most teams are competing well so far and taking points off each other, with just Salford (for obvious reasons) and London struggling to get anything going.

Salford vs Hull KR tonight, what a load of boring predictable unexciting rubbish eh?



Have to say though.......Omari Caro what the hell? Go for the line sunshine!

What the hell?? I turned off, becoming bored at the unfolding HKR procession!

One of HKR's problems last year was their inability to hold onto a lead. Looks like it might still be an issue.

A cert to score until he remembered he needed a Salford win for his three timer at Ladbrokes.

It was harder to mess that up than score it, took more effort to put on the breaks than head for the corner. Absolutely baffling decision

hull krs problem is that they never put in for the full 80 mins, often only performing for half a game. oh that and sandercock is rubbish

Yes, he needed to back himself and go for the corner.Eden should have passed just before that though when they had a 2 on 1 overlap and a walk in try so he wasnt the only one to choke.

Both teams have loads to work on in defence but there was some good tries and it was a good watch in the last 20 as the Reds came back to get their first win.Am glad for them.

Oh, and the two reds at the end for the scuffle at the scrum was a joke IMO,sin bin at worst.

error strewn bet very entertaining game and well done Salford for never letting their heads drop!!

rovers fans not happy with sandercock on their message board - march will be a crucial month for him. rovers need to be looking at 6 points from 10 minimum in march to get back on track.

will a derby win save his skin?
