Impressive from Hull, but they need to produce that level against the top teams too (as we do).

I thought the pundits were overrating Leeds in the off-season, but I didn’t think they’d be this bad. I expected Austin to be an effective runner behind that pack, even if he can’t organise play very well. He’s turned out to be a bit of a dud along with Sezer though.

I tell you, irrespective of your thoughts on the style and standard of play, watching the NRL now and the standard of officiating and speed and clarity at the play the ball is incomparable to SL.

Officials are letting players get on with it, there aren't cards flying like a hurricane in Card Factory and the players are focused with getting on with their game, rather than niggling and spoiling.

And yes, the standard of play is vastly superior. Not a single English team would prosper over there including SKYs wet dream team of choice, Saints.

Sod the rugby, what's happened to the pleasant Ms.Sampson?

It's like watching a different sport.

Not sure but that Emma Louise Jones on Premier certainly ate her greens as a child. She could wipe.my tackle count clean anytime etc etc

Spot on post. NRL is now such a joy to watch compared to SL, which has died since Madge stifled it and now with rules and punishment handed out by the RFL's version of Matthew Hopkins and John Stearne.

This post should be accompanied by a swan whistle.

Can someone PLEASE shove those drumsticks up that to553rs bottom.

He’d probably enjoy it. It would be closest he’d ever get to a shag.

is your enjoyment of a zinger box meal being spoilt by an individual at KFC?

Freakin’ hell. Come on Cas.

No arguing over that red card, jebus

Just watching Salford - Leeds now. How refreshing to see a Salford pack making so many yards with Andy Ackers looking lively at hooker. Can our team please take note !

I'd love to know how much Jai Field is on compared to some of our threequarters.

Hull fc's much vaunted props getting it done again.

Must admit, I do wonder how wigan manage to recruit nrl fringe 1st graders that are like off a shovel. By rights they shouldn't be be able to get a work permit, but they do, and they do.

Makes our recruitment look like….er….the absolute dog that it is.

Good competitive game of RL played at a good tempo.

I'm trying to remember seeing a player as outstanding as Field is at the moment. Any ideas?

Jamie Lyon?

You only have yourself to blame for the cascade of Saints supporters heading your way with fully loaded pitchforks. Led by the Happy one.

Early Sandow esp vs Wigan in [ithat [/igame

I was thinking of Martin Offiah.
But this fellow Field creates tries for himself from almost nothing. In the old days I reckon he'd have been hit very very hard.

Got to agree with that. He was basically unplayable for us, field isn't quite at that level.
