chrisobee Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Easy in the end for Wigan. Been the best team all season and with Pat Richards and Sam Tomkins have had the best 2 players. Yep, in relative terms it was pretty easy. No doubt Wigan were the best team over the season and finally after 12 years won another Grand Final. Richards and Tomkins have been great but for me strength in depth was the key factor along with Maguire managing to rejuventate players like Fielden and Gleeson. Good to see Fielden back in the England squad though how McNamara can leave out Gleeson is somewhat of a mystery, for me he was player of the match in the Grand Final.
chrisobee Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Wigan will win it. Wigan, Saints final I reckon with Huddersfield and Hull missing out. Leeds will have to improve massively and with their injuries, can't see them doing it. Agreed, I think Wigan have underachieved in the regular season the last few years and though they have played well in the play offs I'd be really surprised if any team could win the Grand Final without at least being in the top 3. Wigan really do seem to have a lot of strength in deep, even being able to allow Sean Ainscough and Chris Tuson to go out on loan. Can't feel sorry for Leeds, I really don't like them ! Good calls
krissyboy31 Posted 22 October, 2010 Posted 22 October, 2010 England Team for the 4 nations match v New Zealand, which unusually is live on the Beeb tomorrow (8am): Widdop (Melbourne); Goulding (Wigan), Shenton (Castleford), Atkins (Warrington), Briscoe (Hull); Brown (Huddersfield), Sam Tomkins (Wigan); Fielden (Wigan), Roby (St Helens), Graham (St Helens, capt), Ellis (Wests Tigers), Burgess (South Sydney), O'Loughlin (Wigan). Subs: Robinson (Huddersfield), Griffin (Huddersfield), W******d (Warrington), Joel Tomkins (Wigan). Will miss Pea****, Wellens, Pryce and Morley but still a decent team. Thought Widdop might have been dropped after the Maori game with Sam Tomkins dropping to Full Back.

Thought Widdop might have been dropped after the Maori game with Sam Tomkins dropping to Full Back. Can't see us winning to be honest and neither can the bookies who make NZ 2/9 to win. Don't know a lot about Widdop, a very surprising selection for me. Would definitely have taken Martin Glesson especially with Keith Senior out of contention. T'is actually live on BBC1 though from 7.30am, kick off 8.00am so I aim to stay awake to watch it and hope I'm wrong and we win Sam Tomkins might well be a bigger threat at scrum half which it seems is where he will play, shame Leuluai is at hooker in a way though I reckon he's better at scrum half anyway. Heart says England by 2-4 points, head says NZ 18-10.
chrisobee Posted 23 October, 2010 Posted 23 October, 2010 Unfortunately my head was right, 24-10 to NZ.
krissyboy31 Posted 23 October, 2010 Posted 23 October, 2010 Terrible first half but showed a bit of fight in the second. The 2nd Try, finished by Widdop was class!!
Hatch Posted 23 October, 2010 Author Posted 23 October, 2010 England were never quite there, always though NZ had another gear if required.

krissyboy31 Posted 28 October, 2010 Posted 28 October, 2010 Not impressed. Hull v Rovers the final game on Sunday evening. We usually go to Magic Weekend (2 at Cardiff, 2 at Edinburgh) but doubt we'll bother this time because it's not Bank Holiday weekend this year, so the nipper will have school on the Monday morning.
krissyboy31 Posted 20 November, 2010 Posted 20 November, 2010 Fixtures for next season coming out on Monday.
krissyboy31 Posted 22 November, 2010 Posted 22 November, 2010 http://www.facebook.com/uksuperleague Rhinos first up for Hull FC.
Master Bates Posted 29 November, 2010 Posted 29 November, 2010 James Roby signs new 4 year contract, get in!
krissyboy31 Posted 3 December, 2010 Posted 3 December, 2010 Hull KR seem to have pirated our kit for the new season. As a Hull FC fan with a Saints mini-kit hanging from the back of my car, this leaves me with a bit of a dilemma!!
chrisobee Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Today's the day, 3pm, COME ON SAINTS! Yay, they won the Karalius Cup
Master Bates Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Yeah first bit of silverware Stunning fight back against the Wiggers too.
krissyboy31 Posted 17 February, 2011 Posted 17 February, 2011 First game of the season for me tomorrow. The Whinos at the KC. Hopefully see Obst make his debut.
krissyboy31 Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Good to see Widnes Vikings given a franchise for next season. Should have got it 3 years ago!!

Danny R Posted 16 April, 2011 Posted 16 April, 2011 Went to my first Super League game last night at the Stoop. Got one of the 5k tickets from the standard - bit sad only 4k turned out as it was a great game and a great advert for Rugby League. Deffo be going again.
krissyboy31 Posted 22 April, 2011 Posted 22 April, 2011 Brilliant day at the KC Stadium today. Great weather, great match, great atmosphere and great result!!
krissyboy31 Posted 3 February, 2012 Posted 3 February, 2012 New season starting tonight. Widnes off to a good start on their plastic pitch.
Dr Who? Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Blimey a lot of people like egg chasing/peanut hugging on here. Me cannot stand the sport, for some reason one of my most hated sports, but I do not know why. Perhaps I should seek therapy as I think I should like it.
krissyboy31 Posted 2 July, 2012 Posted 2 July, 2012 In an alternative Administration to the slippery cheats down the road, the Bradford Bulls (one of the biggest names in Rugby League) have made 16 redundancies today, including their Chief Exec and complete coaching staff, including head coach Mick Potter. They really look like going to the wall with a tax bill of £300k (peanuts in P*mpey terms).
krissyboy31 Posted 22 January, 2015 Posted 22 January, 2015 Official Launch of the New Super Leaue season tonight.
