Super League

The official Engage Super League thread..

Post all news on the Super League right here!

Union is far better.

The Super League has now started.. into round 3 now i think.

Latest headlines have been the blockbuster match in round 3.. Bradford vs St Helens which the Saints took out the win at Grattan Stadium with the return of their star Paul Sculthorpe.

Any Super League fans out there?! come along and share ur passions and views about the English Competition.

I bumped into James Graham last night after the game against the Bulls . He was shopping in Asda , I'd been working so I'd missed the result , and he was able to fill me in on the details .

He had what looked to be the start of a cracking black eye and said he was tired

lol thats a nice story for the grandkids

I'm one of the night managers in Asda , and he comes in quite a lot . He's usually dressed in baggy jeans and a baggy sweatshirt , so he doesn't look that big . I thiught he'd appear massive up close , but he just looks like a normal bloke .

Anyway , back to Super League , although I hate that name , just as I hate all the new nicknames .

Very pleased with the Saints' win at Bradford . It might be what we need to put us back on track after the Grand Final loss , and then the loss on the opening day of this season .

I'm sure we'll make the play offs , but in order to get to Old Trafford again , I think we'll need home advantage , so it's imperative that we finish in the top 2 .

Leeds look strong again ; I'm sure Bradford will be up there .........just hope the f***ing Pie Eaters get relegated .

Bradford will be contenders again dont u worry, its only the start of the season, long way to go and if u know Bradford as well as i do, you'll know im right

Unfortunately it looks as though my team are gonna get the wooden spoon this season,but luckily there's no relegation this season so we can get used to this season and rebuild for next year

Who is your team?

Castleford Tigers

we are not in the super league but i support widnes vikings
just hope we get into the franchise next season.

And you're laughing because?

Agreed.

Because i remember the day when Castleford were a sorta decentish team. Now there just pretty embarrasing to be honest

Wrong .

Union used to be a great game when there was a contest for possession at all times . Now the lineouts are largely uncontested ; rucks and mauls are virtually non existent , with players taking the ball into contact and recycling without an opponent's hand in sight . The Southern Hemisphere teams are trying to outlaw scrummaging , when was the last time you saw a strike against the head ?

Without the forward battle for possession Union has become a slower version of League .

True, very true. Its become a slow game, needs some rules changing around to bring back the fast pace it used to have. Attacking rugby

I still much prefer watching Union, although i do not mind League.

Only like international Rugby myself.

Yorkshihre derby this week. Bradford and Leeds in the first of 4 derbys this year. Im hoping the Bulls can win and get themselves up near the top of the table. 6th isnt good enought for us

So why make this thread and keep updating it if you only like international Rugby?

Is it just some kind of novelty Bradford thing?
