Superleague 2010

Not seen a thread dedicated to this season.

I'd originally thought that Leeds would be head an shoulders above everyone else this season, but after the first 3 rounds it looks like it's going to be a hell of a scrap between quite a few sides for the top spots

The game at Warrington tonight was fantastic.  Of course, as a Wigan fan the result was briliant - but with 5 minutes to go I was actually thinking that even if Warrington win, it's been a hell of a match to watch.  What a great advert for the game.

yep  great game tonight.

Leeds have been crap to say the least this season. For 70mins vs the welsh team it was evens, lost to cas and wakey beaten by the better team. Beat Salford but only just! no idea why we been so shit, world club championship next week at Elland road, i would back the aussies

Leeds have a 2-point start with the bookies for tomorrow's game.  Home advantage counts for a lot for Leeds with the support they have, but the team isn't looking anywhere near top form and there are a few key players out injured.  Will be a tough night for them I think, but hopefully they can pull out a good performance.

As for Wigan, a 58-0 win over Catalan was good to see. Especially chuffed to see Pat Richards score most of the points.  He's been one of the most consistent players in the Superleague over the past few seasons and doesn't get the plaudits as often as he should imo.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/super_league/8530794.stm

Bradford v Wigan tonight.  Should be an interesting one to see how well Wigan are playing.  'Should' be a comfortable win for Wigan based on the form of both teams so far this season but who knows?

The bookies are only offering Bradford a 6 point head-start, so they think it'll be a close one.

wow 20-0 up and lose it, gg Bradford mental second half.

Wigan will be pissed.

Wigan will be pissed.

Shocking second half, and disastrous error by Roberts with two minutes to go.  On the first, he goes looking to make a break in his own half, when he should have run at the first Bradford player and then hit the floor.  Up the jumper time, not the time to try and score from 80m.  Bradford battled well, but Wigan threw it away. 

I can imagine Madge will read them the riot act and training will be tough this week.

[Acidmouse]

yeah Wigan just didn't play smart towards the end, incred match though.

[Girgy85]

Didnt see the match but GTFI BULLS!!!

[kinboshi]

So with Wigan showing their inability to win a game they're completely dominating and throw away a 20-point lead, it shows just how open this year's competition is.

Obviously no team should be unduly concerned now, as it's more about form at the end of the season than the start.  I still see Leeds getting stronger towards the business end and being the side to beat, along with stains and Warrington, and hopefully Wigan.

CMON BULLS!!!
