Right now there is a lot of talk about restructuring the Super League and Championship competitions. Some of the idea’s on the table seem alright. Others are completely ridiculous and should not even be up for consideration. The problem with all of the options being put up for discussion right now is that they do…
So the 2012 Super League season wasn’t the best, and heading into 2013 there is nothing to indicate the upcoming season will be any better. Lets not start off on a bad note though! Sure the competition still doesn’t have a naming rights sponsor and clubs are bleeding red ink like every day is that…
The 2013 World Club Challenge between the Melbourne Storm and Leeds Rhinos will be played at Headingley Stadium in Leeds. Shocking I know… It was mid October when the same old people in England started talking about trying to play the World Club Challenge in Australia. I wrote that The World Club Challenge Won’t Be…
The Leeds Rhinos have defeated the Warrington Wolves 26-18 to take out yet another Super League title. The game wasn’t all that great in terms of quality but English fans seemed to enjoy it. Both teams had their chances to go on and win the game but at the end of the day Leeds experience…
So here we are again, back to Old Trafford to completely fuck up Manchester Uniteds FA Cup run! Some years it is hard to chose who is going to win the Grand Final, and this is one of those years. On one side you have the Leeds Rhinos, a team that looks completely busted. They…
It’s week two of the Super League Playoffs and lets hope this weekend we see a game or two that isn’t over by halftime. I don’t think any of the teams that will play thios weekend really have a chance of winning the Grand Final. Leeds might once again come home with a wet sail…
The Rugby Football League’s licencing system has come under fire recently after the financial collapse of the Bradford Bulls showed it up for what it really was. The grading of clubs in such black and white terms was completely ridiculous. Putting clubs into different categories was always going to lead to problems simply because so…
It has been generally accepted that 8 teams is too many for the Super League playoffs. There are simply not enough quality teams in Super League to justify so many teams qualifying for the finals series. Most people believe the ideal number of teams would be five, but that is a problem in terms of…
Its the business end of the season ladies and gentlemen and as we head into the playoffs there are so many questions to be answered. Will Warrington choke again? Will Wigan put in this year? Can Leeds come from no where and win it again? Who will beat St Helens in the Grand Final? One…

The Bulls released a statement today pleading with fans to donate £100 each to save the club. They claimed they need to raise around £1,000,000 to survive and £500,000 just to survive through…
I always find it funny when Super League Imports talk up the quality of Super League and its players. The vast majority of the time I think its just about knowing who butters your bread. Other times I think it just comes down to a player or a coach trying to convince themselves that they are no…
A salary caps job is to do two things. First and foremost, its designed to stop clubs spending more than they can afford. When the salary cap has not been in effect in sports, you see clubs falling over chasing dreams they simply can not afford. The second thing a salary cap does is even…

I don’t like the mindset of British Rugby League players. I think from a very early age they are built up to be something they are not. I think their priorities are completely skewed and I think they have no idea about basic skills of the game, and they generally don’t care about their standing…
Warrington has won its first Challenge Cup Final in over 30 years by downing Huddersfield in a game that was terrible, frustrating and gives me little hope for the English game. I don’t watch much Super League football these days because its so frsustratingly bad. I always like to catch the big finals though, and…
