About time we had some proper sports in Sports Day, far too much wittering about wendyball.
Interesting year, not many teams seem stronger than last year, certainly my team, Wigan, are much weaker IMO. Should be Warringtons title on paper but can they'll have to get rid of the choker tag. St Helens could be dark horses under Brown too.

I can see Hull sneaking at least in to the top 5, they are one of the few teams who have recruited well.
Losing Finch and Leuluai at the same time is a massive blow for us, in the past Wigan have always been successfull when they've had great half backs, Green and Smith are a long way from that, a lot depends on Tomkins and Lockers.

TBF Leeds always hit the ground running. Hull will probably take a bit of time and losing Ellis like that will have thrown everything off.
Good start for us, obviously Salford should be easy pickings with the pre season they've had but its still good to nil a side and get some good points difference too.

Major dicking for Saints, at home too, that'll hurt Brown big time

Eddie is a massive fan, loved it how they couldn't beat our kids last week.
Shame Bousquet got banned, would've liked to see him do a similar job on Briers.

Catalan are screwed here, unless they do something special soon Warrington will rack up 30+.

Whenever I have caught bits of Super League I have enjoyed it to an extent but I cant make a connection with any of the teams.

Last weeks Wigan-Warrington game was a good one for a neutral, had a bit of everything that is good about the game.
It can be a difficult game to get into at first if you aren't really rooting for any side but it's worth sticking with IMO, it's a great mix of skill and strength.

London Broncos, geographically nearest team.
I see they haven't won a game yet this season so hopefully with my support that will change

not a bad idea really, might be best to stick to the top teams though, could get a bit disheartening if you pulled Salford out.
Tonight's game is probably going to be one for the purists, Castlefords most creative player is banned and Bradford have been having a difficult time of it recently.

London are another that have had their problems too, just when it looks like they are getting their act together it seems to fall apart for them, this will be another difficult season I reckon.
