Awful day given some of the scores, how anyone can say that the current number of clubs can be sustained with scores like today is beyond me.

As a Product RL works just not in its current format.

So which teams should go? Widnes and Hull KR presumably. The teams that a few days ago beat Hull and Warrington.

1/10

1?

Ok so you think the scores today have been accetable?

Come on?

Really?

Actually 0/10, I gave you 1 mark for punctuation but I realised you put the 'p' on product as a capital

Neither have your posts hence the contempt this has been treated with. Leeds lose today and it's 'told you so', win, as they did, and you still try crawl out of it. -1/10

0/10

According to our esteemed CEO of the RFL Mr. Nigel Wood yesterday...

<cough>

Sadler wrote a piece a week or two back pointing out some cricket scores that occured during a 12 team SL season. Also, the NRL threw up a 50 nil score this weekend.

tinkering with the number of clubs.....again.....will not address the issue.

I think the results (as risky as drawing conclusions from a small number of observations is) suggest that a few of the games today have revealed a gap that is less about quality and more about professionalism and preparation. The big contenders could put a second performance together, some of the others clearly couldn't.

The gap in base-line quality isn't really indicated by the Thursday/Friday scorelines.

Some of the teams that got big wins against more fancied opposition on Friday didn't back it up today.

Wigan fielded 14 or the 17 that played on Friday. Didn't seem to do their performance any harm.

It's less about size of squad, more about attitude and preparation.
