I know it's only round 1. But i was a little surprised by last nights scoreline. I thought Wigan would come out and blast Leigh away like they usually do and Leigh would struggle. Hard to ascertain if last night was a one off or a taster for things to come this season.
My thoughts are that i think we will find it tougher this year. I think the league will be more competitive. Last season we had Leeds, Cas & Huddersfield struggle. Hull & London barely winning any games all season. We had Leigh struggle for 2/3 of the year and only came good towards the end. Saints were bang average for most of the year and didn't really threaten us in the top four and Catalans were the same. That only left Salford, Wigan & Hull KR as our main rivals. I feel that 2025 will see Leeds & Saints more of a challenge to us. I think Hull will be more competitive and based off last night Leigh will be up there. I just hope we get it right on the field and the pessimist in me think we could finish 4/5th slightly lower than last year. I hope Sam proves me wrong.

Thought Castleford were on TV tonight, just that I have only heard them talk about HKR for over 20 mins now. Is this the thing for this season a love in for HKR

There is a big Hull KR love-in at the minute. It is usually Leeds. Although they did a video on sky youtube titled as 'SL 2025 Preview' and Jenna Brooks just talked to Brad Aurthur for 30 minutes with no mention of any other teams. I find this quite poor from Sky.

Hull in front at Catalan

I know it’s only the first games but Mcbanana will likely be the favourite to be first coach sacked Hull are all over them.

Great game. Tex Hoy was never going to kick that. John Wells spouting rubbish saying it was the correct decision. If you had a decent kicker in the team then yes but i'd have tapped it and gone for a drop goal as they were 10m out.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Fri Feb 14, 2025 10:07 pm  

Find it mind boggling that Hoy went for the two. You kinda knew he would miss it, I would have just got close to the posts and I think they would have had a better chance at the one point. Lewis celebrated like they just got to a Grand Final at the end.

By the way 3 games played 2 games won by drop goal, who said goals don’t win games
