My thoughts exactly, it’s easy to manipulate this system even With so called testing protocols, although, I believe Leeds v Catalans has been rearranged.

How do the rules work if you had X number of players out due to covid and X number selected for the representative game.
It seems reasonable to request a postponement under these circumstances.

More worrying for Leeds is they have only managed 8 games so far (against our 12).

Not too worrying as we work on % , we have won more games than Leeds but because we have played more games, they are above us

As far as the game was concerned, I was bored senseless and the total lack of crowd and atmosphere as a result of the RFL/ Super League shambolic management of the game leaves me more than concerned that the game is now entering the black hole of oblivion. Just saying.

Yep, can't believe I am typing this but I have to say that was the most disappointing win over Wigan that I have ever seen !!

I wouldn’t go that far but it could have been so much better.

I’ve watched the game since on Trinity TV and we played better than I thought. It was just frustrating that we made our errors at vital moments under no real pressure. Coming after the Cas game where we did similar I think it left us all a bit flat, well it did me.

All the same a win is a win.

It feels like a chore watching SL these days. Take the Saints/Wire game the other week, absolutely mind numbing. Something needs to happen to freshen the game up. New teams on TV would be a start.

The pundits were saying what a great game it was .The problem is with the pundits is .They believe it's a good game because it's the top teams , but when it's the smaller clubs there not interested
