How much deviation has there been and then apply to the top 6 but your point since 2003 is noted.

And of course all this means we have a very intensive competition and can produce teams for tests that compete and regularly wallop the Aussies.

Sorry for not seeing the obvious.

Wow. Your comprehension skills are really poor, aren't they? It's almost as though you're a bot programmed to recognise a word/phrase and then to write a stock 'response', as often as not completely unrelated to the content of the original comment.

My point was that, despite your assertion that the 'top four' are virtually nailed on, they haven't actually finished in those positions for a (relatively) long time, suggesting those positions aren't quite as easy to predict as you assume. I made no mention of the strength of the competition, the strength of the international team or the strength of anything else, apart from your particularly weak argument.

With Crusaders winning the Grand Final with a 60 yard Tony Duggan try. I can see it now.

Celtic v Salford, grand final for 2 years in a row. But in different leagues

The usual lot will battle out the play offs apart from Rovers taking the place of Catalans.
Also I think Rovers will be pumped for the Challenge Cup and with a bit of luck in the draw will lift the challenge cup.
Hull Fc will struggle and do battle with salford/celtic for the wooden spoon.

no doubt you will be doing the pumping

havn't seen anything in rovers signings that will improve them next season, only fozzard adds a little extra, providing he stays injury free

take away the SC deductions and they finished top 4 in 2007, and three of those four have finished top 4 in every season of SL,

only 5 clubs have contested a grandfinal, and only four have contested more than 1, and those 4 have contested every single GF bar 2006, when the other club, Hull made their one and only GF

its a pretty damning indictment of how competitive SL is
