Had seriously considered going to Wakefield today, but following Widnes's nailed on win against Wigan and Salford City's FA Cup draw at Congleton Town yesterday - meaning a replay on Tuesday night - I decided not to after all. Glad I made that decision now judging by the performance today.
The sooner they do away with all this mockery of a top 8 play-off sh*te the better, as clubs already guaranteed a place in it just don't give a flying fig about subsequent results which ultimately - and unfairly in my opinion -impact on the aspirations of a number of clubs in the lower half of the table. Some of the results I've seen recently have been a complete p*sstake and completely undervalue the league competition. Let's do away also with the two week breaks every time there are any Challenge Cup games. It's farcical when there are two semi-finals where even the teams own supporters can't be bothered going and we're expected not to play resulting in a loss of momentum and continuity. Rant over!
