Beating Leeds 5 minutes to go , we will still be in second place going into next week

Its a shame that our own games in the SL seem to have taken a back seat. Its a great time for WID, Cas and Wire to take full advantage. OK its only 2 points but come the end of the season it can make all the difference.
Any team returning from the games in Australia will need more than a week to fully recover and the results come as no surprise.
Its a micky mouse comp anyway and its just been devalued even further.

I think it devalues the comp here
Somebody okayed it, somebody thought it was more important to fanny about in Oz.
I doubt any NRL club would come here 2 games in to their season.
Whilst Leeds are actually doing their bit for the WCC, which might be a load of carp anyway tbf, at least they had half a reason to go so you gotta feel some sympathy for them being a victim of their own success, but heck...they didn't have to go.
Wire, Cas and Widnes have won points the might not necessarily have taken, that could also be a factor come season end.
Nah, somebody's taking the p155.

Both Wigan and Hull could have played each other on the return to the uk. That way no teams handed an advantage.

Did Leeds blame the travel when they were outclassed in Aussie land ??

I thought it must be just coincidence and nothing to do with jet lag.
Three of our "top" clubs go off to Oz on a jolly, get beaten down there and come back and cant perform.
I think they should go down there during the Super 8's just to see if they were unlucky.

At least they've all filled their pockets but, it does seem that "every minute matters" may have been wrong.
You could argue that they are bringing the game into disrepute ??

It would be a real pity if any of them miss out by a couple of points, later in the season.
