Ooh shiny

I imagine channel 9 over here as they have the NRL rights

Who'll you be barracking for?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

GB obviously

We will hopefully provide a stiff test but they will be favourites

England

 

[Stan Hullis]

It will be 3-0 and we won’t bet close to them. The gap in ability is too large now IMO.

Panthers took a beating from the Bunnies.

Was this the bunny?

Cas getting ripped up by Hull FC.

First half the bunnies were almost unplayable and Penrith were appalling

NRL is of a higher quality in every department really. Faster pace, bigger players, higher intensity, greater competition. More money in the game and more interest in the sport in general.

I don't necessarily believe that there's a huge gap in ability in terms of ball handling and skillset. As witnessed in recent World Club challenge matches, the SL teams can compete in one off games. However, the depth of talent available to the Kangeroos is far superior to the English team.

There doesn't seem to be a massive difference in terms of forwards tbf. Their forwards are still better overall, but a good number of English forwards have dominated Super League, gone to the NRL and been hugely successful over there too.

Should have been 40

Never seen the Panthers that bad. Couldn’t tackle, couldn't complete a set. Yeo had a poor game, as did Liam Martin and they really missed cleary

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Got to deliver some furniture in an hour with a mate who is a Panthers fan. Should be fun

Tim Lafai quits as Salford fail to pay staff again

Salford have confirmed their players and staff at the crisis-hit Super League club have not been paid on time for the second month in a row.
