Big year for Rugby league this year with it being the World Cup back end of the year.

 

Hopefully Smiffs mob can have a decent season (they will have 4 points off us).

 

Widnes will be shit this year. Middle 8's for us.

 

Saints are shit.

 

Salford fans are manc benders.

 

That is all

I'm not. Backed them -36 when they made it 30-0 and then they switched off!

I can see Hull beating Cas and so that suggests realistically we have a Salford Hull Wigan and Leeds semi final line up. Leeds or Wigan for me everytime

I think Warrington will beat Wigan for some reason

because it is there cup final / their year

Is their such thing as rivalry in rugger. Does anyone get that worked up about it?

 Wigan v St Helens

Leeds vs Bradford

 

Castleford vs Wakefield

 

Hull vs hull kr

 

Plenty of other rivalries as well

Had a great night at the AJBell tonight cheering on the Salford Red Devils to a great victory over Wakefield to reach the Challenge Cup Semis. 80 mins from Wembley!

I can now understand Koukash's proposal following last night's attendance. Think the only chance is to get to the final, get a load of bandwagons going then hope a percentage return for home games in the regular season. The Grand final may be best for it but can't see anything else to get people attending

I agree, it's going to have to be years of consistent performances and a few trophies to turn in some decent attendances

Definitely. More so in towns without a football team in my experience.

My mates are big Swinton fans and they bloody hate Salford

I never understand why everybody goes yo the final, even when their team isn't in it.

 

Isn't RL about supporting the game first and then an actual team as a secondary thing?

Exactly. The magical weekend sums it up for me. Why?

I tend to watch Wigan, Leigh and Salford in that order.. 

 

I was on a course at the DW at beginning of the month, and they have their full trophy cabinet.. 1/4 is football the rest Rugby..

Yes but you just answered my point in the fact you follow 3 teams? Also is 3 trophies a great haul in super league????

Following 3 teams...when I there is only about 12 anyway isn't there?

 

Having said that, as most RL fans would rather see a good game than one of their selected teams win, at least they can always enjoy the occasion. Even a heavy defeat can be celebrated somewhat as they don't get emotionally involved with a specific club like you would do with a football club

It is simply a tradition which has built up over the years.

The 1954 final was a particularly disappointing match, with just 2 penalty goals apiece, but the replay at Odsal, Bradford, had a midweek crowd officially registered at 102,569 although there were many thousands more there. Estimates of expected attendees from Halifax and Warrington totalled 27,000, but even if they doubled that there were a lot of neutrals there on a Wednesday evening.

Utter horseshit on all counts.

Who are Swinton?

So it's more like supporting the game then? Rather than supporting a town. Different to football but quite nice I suppose

Utter drivel. I want to see my team win

Id rather see Leigh win.. find wigan more entertaining and on telly more. Salford are local.

 

Prefer watching grass roots tbh..

Salford v Wigan

On current form we have to have a good chance of reaching Wembley now. I wonder if The Macron will be used for this game

The rumour is Warrington

Did wonder that myself ST but it's too close to the start of the season so can't see that getting off the ground

 

I think the Halliwell jones might be too small for the crowd for this one I reckon Huddersfield but either way wherever it is I shall be there 100%.
