It would be more fair if NSW Cup plays the ESL.

Honestly the esl is a joke

I remember when we lost to leeds in 2004 we had ben harris
Matt utai
Brent sherwin
Mark O'meley
Willie mason
Andrew ryan
All these players from the gf were injured and didn't play
We replacdd them with Trent cutler chris armit ,nate myles ,brett oliver ,ben czisloski ,trevor thruling
And we still lost by 7points with their full team

Esl is crap
All we needed was a for Sherwin and we win that. Fair play to Leeds though, they actually were a very good side from that point on.

Can't believe Thomas Leuluai is still playing, how old is this guy?
Quality player you could see how he how was trying to straighten their attack all night.

ESL is a weak competition.
Maybe the wooden spoon winner of the NRL should verse the premiership winner of SL.

It makes me laugh what a waste of time the Club Challenge is.

Had to look it up, but 33.

Probably says a lot about the Superleague standard... but what do you expect when hardly anyone in England gives a toss about Rugby League.

It also doesn't help that the WCC is played in the next year when both teams are completely different. It is designed like the Superbowl but executed in such a failure of a way.

Not a bad effort by the defending Premiers.
Was a bit sceptical about the Brett Morris signing but he did look sharp.
Australian sides are now dominanting the WCC now winning 9 of the past 11.
The Poms only hope is the fact the matches are played in England. Played here our premiers each year would win by 40

I was a bit sceptical when they signed both Morris and Ryan Hall ( both internationals) to replace Blake Ferguson who was on a reduced contract with the Chooks because they were doing him a favour after some off field problems.....;);););)

I reckon Wigan would finish 11th to 13th if they played in the NRL. Zero chance of making the finals.
With the squad they have now yes. They team they had last year makes last years 8 imo

Ahhh English Superleague... where retiring NRL players or those too good for NSW Cup end up.

This game is almost as pointless as the All Stars game.

Esl isn’t too bad to watch compared to the NRL which is far superior.

The thing with the esl is they don’t have long video ref stoppages, shitty refs and bullshit it’s just good old fashioned league.

The NRL could learn a thing or two from the ESL.

So now B Moz wants to score tries
Wingers are finishers. All it takes is a good centre/half/58 inside and your winger will look amazing.

Remember Goodwin. He completely dominated until a certain centre decided that he wasn't going to pass the ball any more.

The best thing about ESL is they don't have a shiny bald headed clueless fuckwit running his mouth talking tough and destroying the game.
