Well the season is under way, Leeds who everyone, myself included thought must be a transitional season, have won their first two. First the Bulls now Hull. The quality of attack is something rugby union can only dream of. Peacock and McGuire still out with injury yet the youth players coming through are awesome. If you are unfamilliar with the sport then get stuck in. Nothing comes close. Wigan look likely to dominate yet seeing Leeds like this who knows. Saints came back at Cardiff to draw, never right off Saints. Wakefield who must feel that the world is against them are fighting for survival. I hope they do. Castleford, another team the authorities frown on have beaten the Giants. The Giants beat Tony Smiths Wire. With Erol Crabtree, big Daddys nephew and an awesome pack now aligned with the magnificent Danny Brough must be a force to be reckoned with. The Wire, under the greatest of coaches Smith must be contenders, Lee Briers, an all time favourite player of mine can bring down any team. The Crusaders under Iestin Harris will win a few, with the comedy factor of Mickey Rourke making a film about Gareth Thomas, the first 'out' Welsh rugby star following them will bring some press. Sadly Thomas is past his best and a little old to learn the harder code. Kyle Eastmond looks off to RU. Can#tsay I'm bothered. RU always make ill advised buys.
All told another great season ahead. The world club challenge soon where Wigan take on St George Illawarra. to see who is the best rugby team in the world. Rugby League is the greatest sport of all, if you think not, you havn't watched. Salford look in for a ough on. I'd drop them. They are effectivelly an expansionist team, only supported to have a side in the greater Manchester area, not there on merit. Wakefield and Cas must feel insulted. Watch the season, if you have never followed a season before you will find a world of excitement and joy. The Greatest Game of All.
