Super League 2016 Thread

Holy cow! What is happening this year?

Leeds losing by over 50 to Widnes. Catalans being turned over at home by Hull. Wigan struggling against a weak Huddersfield side.

I foresee 3 embarrassing games for super league next week

I don't think those games are going to be happy watching but hey ho. I'm probably only going to watch the Saints game anyway

I dare not watch Leeds in their upcoming game v North Queensland, I predict a car crash.

Wakey wakey, St Helens!

 

[martint235]

Well that was a depressingly predictable scoreline for the Saints. I watched the first half and then gave up.

Saints are so poor this year

Leeds are struggling

Hull fc going well

Great year for rugby league

Saints are gash and the club needs freshening up from the top down...to move with the times.

It may be, and whisper it very quietly, that Keiron Cunningham isn't the man for the job. An undoubtable god on the field but there has to be question marks around his coaching.

 

[PhilDawson8270]

There was a recent rumour that he has stepped down. I have a feeling it is false but I can only hope.

If he does go. I will feel a little sorry for him. He was a legend on the field and tried his best as a coach he loves the club and loves winning. But he just isn't cutting it.

Hopefully it doesn't end his coaching career and he goes elsewhere and returns with more experience. A top club shouldn't be a training club for a coach.

I noticed after the Catalan game it was Jamahl Lolesi who spoke to the BBC.

Agree with everything you said. He loves Saints and fully deserves his statue but I can't help thinking a few years in a Giggs type of role would have been better, followed by a lower division club on his own and then if all that worked, come back to Saints.

The only problem with him stepping down is with saints mentality from the top they will prob give the job to another past player wello/long.
They need a top coach and to spend big instead of buying 2nd rate widnes players and has beens.

Daniel Anderson has been seen with McManus at a few games this year, maybe a sign? Most likely not though. In the meantime if he did step down, I think the reserves coach Ian Talbot would step in. Since his reserve side is undefeated this year, it may not be a bad thing to try?

Good call

Your boy Travis Burns went really well for Leigh in his debut game, 2x 40/20's, 2 tries & 2 assists.

Last time out at home v Fev he was a little anonymous, though you can see the quality.

I still don't think a Championship Club can win the MPG but live in hope.

Salford, Leeds, Widnes & Giants to be in the middle 8's.

 

[david k]

Cannot see any championship clubs getting through, but with the million pound game you never know

Still unsure as to this structure
