Anyone know how many tickets both clubs and the RFL have sold for the game in Cardiff???

Just hope the weekend doesn't look to stupid with those tens of thousands of seats that are gonna be empty for most of the games.

They are one of the best games in Super league though (just to cover my back ... 'in my opinion' :)

That's because it was always felt like a special occasion.
Only the RFL could come up with such an uneven competition :conf:

I've never known a sport run / put together in the way Super league is.

1. A team from France in the Super league??
2. The salary cap??
3. International games??
etc.

We are unique in the way the that we do things.
Lets pay lots of money to run a board who cant work out whats going to improve the game.
Half the decisions made detract from the strength of the game.

egxample.
Tri nations = GB yet world cup home nations made up of mainly englishmen from the NW.

No real international scene.

Salary cap means we lose our best players.

Judicary inconsistent at best.

Rule open to interpretation and that interpretation changing weekly.

with more thought i think i could go on but i think i made my point.
