| Quote Chetnik="Chetnik"I feel a bit sorry for wood. When Lunt is on he's has eorl and kopczak with him. Usually when wood comes on he has Larne and Faiumu/ferguson/tai. They are all good players but very different and not out and out props if thats what you would call them compared to Eorl and Kopczak. Don't lay all the blame on wood. Wait until he has some better props around him before you judge him.'"
good point actually, lunt does work behind crabtree and kopczak and they lay a great foundation.
to me it looked like faiumu was saying goodbye lastnight, very sad for it to end like that for him if im right.
kaufusi would be a good signing, extra size, hes like another taai!

If Faiumu is staying, and I hope he is, he needs to be given a position and allowed to play in in consistantly whether it be hooker or loose forward - not moving between hooker, loose forward and prop.

For some of us who watched rugby league before the Superleague started, the true champions are the ones who perform the best throughout the season and end up top of the league at the end of it.
I am one of those supporters and, win or lose next week, I will still regard Huddersfield as the true champions this year.
Of course we wouldn't throw the SL trophy into the Mersey, should we win it next week. Winning any trophy is a good for fans and club, of course it is, but it still doesn't match being the winners of the league, minus the knock out rounds, in my mind. This is my opinion

Fantastic. Why watch super league if you don't care about how it actually, you know, works?
If the league mattered, the other big teams would have made more of a go of it and Huddersfield wouldn't have been near the top 3.
Edit: What? You're a Warrington fan? Still bitter about 2011 then I take it....

Then you are deluded.
If winning the LLS made a club the "true champions" you'd see a totally different approach to the way the season was played from the top 4/5 teams in the Super League.
The regular season is simply a mechanism to decide which clubs enter into the Championship Play-offs.
If you don't or refuse to believe this then you haven't grasped how rugby league has decided it's champions for a vast majority of it's 118 year history.

i agree, also want faiumu to stay. Hope he is, takes up quite abit of the salary cap though and not getting any younger so can see the reasons if he is going.. lets hope he stays.

Always makes me laugh when people call themselves traditionalists and yet have no idea about the traditional RL method of selecting the champions. Normally in the same breath as claiming SL invented the idea of playoffs.
