Thought I'd bought a win on Wigan this evening, never seen so many knock ons by them in a single game ever. Quite amazing really.
 
Still refreshing to be watching a sport where the league leaders can be beaten, and the lack of competition doesn't seem impossible to overcome
Indeed, although having said that, we've only ever had 4 Super League winners in its history, with that down to 3 since Bradford fell away so spectacularly. Catalan is the only team that has really risen up from a low position to challenge. For a sport with a salary cap it's nowhere near as competitive as, for instance, the NRL, which has had 10 different winners during the Super League era.
 


Kevin Sinfield is a titan

He's a legend, and it's such a shame that the sport has lost guys like him, Faz, and Edwards to the other code.

It amazes me that he hasn’t been knighted.

It’s hard to think of any ex pro athlete, in any field, that‘s as selfless and driven as Sir Kev.

When he carried Rob over that finishing line, I was in bits.

I have real worry, that how he will cope when Rob goes though.

I like to think I've done my bit by drinking loads of the seven brothers rob burrow beer!

Completely agree with you, Rob is teak tough aswell, though he would have passed or given up once he was chair bound but he just battles on

There are a bunch of "toughest players you played against" videos and they always feature big guys like Morley and Peacock, but Burrow gave those guys 40kg and kept putting himself in there. That's much tougher for me than going toe to toe with someone smaller than you.
