| I agree with the OP's sentiments, its been very quiet on here but then again its been very quiet across the board - RL wise. You go on BBC Sport > Rugby League, theres not much gonig on there either aside from the odd contract renewal here and there and Paul Wood's lone soldier...
It could be said that no news is good news however; i would rather have it quiet than awash with "Blummin rugby union, pinching Josh Charnley", etc.

League leaders. Hence why we got the league leaders shield.
14 years of having a Grand Final to determine champions and still people want to put their heads in the sand - only in rugby league, which is why the game gets the profile its fans deserve.

| Quote ShortArse="ShortArse"we have to be very careful about the 'success' of darts.
despite the size of winning the world championship, there is very little money in the game, and therefore very few full time pros.
darts has been able to increase its profile enormously (although lets wait and see what happens when Taylor retires), but without putting much money into the pot to support full time pros.
RL need a business plan which tales it well above what darts has achieved. And to put it into perspective - if you went onto the street in May and asked the average punter to name a darts player other than Phil Taylor, what do you think the response would be ? let alone ask them to name one under 40 !
Darts is a game still driven by 2 competing organisations, very few full time pro's, good viewing figures for 2 weeks a year and mostly filled with amateurs. That sounds to me like exactly where RL is going, rather than where we need to be aiming.'"
Darts has come on a hell of a long way and now isn't just about a World Championships for 2 weeks at the end of the year.
The Premier League darts season runs for 4 months at the start of the year and although only showcases the worlds 8 best players, has a lot of coverage and interest. Also there is the UK Open held in Bolton again with substantial prize money.
I don't know if you have missed watching Darts for the past 5 years because a lot of what you have said isn't true for the sport nowadays.

Couldn't agree more , there s a darts competitions every other week , might not be on sky but it's broadcasted on other live channels . Also the prize money is ranging from anywhere around £70k-and £100k a comp . You only have to look at the pdc order of merit to see how many people are making a good living out of darts and believe me it's not just a hand full

| Everyone's written us off already. Look at the positives:
We've still (IMO) got the best, young pack in the league.
Two of the best wingers in the league.
The best full back/ player in the league.
An organized settled back room of coaches.
O.K., two new half backs isn't going to make it easy, but at least they've had the off season to get to know each others, and the teams game.
As for Wane, he got us 80 minutes away from two finals and we finished top in the regular season.
It's not exactly as grim as 2006 pre-season is it?

| I miss Rugby League during the off season, and starting to get withdrawals now and cant wait to watch Wigan again. However I am completely disillusioned with Super League. To be honest im looking forward much more to the start of the NRL season. My only hope this year is that Melbourne take the WCC seriously and really put Leeds to the swords. The Rhinos fans blinkered view that they actually think they are the worlds best team and now have the worlds best player is p1ssing me off and the season hasnt even started yet !!!

I'm usually counting the days by now but I really couldn't care less. I'll go to games because I know no different, but at the moment I couldn't care less if we beat Salford or lost by 30.
