So, which team will get the first season ending injury to a star?

You know it's gonna be Farah. Also someone didn't tell the Knights about the *~*BONUS ZONE*~*

Why the gently caress did they go with nine minute halves rather than ten? Sure it matches the whole 'nines' theme, but it's still retarded. Perfect for the NRL, I guess.

Rather than the bonus zone I'd prefer if there was a panel of three fans of neutral teams who judged each try for entertainment value and gave points accordingly. Much better, and rewards teams doing crazy stuff!

What a finish! Hilarious that so many missed goals decided it, especially with so many being from close to the posts.

Reading the Grauniad match report it says that there was some nasty swirling wind in Hull, made worse by the KC being an enclosed ground.

Also, here's the awesome Super League intro everyone was mourning the loss of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB0bGkNZpoA

It did look pretty windy, but seriously, some of the kicks were almost from in front. It's not that hard.

I think the story so far is that teams with interesting jerseys will beat boring ones so far.

E: ignore that, gently caress the eels.

He was alright, if a bit anonymous. Not bad, though - he made tackles and wasn't a glaring weakness in the team.

Ahearn is a talent as well but its a bizarre side. Almost makes no sense some of the players that have been picked like Stuart just decided on the team by throwing darts at players names blindfolded.
