Super League 2014 season's opener...
Wigan Warriors 8...Huddersfield Giants 24
Jermaine McGillvery scored a hat-trick of tries for the Giants to make a very big immediate dent in the Wigan euphoria that had been engendered during the close season and the loss of those iconic players such as Sam Tomkins in the close season was seen to be something that now needs to be urgently addressed by Wigan if they are to retain the title they won last year. An attendance of 16,240 on a cold Friday early February night was a tribute to those hardy Rugby League supporters of both sides.

Super League 2014
Widnes Vikings 64...London Broncos 10
Kevin Brown starts off with a hat-trick of tries for Widnes Vikings in this season's opener for these clubs.
I was wondering how London Broncos would fare after the close season administration affair that saw them with only a squad of 12 retained players that then had had a hurried spate of recent signings to increase their playing squad.

Bradford Bulls have been given a six point deduction by the Rugby Football League for entering into administration.

Widnes Vikings 32...Salford Red Devils 18
After the euphoria engendered by their very recent remarkable defeat of the Huddersfield Giants, Widnes Vikings were somewhat brought to earth in the first half of this game and were trailing 12-8 at half-time, but the mid-match dressing room tactical talk seemed to work and they were far more impressive in the second period and ended as worthy winners. They have now won all three of this season's Super League matches.

Marwan Koukash, the owner of Salford Red Devils, has confirmed that the interest of his wife in taking over the Bradford Bulls is genuine.
Does this contravene any regulations concerning ownership ?

Challenge Cup Fourth Round Draw.
Good draw that for Oldham and I think they would get money for that tie for beaning played at Bradford ground?
Interesting that tie will be played on same weekend as Bradford v Oldham football match in League One too.

I take it you've not heard of the NRL team Melbourne Storm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_Storm

I've heard of the Storm they play at the Excellent Aami Park where it is actually primarily called a League Stadium surprisingly... only Problem is the fans don't really like League in Melbourne it's AFL country there... and the Stadium is a bit Small it reminds me of a nice version of the Reebok/DW.. Luckily i'm heading For Brisbane and The GC (Robina) for Bronco's and Titans Games (Looking forward to Broncos/Sydney on friday btw will be a great after show after the Wigan-Warrington Game)
The Size of Melbourne and The Population you'd expect a second team there? i think this would get the passion up a bit more... it works for the A-League now there are the Victory and the Heart(less) and Also in Sydney with The FC and Western Sydney Wanderers.

Warrington Wolves 4...Wigan Warriors 12
On a slippery pitch in wet conditions at the Halliwell Jones stadium, this mid-week match was somewhat not of the quality hoped for, being a repeat meeting of last season's Grand Final and Wigan scored two tries to only one by Warrington.

Warrington Lost far to much Talent in the close season and Lee Briers to lol.
Watched a Violent Wests vs Souths Game this morning 5 players on report and Burgess got Sinbinned. Wests won 25-16 with ex Wigan winger Pat Richards scoring in the corner and The Broncos lost 30-26 to the Roosters at Suncorp thanks to Roosters actually playing for the full 80 incstead of the Bronco's

Shock wins for Widnes and Catalans this week and a rare Wigan victory at the HJ Very interesting Superleague this year

I attended Brisbane v Parramatta last Friday at Suncorp phenomenal stadium think of an improved version of the Millennium.. only problem was the Brisbane fans they just lacked any passion compared to UK fans. I hope the international rfl don't regret giving Brisbane two games in the four nations.

Salford Red Devil's appointment of Iestyn Harris as their new head coach will be quite a challenge, as the club owner is ruthless in his ambition to drive the club forward.

It was quite a good start for Iestyn Harris in his role as the new Salford Red Devils head coach, as seven different Salford players scored tries in this away victory.

The season looks really bad now for Bradford Bulls who still are bottom with a minus 2 points haul as a result of an applied stricture. Wigan ran in no less than 15 tries and were far superior in all aspects of the game.

In this seemingly easy match, St Helens ran in five tries and this result sees St Helens taking over as league leaders, following the surprise 24-6 defeat of the high-flying Leeds Rhinos by fifth placed Warrington Wolves.

I most certainly did not...See the final part of my posting, which incidentally has the CORRECT score of 24-6..
Still, it is good to see that someone else has an interest in Rugby League. Posting contributions to this thread are always welcome.

As expected the mid-table Super League match played on Friday saw the Widnes Vikings share the points with the Catalan Dragons 26-26.

Edited!! I'm a Warrington fan by the way, as you may have worked out from my post
Probably because it wasn't in bold why I didn't notice it.

I'm a Sheffield Eagles fan, Whitehaven away tomorrow but I cannot get there and the supporters bus got cancelled due to lack of demand. Our 13th game, and the 4th league game I will have missed. Swinton/Batley away and Leigh at home, wimped out as I knew we'd get hammered (and I have a season ticket

Challenge Cup...Quarter Final
Wigan Warriors 4...Castleford Tigers 16
Castleford Tigers once again showed how much they have improved this season and I really enjoyed my armchair view of the televised match (medically being unable to make match visits to any sport) and I really was surprised by the insipid Wigan team performance level, considering that they are the current holders of the Challenge Cup.

************************************************************************************************
Bradford Bulls have had their appeal against the six point deduction imposed by the Rugby Football League, for entering into administration twice in two years, rejected by an independent panel.
This was not an unexpected decision, noting that the organising body is determined to bring a strong club discipline into the Super League game.

In comparison to the inept Wigan performance at home in the Challenge Cup quarter final which saw them lose to the same opponents only a matter of a few days previously 4-16, this eight try Wigan victory saw some confidence returning to the team. A pity that such a team effort was not seen during the cup match.

In a reversal of the current trend for League players to join the Union game, after a three year spell at Saracens in which he won three full International Union caps in 2013, Joel Tompkins has now made a welcome return to the squad at Wigan Warriors.

After St Helens went into an early 6-0 lead in the hoped-for celebratory win to confirm the Championship Shield, Warrington Wolves certainly spoilt the party by running in no less than seven tries.
