Table Turbulance
April 23rd 2009 08:23
So this weekend is likely to send the Super League table turning, yet again.
So far this season there have been a lot of shocks, and well, a few suprises along the way.
Starting with Bradford.
So their not in the best position, ok maybe thats a bit too sarcastic, they are doing bad, very bad. Basically they are at the bottom of the table, as can we really count Celtic Crusaders as they haven't won a match yet! So here Bradford are lying at the bottom, which lets face it isn't like them at all, and their fans ain't gonna be happy! So they atarted to pick up a little last week, but who have they got to face now, thats right the other end of the table. St Helens. The Saints will be wanting to extend their lead at the top of the table so they're not going to sit and relax, and the Bulls are going to want to be moving themselves up a little, a win tonight for Bradford could see them jump up a few places, obviously depending on other teams performances though.
Now Onto Leeds.
They started off well to the season, and then they hit a rocky patch, it seems those Manly Sea Eagles did tire them out or at least shook their confidence. They are facing Harlequins tonight at home so will be looking to close down on Saints at the top, as Leeds won't be happy being in 2nd especially not to the Saints.
Salford will be meeting Hull FC at home on Saturday and both teams are hungry for points. Salford will want to be moving up and getting away from the bottom 3, whilst Hull FC won't be happy until they are at least ahead of Hull KR, has the makings of a good close game.
Its not looking good for Celtic Crusaders, they are at the bottom of the table having won exactly ... no they haven't won any yet! They face the Castleford Tigers on Sunday, which definately won't be easy. Castleford are sitting comfortably in 6th place, but they will be aiming for higher. So Good Luck to Celtics.
As for the rest of the teams, they all seem to be hanging on. Wigan and warrington both looking to improve their game as they aren't doing as well as they would have liked. Catalans are in 8th, which isn't too bad for the French team but lets face it, we know the french hate to lose so I'm sure they will be coming out all guns blazing, to win to improve their table status.
Hull KR should be happy at the minute, they are ahead of their rivals Hull FC and are in a good position on the table (5th). They will be playing the Dragons on sunday, so lets see who takes home the points.
And last but not least Wakefield and Huddersfield. Both team sitting comfortably in the top 5. Wakefield have played well so far this season and they'll be wanting to keep that up, whilst Huddersfield and been letting us know why they really are the Giants. Wakefield will be wanting to add a couple more points against Wigan, as will Huddersfield againts Warrington.
All in all so far this season, the biggest shocks have to be from Wigan and Bradford being so far down the table, their fans will be hoping they start moving up soon.
But thats Rugby League for you, unpredictable!
