Super League XIV – Preliminary Semi-Finals

September 24, 2009 at 9:18 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Incredible! Here we are just two games away from British sport’s biggest domestic climax.  Last week Castleford and Wakefield said goodbye to love.  This week we circle around two more do-or-die battles.  Please don’t let the winners expend too much energy ahead of the semi-finals because we demand two belters next week.  We want our blood!

Huddersfield vs Catalans
Wrestlemania is back in town and boy am I looking forward to this one.  If there’s no biff, bang, bosh in this I want my money back.  Big boys duffing up other big boys has been top class entertainment for centuries and across all social classes.  Us hungry RL morons are one and the same.  We abhor violence.  Put some big collisions, high shots and punch-ups in any game and we are abhorring it.  Ruined it I have.  Instead of the coliseum headliner I foresee a tight game liberated from excitement by loose handling, flopping around and bombs.  This deserves my “this can go either way” comment with references to Catalans, at times, flowing distribution being flattened by strong Giants defence.  Walters’ team have the intelligence, skill and approach to test Nathan Brown’s team.  Is it capable of performing at its best, which is what it will need to be.  I doubt it.  It would be absurd of me to ditch Huddersfield after singing their praises through most of the season.  With Brett Hodgson whizzing around the pitch, Mongo squashing oranges in the pack and Fulton giving some game-winning inspiration it is a solid home outing keeping some distance between the two.  I would love Catalans to make a fight of this and I am holding out on them being in a final fling mindset to give us good Friday night viewing.  Huddersfield by 10.

Hull KR vs Wigan
One big question for this game.  Was Hull KR’s collapse at Leeds indicative of the way their season is ending or merely a switching off before inevitable conquest by the league’s bully boys?  The pundits have made their opinion clear. It was the former.  The manner in which the first admirable team from Rovers country capitulated was a reflection of how their campaign has progressed.  A good crust to open with offset against a soggy middle before some flavour kicks back towards the end.  Neither the crust or the flavour has been enough to overcome that soggy middle.  There’s a downbeat journey here.  You can’t say the same for Wigan.  Brian Noble’s annual spurt has most observers predicting a Wigan trip to St Helens thanks to a strong second half of the season.  It has been strong.  It has not been that strong though.  Who are we trying to kid here?  I’m amazed the visitors didn’t dismantle Castleford to the tune of fourty-odd points last week.  It is the play-offs I guess and you don’t write Wigan off, something that I learned a long time ago.  The difference is it was a long time ago that I also decided to write off not writing Wigan off.  Here we are all in danger of writing off a Rovers team which can be very deadly when it forces those errors.  Wigan are a team which volunteers errors and I think we’re primed for a blow out either way.  At Leeds the stresses and strains of a long season came to the fore and it is difficult to avoid looking there for your result.  There are all sorts of permutations possible from this one and if Rovers do out-percentage Wigan I hold little hope of them progressing further if they have to go back to Leeds.  Look, it isn’t because I believe Leeds are simply superior.  It is this has to be a battle-weary win for Rovers and I am going to plump for the exhilaration of a potential semi-final wooing Craven Park to an ugly death at Headingly.  Hull KR by 2.

Play-off predictions rate, 2-2.

Super League XIV – Play-Offs – Week One Previews

Hey!  How a week changes your perspective.  Last week I couldn’t hold back my saliva when I thought about what these coming weeks has in store for us.  Turns out the first week is a mixture of death-defying victories alongside pre-ambles to possible encounters in a couple of weeks time.  Now you might not enjoy reading too much about how miserable a season your side as had and it’s tiring listening to the same old lack of RL analysis on this blog.  However, there is one thing nobody ever gets bored of reading and that’s mistakes.  I made a mistake last week.  It was a foolish one which I’m quite happy to put down to my usual playful exuberance about Super League play-off football.  There is no better time to be had watching professional rugby live in this country’s domestic calendar.  This will be our twelfth year of Super League play-off football and it has gone faster than a Keith Senior purchase order for shoulder chips.  From the epic first final when Jason Robinson’s dazzling footwork undid one of the best Leeds teams of the past thirty years to Wakefield’s heroics at Hull and from Castleford almost going all the way to the inevitable mention of “Wide to West.”  You may not like the play-off format and you’re a fool if you don’t.  You would prefer to deny us the pleasures of knockout football by the very best.  I’ve strayed from my point.  If you’re still arguing about the merits of a play-off system, stop watching the World Cup, Champions League Football, Major League Baseball, the Olympics, American Football and boxing because it’ll ruin your appreciation for round-robin leagues.

Back to my point.  My problem now is this could be the first of two encounters between Leeds and Hull KR.  Assuming results go to form and positioning there’s every chance that Hull KR and Huddersfield will have to beat Leeds and Saints twice just to progress to the Grand Final.  It will be some achievement for either to reach Old Trafford.  Why bother going 100mph this week when you could lose and end up facing a game next week just for the right to face the same side again?  Well I suppose if either team wins this week they will be at home in two weeks time with a week off inbetween.  Maybe it is more interesting than I thought it is.  The Giants and Rovers can more than upset the applecart if they win this weekend.  They will establish a golden opportunity for a new club to participate in the pinnacle of the northern hempishere’s professional domestic rugby competitions.

Leeds v Hull KR (winner advances to a home game in week 3)
Awesomeness.  Just how did Brian McClennan manage to have his team turn up one week, drift through games the next, snatch a victory after that and secure a minor premiership off the back of it?  The more cynical and loveless of us would decry such astonishment with throwaway ill-researched comments about decreasing quality instead of recognising the increased intensity.  Mentalists.  Given the way results between the champions, Hull KR and Huddersfield have played out this year we’re all probably glad that it is Michael Dobson and gang in town to give us a match that promises greater competitiveness.  Despite close defeats against Leeds, Rovers cannot feel too confident about the trip.  This Leeds team hasn’t yet hit top form which has me believing they are saving their best for last.  At their very best Leeds can burn up the grass like Lebowski and I fancy they are primed for release.  Leeds by 8.

St Helens v Huddersfield (winner advances to a home game in week 3)
Of the two tussles of the big time, this is the one filled with hope.  If you are not a Saints, Halifax or Bradford fan the chances are you will be sat on the edge of your seat this Saturday evening waiting to see if Huddersfield can break the seal.  Okay, I keep mentioning this mythical barrier between the great sides and the aspirational teams every time Huddersfield face up to a challenge.  There have been four of these challenges so far this year for Brownie’s boys.  Leeds twice, the cup semi-final and most recently, the Challenge Cup Final.  A 20% return from those games might not seem that great but it is.  You don’t suddenly start knocking off everybody on the back of an upturn in form.  What makes this game so enticing is the hurricane defence of Huddersfield fronting up again to the 20% opponent.  Now the Giants face a challenge with less pressure than they have had in any of the previous ones.  Expectation might be greater in the Huddersfield than it was before but we know this is expectation buoyed by confidence not hope.  Hope can be frail during the strongest of times.  When facing an adversary you know how to beat and who is making a bit of a mess of putting themselves in the Grand Final painting that hope becomes confidence.  For RL fans this is sure to be a treat with a possible re-match in two weeks time either at the same place or at the Galph.  The scruffbags which make up the bottom four of the play-off places might have something to say about that so let’s just savour this Saturday’s bust-up and pray that if we don’t see this contest again this year, there is something even better waiting to be served for the world’s viewers to gobble up.  Huddersfield by 2.

Wakefield v Catalans (winner advances to away game next week against one of the top four)
I try not to embellish my own ego by pointing out where I was wrong and others weren’t, however I can’t start talking about Catalans and ignore the fact that I singled out their trip to Saints as the climactic encounter in the final round of regular season games.  Saints fans will tell you it was a dull match with Saints unable to inject any sort of efficiency or enthusiasm into the game leading to a rejection of coach Potter and the boys from the terraces meerkats.  Like any set of home supporters the opposition’s win was down to the under-performance of their beloved celtic-tattooed beefchavs.  There is some truth to that assessment but as per usual such crying detracts from what was an impressive Catalans display.  How the French team would have fared against a front line Saints is irrelevant.  You can only beat what is put in front of you.  Quite.  Catalans produced some fine deft skills to embarrass Saints not only with their handling but with the result.  Can Walters’ improving touch help to bring about what wouldn’t be that big a surprise result?  It’s an interesting question and one that I would have ignored but for last week’s impressive application.  Now, we have a Wakefield side which has been good this year no doubt.  Good enough to sit in fifth?  They are.  There may be teams around them claiming to be better but Wakefield’s triumphs speak for themselves.  It is one thing upsetting a higher placed team like Rovers, it is something completely different when you end up belittling the reigning minor premiers on their own turf.  If I was looking purely at tactical nous and ability you might disagree with me and favour John Kear’s Challenge Cup history as evidence for Wakefield.  This weekend I am torn between the two.  Catalans, when they carry our their gameplan are a more effective team and one who can easily slip out of  your sight before you’ve got a foothold in the match.  I don’t see that in Wakefield.  Wakefield will bug you all the way and at home they are a difficult team to beat, so I am going for the emotion of the moment to help Wakefield through to a trip to one of the top four.  Wakefield by 2.

******GAME OF THE ROUND******

Wigan v Castleford (winner advances to away game next week against one of the top four)
Here it is, our final game of the round and what a contest in store.  Both games this year have gone to the away team although Wigan’s more recent victory is a better indicator of how this one should pattern out.  You can say nothing but good things about Castleford’s season.  Not many predicted a seventh place finish, a finish that has been helped by some great results, including their win at Wigan.  Good things at Wigan centre around the progression of Sam Tomkins and a second half of the season which has been very consistent, on the back of losing their strongest attacking forward, Hock.  Games between these two have been, over the years, great for the neutral.  Mainly I am talking about times when Castleford have upset the odds.  Who can forget the Stuart Raper led Tigers or the JPS Nikau inspired thrashing?  Memorable.  Will this be as memorable?  I think it will.  My feeling is it will still be a Wigan win even if it is closer than Noble would like.  Noble?  He is and maybe what is happening with his departure will provide Matterson with an intangible asset.  Wigan by 8.

Last round’s predictions;

Hull by 1 (lost by 3)
Leeds by 10 (won by 6)
Hull KR by 2 (lost by 14)
Castleford by 30 (won by 13)
Huddersfield by 2 (won by 32)
Warrington by 18 (won by 10)
Saints by 8 (lost by 12)

A return to the 4-3 days making it 106-72 overall.  Is anybody really bothered about the accuracy of the score predictions?

Super League XIV Preview – Round Twenty-Seven Previews

September 10, 2009 at 7:07 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Here we are folks.  One game from the thrills and spills of play-off football.  When this year’s play-off format was first announced we all laughed and now I am quite pleased with this new format.  The amount of teams still in the mix is a bit comical, however the RFL have managed to get rid of the two-team elimination game that preceded the Grand Final.  Usually that game was either a walkover for the favourite or an inspired underdog display sees the challenger go through with nothing left in the tank.  Thinking of it, that might just have been once or twice and the Bulls managed it from third so it’s all about my mis-informed perception.

Still, look at next week.  Leeds and Saints against Huddersfield and Hull KR.  Who isn’t excited about that?  Forget those games anyway because the real knockout stuff dings off with Wigan and Wakefield facing up against Castleford  and any one of three others.  Each of those fifth to eighth placed teams are more than capable of beating the other, home or away.  Man, this is exciting.  The Challenge Cup may be historic but it isn’t the Grand Final.  The Grand Final is our heavyweight bout.  There is no luck of the draw when it gets to the Grand Final.  You beat the best to get there and then you beef up to the best to win it.  I love this game!

Hull (12th) v Bradford (9th)
The miracle is upon us.  Catalans impending doom at the hands of their former coach should see Steve McNamara given the freedom of The Love Apple.  Temptation lies in going for the Bulls on the back of some good form and most people will go with that.  If Catalans beat Saints then it will definitely be a Bulls win or will it?  Will they be deflated after pushing an unlikely season all the way until the final round?  On the other hand I look at this and see the Bulls are in a very good position, able to take advantage of any slip up against a team that switched off about twenty rounds ago.  If this was a biopic about Steve McNamara then Catalans would lose by a point at Saints and the Bulls would falter here in an error-strewn performance.  I like a bit of tragi-comedy so let’s go for it.  Ed Wood to direct.  Hull by 1.

Salford (13th) v Leeds (1st)
I suppose there is something on the line for this one.  Leeds need to avoid defeat and hope Saints don’t rattle up a big one at the same time.  It’s been a long season for Salford and one that has had its fair share of bright spots.  Unfortunately those bright spots have been spots and nothing more.  Myler is not the huge loss many may perceive him to be and the money could be put to good use in developing talent further.  That’s probably the question isn’t it.  If this was some sort of strategic management computer game I’d be taking that money and investing in the infrastructure of the club and its facilities, although the latter may not be as important if the long-planned stadium comes to fruition.  Thanks to the maddening format of this league and the British endless obsession with relegation and promotion Salford will not be able to invest large sums of money into their long-term aims because now they need to start fighting for some improvement over the next two years to avoid falling through the trapdoor.  The quest for short-term return on investment, quick profits over sustainable growth has led to three recessions since I reached the age of ten yet we’re quite happy, as supporters, to restrict our premier competition’s ability to avoid the same mistakes.  Good luck next year Salford because you’ll need it.  Leeds by 10.

Wakefield (6th) v Hull KR (3rd)
Great season for these teams.  Whatever happens from here on in I would be proud if I was a supporter of either for how they’ve applied themselves.  Rovers got off to a great start, kept it up, fell to the wayside and then bounced back into big time football.  Wakefield have overcome some horrible setbacks this year, managing to hand them off and hold on to sixth place.  With Wigan at Huddersfield there’s everything to play for here.  Third and fifth place are up for grabs and with the way the table currently lies finishing in these spots offers reasonable advantages.  This really is the game of the round.  I know that.  Hull KR by 2.

Castleford (7th) v Celtic Crusaders (14th)
Like Salford, Celtic face a race against time as the less progressive elements of the RL community circle above them wanting our expansion to fail.  This is developing into a confrontational round of previews I know.  I’d figured earlier in the week, writing about this week’s games was going to be difficult because there’s really only one result that matters.  Lying amongst these fixtures though are games for which teams are jostling for their position on the play-off ladder.  Except in this one.  Castleford by 30.

Huddersfield (4th) v Wigan (5th)
Huddersfield have been in the top five since round six.  Wigan only made the top five seven rounds ago.  What a great story that is, in Huddersfield.  My early season prediction was a fifth place for the Giants and they have exceeded that not just in a pure positional sense but also in the way they have played the game.  There have been significant improvements in their performances with a real purple patch in the holiday months which resulted in a magnificent semi-final win over Saints.  Going to south Wales last week was the perfect tonic and sets up Huddersfield with a chance at another crack at Saints.  After the way their reserves competed a few weeks ago it’s some incentive.  Wigan have rescued their season on the back of commitment, enthusiasm and heart.  These are all characteristics which have been scrutinised by their supporters over this season.  To see the new wave coming through, specifically Tomkins, offers hope for the next six years or so.  What happens if Brian Noble goes?  More years of instability?  Depends on the man who gets the job.  Is Paul Terzis still available?  Huddersfield by 2.

Warrington (10th) v Harlequins RL (11th)
Scorefest last round for the respective oppositions.  Can we expect the same here?  I’m not really bothered now.  I’d love to be able to look back over my previews and see which teams I have written the most about this year.  Warrington have to be up there.  Harlequins RL?  Maybe even if it has just been the same thing week-in, week-out.  Par for my course.  So now it could be curtain down on the season time.  Funnier things have happened and I will be tuning in to the local radio on Sunday if Catalans can’t perform a miracle on Friday.  Warrington by 18.

******GAME OF THE ROUND******

St Helens (2nd) v Catalans Dragons (8th)
For most this is a stroll through the park for Saints.  Second is tied up, The Big Red Machine is having a week off and Catalans have never come close at Knowsley Road.  Time for the conspiracy theorists to take hold.  Potter, being an ex-Dragon, will hopefully be giving the home fans something to moan about by letter his former team run ragged over his side.  Of course, such conspiracy theorists are quite happy to bypass Potter’s professionalism just to try and give some sort of credence to their ridiculous ideas.  This does remain game of the round because Saints might be looking to brighten up their attacking play in the week before the big stuff starts and we all know how much Catalans need to win this.  This is the game of the round because a Catalans win renders the games at the KC and HJ obsolete if the French win.  I’m expecting a high tempo, free flowing match with plenty of points.  Where are the cameras?  Saints by 8.

Last round predictions;

Leeds by 8 (won by 8 )
Wigan by 12 (won by 12)
Catalans by 2 (lost by 14)
Huddersfield by 4 (won by 26)
Hull KR by 12 (won by 24)
Bradford by 6 (won by 26)
Castleford by 2 (won by 48 )

A few blowouts in another 6-1 round with two correct scores.  A late surge pushes the overall to 102-69 (60%).

Super League XIV – Round Twenty-Six Previews

I take a week off when it’s Challenge Cup weekend and whilst I was eagerly anticipating last week’s historic final it sadly lived up to my expectations.  The result was a side issue for me.  Two teams who could win a big trophy for the first time in decades has monumental written all over it.  It was though a bitty affair, brought to life in the early stages by characteristic mistakes which created a false feeling of top class entertainment.  It was definitely an exciting start.  It was also a first half in which neither team was able to generate a good rhythm with the ball in hand and it wasn’t until the second half that the game really felt like a Super League game.  Up until the interval it felt very much like a typically scrappy cup game where neither team wanted to win.  The first twenty minutes or so of the second half were more like it.  It finally felt like a Super League game.

So it wasn’t a cup final for the ages and it won’t be one that people outside of the participants’ towns will be remembering twenty years later.  It was though a brilliant sampling of Tony Smith’s coaching ability as his Warrington side dominated the Giants with a defensive display as strong as their opponents was in the semi-final.  Smith’s side took some chances in shifting the ball wide and the selection of youngster McCarthy was indicative of Smith’s desire to present a mobile and fast moving defensive line.  It worked exceptionally well.  Right from the off Huddersfield had no way of penetrating the Wire line and didn’t look like they would make much yardage up the middle no matter how long the game went on.  Invincible is a strong word and we would be being overly dramatic if we used that word to describe the defence of the Giants after the semi-final.  Overly dramatic possibly.  Not without some substance though.  It was a deceptively intelligent coaching performance which superseded Brown’s victory over Saints.  Despite whatever reservations or disappointments you may have about what happened it was truly a pleasure to see a different set of fans experience the joys of winning a meaningful trophy.  Moments like Saturday’s mean nothing without having first tasted the barren years and Wire fans have had decades of those.

Leeds (1st) v St Helens (2nd)
For many this would appear to be one of the season’s critical fixtures, however there is little to be gained from pushing too hard on Friday.  Victory for either team should see them finish the regular season as minor premiers.  What does defeat bring for the other?  Not much difference in terms of play-off difficulty.  The pressure of being minor premiers has laid heavy on the heads of the visitors who have succumbed to the champions in the last two Grand Finals.  Leeds, I think, would relish the opportunity to convert a minor premiership to a Grand Final win and given the way their season has unfolded, finishing top and winning at Old Trafford would be some achievement.  Neither side has managed to establish an over bearing consistency with mishaps and convincing defeats along the way.  SKY’s game of the round merely presents both teams with the chance to establish some sort of psychological superiority going into the play-offs.  Leeds and Saints aren’t into psychological superiority when it comes to facing each other.  Other teams may already be onto the road to defeat before they’ve taken the field against these sets of highly-powered athletes.  When Leeds play Saints you can never be sure of what the outcome will be unless form is so heavily weighted in favour of one of the sides and even then we’ve seen surprises in recent seasons.  Think Grand Finals and Challenge Cup match-ups.  There is little psychological advantage at this stage because Old Trafford is all that matters to these two.  Standing in their way are expected to be Hull KR and Huddersfield.  Finish top and you will be rewarded by inviting one of those two new kids into your backyard.  It is no longer the reward that it used to be.  Leeds by 8.

Wigan (5th) v Hull (12th)
So Wigan made it.  Congratulations to the most maligned coach in Super League.  Brian Noble is there and whenever a Noble side is sniffing around silverware there’s always a chance, unless it’s at international level or not against Leeds or Wigan.  The home fans can switch off for a couple of games and enjoy the free-flowing and thrilling style in which they’ve been treated to this year.  They should all be on their knees from this day forward praying they get a shot at Leeds.  Wigan by 12.

Catalans (7th) v Wakefield (6th)
Saturday night’s SKY game is my second pick of the round’s games.  Wakefield will be partaking in knockout footy and remain in the hunt for a very creditable fifth place.  With Wigan hosting Hull that hunt is more than a stretch which shifts the concentration levels in favour of the home side.  We all know that Wakefield are a mystery team and unreliable when it comes to predicting.  The same is true of Catalans.  Is it enough by saying it means more to Catalans than Wakefield?  I think it is.  Should be a cracker.  Catalans by 2.

Celtic (14th) v Huddersfield (4th)
I thought pick your game was only in operation in the play-offs.  Surely the Giants must have fixed this one for themselves.  Play a cup final and then take a trip to South Wales, ideal isn’t it?  Not so sure.  Who wants to be making two such long trips in the space of a week?  Huddersfield fans don’t even like taking long trips down the M62.  Holiday in the valleys or a disaster waiting to happen?  If visas weren’t an issue then it might just have been the latter.  Huddersfield by 4.

Hull KR (3rd) v Warrington (9th)
As professional as Tony Smith is and as professional he makes his sides I cannot foresee the Wolves being drilled into the ground for this game after winning the cup.  We all know the story of what happens in the weeks leading up to and the week after the final, it’s preparation then party.  With the two teams above them facing difficult games which could leave them hanging on their final games to quality for the post-season, Wire could conceivably enjoy their cobweb-soaked champagne week and still be in with a shout of making the grade next week.  Can they take that chance?  If you were in the boss’ chair at Wire what would you do?  You’d be silly to force the play this week.  Let them enjoy their week and if there’s a sniff of a chance next week, go for it.  Whatever happens the season has been a success and anything else is now a bonus.  Besides, what harm does a few extra weeks rest do in preparation for the four nations and next season?  It’s a win-win for Cyrano.  Hull KR by 12.

Bradford (11th) v Salford (13th)
Mathematically it is possible.  Theoretically it is possible.  Realistically it is possible and it will happen.  So have been going Steve McNamara’s regular pre-match talks for the past two months.  We all knew the Bulls would storm along towards the end of the year when there was no pressure on them.  It’s motivational coaching of the highest order.  I wish Chris Caisley could see them now.  Bradford by 6.

******GAME OF THE ROUND******

Harlequins RL (10th)v Castleford (8th)
Sudden death it is.  A promising season is on the verge of lying in tatters for Brian McDermott’s men.  A run of just one win in ten rounds has seen Harlequins RL dive out of the play-off picture.  I’m sure they were third at one point as well.  What has gone wrong?  Injuries.  It’s one thing a team blooding youngsters during confident times and occasionally McDermott has managed to inspire brilliant performances.  Sadly, you can’t live on that.  A team like Harlequins RL needs to stay clear of squad testing absences because the depth isn’t there yet.  It might not be enough for them to win here unless they rack up a good score.  With Castleford travelling to Warrington in the final round a win for either of those clubs may still be enough for one of them to go through.  The spivs need favours.  They have to hope that Wakefield and Hull KR rattle up some big numbers and even then it’ll mean nothing without two points from this game.  Sudden death football is great.  Castleford by 2.

Last round predictions;

Hull by 2 (won by 20)
Hull KR by 8 (won by 4)
Saints by 6 (won by 2)
Warrington by 2 (lost by 12)
Leeds by 54 (won by 68)
Bradford by 6 (won by 24)
Wigan by 1 (won by 3)

A wild gamble on Warrington left the week’s predictions at 6-1.  96-68 overall.
