Marching Into March

Well, we're now definitely into March. We were into March in the last post, but still, this hasn't been pointed out, so here we go. I realise that recently my posts have just taken the form of YouTube links and I'm trying to veer away from that here. So this post won't contain any youtube links, be grateful.

This week I've been watching and been very praising of the Super League season that's gotten under way yet again. This again looks like being a fantastically competitive season and from the highlights I've seen on the Super League Show is well, well worth watching. It's extremely competitive, close and no side is going to run away with it. It looks like being another great season for rugby league, and the Super League really is blossoming. It's a shame it doesn't get more media attention because it's by far the most competitive, open and enthralling league in British sport yet noone really knows much about it.

On the same subject, one thing I've kept meaning to refer to, yet haven't, is the St. Helens vs Brisbane Broncos World Club Challenge game. For those of you who aren't aware, this is the annual challenge between the winners of the Super League and the winners of the NRL in Australia. This was a couple of weeks back and I've yet to link to it or talk about it, but this was a cracking game, competitive and yet utterly overlooked by the media who have preferred to focus on the average mediocrity of the Six Nations instead of this.

Besides all that, here's a link to the highlights on BBC. Well, well worth watching.
