There had been questions over the selection of the home of Leeds Rhinos as the decider, with the ground only holding 19,700 fans.

    The South Sydney Rabbitohs are consistently learning about the new rising talents in their ranks, partially due to significant injuries, and some down to luck. There is only so much luck before it can be put down to hard work, skill and most importantly, making the most of opportunities when given to them, in this case by Wayne Bennett.

    The Salford Red Devils have chosen to appeal the two-match ban handed to Joe Shorrocks in the loss to Leeds Rhinos last weekend, which could prove costly. The RFL issued 10 Super League players with disciplinary charges after Round 2, with Shorrocks the first to be banned this season.

While it was somewhat harsh to the ears, it's not really a surprise that Salford's new owners aren't rugby league people. Business is business, and Salford have the land as a USP. Credit to Irwin for fronting up for this consortium as nothing but a punching bag.
