If you missed the rugby this week, where have you been? The Bulls¹
v Rhino's² game had many twists, turns and chances but the Bulls showed their metal to make it look easy running out winners. But, like all semi-final games, controversy was the word after two high shots that went unpunished. The standard of the merry whistle blower (ref) has gone downhill and they cannot seem to make any kind of decision
at all. But despite that the final score was:

All eyes are on next Friday's game between the Rhino's and the Warrior³'s as they battle it out for the right to play in the Grand Final at Old Trafford on October 18^th.

Well, on the form of Wigan last week - when they blew the holders St Helens out the race with some ease - and the confidence they will have going into the game, I must tip them to win next week. But the one weakness they did show last week was that they took their foot off the gas and Saints went over for a try that was not given and one that was. If they both had been given it could have been a very different outcome all together.

Salford City Red's will be in top flight rugby again next season thanks to a win today over Leigh. Salford had a good start racking up the points before half time and I thought it was done and dusted but Leigh, who didn't see much of the ball in the first half, clawed their way back to be only a try and a conversion away from tying the game. But Salford who, on paper, were the stronger side, weren't going to be robbed of a place in the Super League. They kept fighting and coming up with the trys that saw them win. Final score:

Tickets for the Super League final for the Bulls go on sale next Tuesday. I would advise geting there early if you are wanting to go the game as it is all-ticket and you can't pay at the gate.

There is still a chance to have a go at the game I'm starting next season. Pick a box for a Super League team, follow them through the season, collect points and get on the leader board. Be quick as there are only 12 teams so 12 boxes. Click Here to leave me a message for more details or to take part.
