The three big prizes are only given out in August, September and October, so is it too early to take any notice of the Super League table? Well, I guess it depends if youre a half-full or half-empty person.
http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Shon-Coleman-Jersey/ .Most clubs have 18 Super League games remaining and while an optimistic fan might say their team have the potential to pick up 36 points, the reality is that your team will need a minimum of 20 points to finish in the top eight when we enter the next stage of the competition. But that looks a long way off for some teams. It is habits and mindset, not time or games, that become the problem to the teams in the lower half of the league table.Easter is a hugely significant milestone in the season and teams need to stay in contention to give themselves a chance when the weather starts to improve. Go on then: If Widnes finish in the top four I will be their mascot for a match! Phil Clarke The champions have started the season in a similar way to how Chelsea began the Premier League last August. Just one win in the opening five games puts them under huge pressure this week. The Giants currently sit above the Rhinos on points difference and it is unusual to see the most consistent team of the last three seasons struggle as much as they have.Huddersfields performance against Hull KR impressed me and I am certain they will win more than 50 per cent of their remaining games. Next up they have Catalans, Wakefield and Salford and I think that they will pick up six points. However, it is the top of the league that intrigues me most. Widnes and Warrington have in effect swapped places with Leeds and Huddersfield. How have they done it? Barrie McDermott has been impressed by Widnes performances in 2016 Well you could say the Wolves have bought better players. They have the two favourites to win the Man of Steel in Chris Sandow and Kurt Gidley. New players like Tom Lineham and Joe Westerman have added to the squads ability, plus you could argue that they underachieved in 2015 and are more where they should be this campaign.But how do you explain that the Vikings are top of the table? Playing one more than most of the others helps but their squad of players has remained virtually the same. Stefan Marsh, Corey Thompson, Denis Betts and Joe Mellor look ahead to Widnes trip to Wigan on Thursday Widnes have doubled the number of league points after six rounds compared with last year but perhaps more impressively, they have played the best rugby and provided the most entertainment. Admittedly, two of their wins have been against the bottom two teams but they have also beaten Leeds and Huddersfield in convincing fashion. Those wins did come when their opponents had several injuries but timing is everything in life and they had theirs spot on when they beat Hull last week. Sky Live: Wigan v Widnes Joe Mellor says Super League leaders Widnes will be out to make a statement The Vikings have now scored 39 tries in six games and in Corey Thompson they possess a player who could finish the season with the top try scorer award. In addition to him, they have Chris Houston in the second row and Setaimata Sa, but none of those players were big-money signings and I suppose you have to give credit to the coach.From what I see and hear, along with Daryl Powell, Denis Betts is the best coach in the competition and the teams improvement is a reflection of his ability, intelligence and experience. However, their game against Wigan on Thursday will be by far their hardest challenge of the season and perhaps the first time they have faced a top-four team with a healthy squad to choose from. The Warriors will be too strong for the Vikings and we will see them as a mid-table team.I am scared of making any predictions about where Widnes will finish in 2016. I have seen what Gary Lineker said about Leicester City and dont want to strip down to my underwear! I still think that if they finish in the top eight after 23 rounds they will have done remarkably well but I am still not convinced that they will be able to do that.Go on then: If Widnes finish in the top four I will be their mascot for a match!Join the Men United March Join the Sky Sports rugby league team as they walk from York City FC to Elland Road One of the greatest things about working with Sky Sports is the opportunity to meet people from other sports, to share stories with them and learn from them. Well, next week gives me the chance to do that in a different way. On Tuesday, March 22, Brian Carney, Bill Arthur, Barrie McDermott and I will be joining Jeff Stelling from Soccer Saturday on the Men United March.We are linking up with Jeff for one of the 10 days in which he will walk from Hartlepool United to Wembley, and you can join us too. Its all in aid of Prostate Cancer UK, a charity that the rugby league department at Sky have supported for the last four years after some of the team were affected by it.You may have noticed some of us wearing the little badge on screen. Its called the Man of Men, and the entire Leeds Rhinos squad wore them when they attended the Sports Personality awards at the end of last year - with Kevin Sinfield clinching the runners-up award. Jeff Stelling is walking 10 marathons in 10 days Anyone can take part in this great walk, you just need to register at www.menunitedmarch.org. If you come along you can talk rugby with us, football with Chris Kamara, Charlie Nicholas and Ray Wilkins, or just have a laugh up front with Jeff and the other walkers. Sinfield and Eddie Hemmings aim to be at Elland Road as we complete the 29-mile trek from York. It is a rugby section of this walk as we pass through the home of last terms domestic treble winners.It is a long way I know but its for a great cause and it will be a great laugh. We get to stroll through some beautiful Yorkshire countryside and listen to some stories that dont get told on television.If you cant make the walk but want to support Jeff and the rest of us then visit www.menunitedmarch.org or text JEFF to 70004 to donate £3.

http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Carl-Nassib-Jersey/ . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. The drive from Provo, Utah, the home of BYU, to Morgantown, West Virginia, where the West Virginia Mountaineers are from, covers about 1,929 miles.That is far. In fact, it is farther than the distance between any two teams currently playing in the same Power Five conference by almost 400 miles. In the Pac-12, Washington (Seattle) to Arizona (Tucson, Arizona) is 1,537 miles, if youre scoring at home.But yet, maybe as soon as next season, the Cougars and Mountaineers could be Big 12 ... rivals?The Cougars (1-2), who have already played three Pac-12 teams this season, take a swing at the Big 12 on Saturday when they face West Virginia (2-0) -- though they wont be making the Provo-to-Morgantown trip.The game will be played at FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins, in Landover, Maryland. It is kind of a neutral site. Proximity favors a heavy Mountaineer presence, but BYU has a national following with its affiliation to the Church of Jesus of Latter-day Saints and fans that are willing to travel great distances to see their team. BYU officials are estimating about 10,000 BYU fans will be in attendance.That is among the many reasons BYU was one of 11 schools to have a face-to-face interview with Big 12 officials a few weeks back as the conference ponders expansion. The Big 12 has made no commitment to expand. Maybe it will. Maybe it wont. Who really knows?I think we need to expand, said West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, who, along with the other coaches, doesnt get a vote. The thing about the BYU-West Virginia thing, it only would be a once-every-four-year game, I would anticipate. Ive voiced my opinion. All those are in the hands of the commissioner and then the athletic directors and presidents. Theyll get this thing figured out, Im quite certain.West Virginia is already on an island of sorts as a Big 12 member. Iowa State in Ames is closest to Morgantown at 860 miles and Lubbock, Texas, home of Texas Tech, is the farthest at 1,273 miles. Whats another 700 miles?BYU, which competes as an independent in football and has most of its other sports in the West Coast Conference, wants to be in a Power Five conference and makes a good case it could compete in one immediately.The Cougars opened the season with a victory against Arizona and then lost back-to-back games to Utah and UCLA by a combined four points.
http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Ricardo-Louis-Jersey/. The Cougars are 3-2 in their last five against Big 12 opponents and have 21 victories against Power Five schools since 2003, second only to Navys 22 among non-Power Five schools.Just as Houstons game against Oklahoma during the opening week of the season was not an audition, this is not a tryout for BYU.Still, cant hurt to make a good showing.Things to know about the first meeting between BYU and West Virginia.TY-ED UP: Already there is some concern among BYU fans about first-year offensive coordinator Ty Detmer, the beloved former BYU player and Heisman Trophy winner. Detmer had never been a college coach before he was hired by new Cougars coach Kalani Sitake, a former teammate of Detmers.The Cougars offense ranks 113th in the nation in yards per play at 4.66.We have to find our identity in every phase and have something to hang your hat on, said Sitake, also a former BYU player. We dont have that offensively right now. When we need to get a play, you usually go to your go-to play and were still trying to find that. Its way too late going into Game 4 so we need to establish that soon.The Cougars will stick with quarterback Taysom Hill , who beat out Tanner Mangum for the job heading into the season.FAST AND FURIOUS: West Virginia has no such identity issues. The Mountaineers are typical Big 12, up tempo and spread. They are ranked 20th in the country in yards per play at 6.82 yards per play.Senior Skyler Howard has benefited so far from a group of receivers that is holding onto the ball better than last season.BYU ROOTS: Holgorsen is part of the Hal Mumme/Mike Leach coaching tree that uses a version of the Air Raid offense, which has some roots that go back to BYUs prolific passing attacks under former coach LaVell Edwards.A lot of the principles in the passing game were things that all those great quarterbacks were doing back there for BYU, Holgorsen said. And we took them and stole them and maintained them to this day.
