Re: Super League in talks over staging regular season games in USA

Its a waste of time to bring a SL game to US. The sport has decided it won't allow any clubs from the US to join the league so why bring a SL game over here? The WCC has a bit more logic to it being a neutral venue for the game and potentially raising the profile of NRL and SL in one go. Now we have...

Re: BBC coverage questioned after underwhelming viewing figures

BBC may get the feeds and have their own producer I suppose, but I doubt it, they probably take the feed from the sky producer.

Re: 'Relegate bottom team' Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont's Hull FC dig and Toulouse promoted reveal

It is difficult having a no jeopardy rule for a number of years as each year a different club would be relegated and then depending on the number of years, you could have a club finishing in the top 8 and in a play off spot getting relegated as those below are on a no relegation rule. The one good ...

Re: BBC coverage questioned after underwhelming viewing figures

One problem is that they space out the games by weeks so you never know if one is on or not. If you're not a big fan of the game, you won't become one because its hardly ever on - you would have to seek it out, rather than knowing that there's probably a game you can watch on a saturday afternoon or...

Re: 'Relegate bottom team' Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont's Hull FC dig and Toulouse promoted reveal

Can't disagree with promotion and relegation - why change it? I just assumed, judging by the way they're recruiting, Wakefield back in SL was a done deal. Changing it is down to pro vs semi-pro, finance and timing. The promoted team can't compete even if they have the money because they've been pla...

Re: Liam Byrne receives suspension ahead of Challenge Cup semi-final showdown

He's got the build to be a good un. All he needs to do is get that tackle technique 6 inches lower.

Re: Liam Byrne receives suspension ahead of Challenge Cup semi-final showdown

Well, I'm not cheering about a two-match ban but I still think that if it had happened say, 15 minutes later, it might have been a red. It really didn't look good at all. However, the disciplinary doesn't look great when Makinson (who I rather like as a player) but has form in this area, gets a one...

Re: WILLIE PETERS SIGNS NEW HULL KR DEAL

I was imagining that he'd be off to one of the NRL clubs before the end of this season TBH.

Re: Liam Byrne receives suspension ahead of Challenge Cup semi-final showdown

Move Ellis back to prop as Saturday and then use Walters as a sub and move O'Neill to loose forward, again as Saturday. Or just play Harvey Hill on the bench and change nothign else maybe? Why? It worked in the second half on Saturday, must be something Matty Peet is thinking about. Plus Byrne was ...
