Re: What’s going on at Salford, how involved are the RFL and the NRL's interest in Super League grows...

I'm reading "League Freak" on Twitter saying that the NRL should bring in expansionist clubs in big city's to replace (pretty much) every current SL side (including the likes of Wigan and Saints) They don't understand how sports fandom works in the UK. NRL fans barely support their teams ...

Re: Nigel Wood's RFL return complete as clubs seek Robert Hicks return

I like your plan, morley. It's coherent, and makes sense. Therefore it has no chance whatsoever of ever happening! :D I don't like it. Contraction is the opposite of what we need to, and I don't think the crowd figures hold up in the way you think they would. A sport dropping clubs is contracting, ...

Re: Nigel Wood's RFL return complete as clubs seek Robert Hicks return

He's just after binning IMG. That's all. The "club-led" review's conclusions will be that the club's TV revenues have dropped and IMG haven't raised them back, so we should cancel the contract. (Oh and also get rid of the french teams and bring back PR which is probably what got the champ...

Re: Ashes venues revealed as Wembley and Premier League stadium among RFL picks

Aparently, even though the NRL "really value the international game" there's too many stakeholders to annouce something like that at this point! I imagine they'll drop out around June time citing the Vegas travel.

Re: Hull v Leigh

I actually thought on the review they were blatantly obvious that the first decision was incorrect, although in fairness to the ref, they could easily be missed by the rest but obvious when under scrutiny on the playback. On the second with Briscoe, if he was not in touch why did the linesman put h...

Re: Wigan v Hudds

The first half score wasn't a fluke, neither was the second half score and result. Obviously off the game in the first 40 and Hudds deserved their HT lead. The second half showed what the Wigan lads are capable of. Hudds are bottom of the league and then second half told us why. Astounding crowd of...

Re: Disciplinary from Vegas

I wonder what makes it a grade A vs any other charge. That's really where the decision is made.
