The move to summer rugby is in my opinion what has killed off the international game as in tours and no proper tours ultimately has reduced the standing of the international game. The seasons are now in sync with the Aussies still playing in their winter. When they were out of sync a touring interna...

Pathetic from these so called loyal & diehard fans IMO It’s one game ffs! It’s as if they would prefer the club to lose massive amounts of money from the sale of tickets & purchases on the concourses of the East stand from Man U supporters for one game just so they can sit in their own seat...

Never been a fan of the magic weekend. It has meant an extra fixture and if it’s a derby game for us is always a hard fixture. I am also pretty sure you played a weekend of derby fixtures at the normal grounds the overall crowd figure would be higher and I doubt many go and watch every game so it gi...

Great news for the sport of football. Sky pay the money because the demand to watch the game is there and its clearly worth their while to splash so much cash. That demand didn’t just happen though. The whole thing is an incredibly slick operation even down to how the pitches look on TV. The fact t...

Fantastic reading Thanks for posting Josie . Im wishing Father Christmas has this book in hit sack for me 🙏 Seconded. Very enjoyable read. This bit particularly made me laugh: “ Joe Lydon kicked a penalty. While everyone was arguing over the penalty, Joe nicked five or ten metres to make the kick e...

I supported him unreservedly when he was taking typical so-called-fans uninformed criticism last season. I was one of the 'so-called fans' who was vocal about how poor he was for a prolonged period last season. I wasn't wrong. However I, and many others were unaware he was playing on with an injury...

You wouldn't have been because that happened at Central Park against Fev (Brendan Tuuta if memory serves)

I thought the nickname was SuperKel not flying Kel (as in superman)?

I wish him a happy retirement and was pleased to see him lift the GF trophy at OT but overall his tenure was not very good. Saints won the GF four years in a row. We had sporadic success after he took over. Madge was an inspired signing but we’d already suffered Noble too long. After he left Wane ha...

It’s not the shirts that have got small it’s the people who have….

KPP left when his contract expired . It's between KPP and Newcastle to sort out the problem . Nowt to do with Wigan EW Correct. KPP won’t have been the only RL player who ended the season carrying an injury. No idea what Newcastle expected Wigan to do, the arrogant tossers. I suspect if they were i...
