Re: Jai Field.

Fair point, Hastings is certainly an "individual" and had very strong ties with Salford - maybe the root of his unhappiness. We didn't see much of Field but he looked totally out of sorts in his last match for us and didn't seem focussed? He looked totally out of sorts & out of place ...

Re: Jai Field fitness update as Wigan Warriors pre-season return date confirmed

Surely this would be covered if Tommy retired which has been banded about. Field/Smith/Tommy/new half seems a bit to much. This isn't me doubting anything I'm staying out of that mudhole, just doesn't make logical sense to me to carry 4 halves. I agree pal, it doesn't make sense, but what does with...

Re: hankinson gone

Bradford Bulls returning to SL via this potential new structure as opposed to promotion is a bold statement indeed! I would hope the RFL would scrutinise their application something rotten! One advantage Wakefield have is although they haven't lifted silverware and do circle around the relegation z...

Re: League v Union rivalry

The thread prompted me to have a look into what the RU salary cap is and to my surprise they are reducing it for 2021/22 to £5m down from £6.4m. It's supposed to be temporary but they were trying to reduce pre-covid as over the 2018 to 2020 seasons (I think) the clubs collectively lost £89m !!! :o ...

Re: League v Union rivalry

Being a kilt wearing jock, I can't stand the stereotypical Twickenham crowd either. Believe me they look down their nose at us, just as much as the League lot!! That said, for 6 Nations games they could sell it out several times over without ever going on general sale. Something league Internationa...

Re: Mitch Clark

Honestly, I think Botica was made to look a far better player than he was by the quality around him at the time. I can’t recall a single time he put a man through a gap. Though he could kick goals (ironically, we would still have won everything with no kicker at all...). sorry, got to disagree with...

Re: The Pink city

So you’re making a point about games on TV despite not actually watching one for years? yes, cos i just need to come on here and read what all the armchair pundits say about sky. No-one has a good word for sky, so dont think i really need to look much further :) and i still stand by the point i am ...

Re: The Pink city

Are you ignoring the new real time stats that they are now showing in Super League games? to be honest i couldnt tell you the last time i watched a game on sky, and i am talking seasons, not weeks the general point still stands though. The premier league has made a significant investment for both f...

Re: The Pink city

Toulouse being in SL isn't the issue for me it's just highlights the issue that's already there. The fans just don't turn up anymore and don't have the same level of commitment to activities and hobbies The sport needs to find a way to appeal to the fans that have the attention span of a goldfish (...
