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 (...

Re: Disciplinary minutes revealed: why Saints quartet escaped bans for the Grand Final

Re: Sts v Leeds

Does he really? I do accept Roby had some quiet games against us when MM played but how long ago was that? And given hookers don’t really directly compete against each other (like fullbacks) the way props or opposite wingers do, it’s an irrelevant comparison. No sane person would choose MM over Rob...

Re: What are the challenges / issues Rugby League is facing?

was going to post something similar to WF1985 (but wouldnt have worded it so well :) ) Play-offs IMO currently make RL a long pre-season, with the odd game of intensity, but they tend to be Wigan v Saints, Wire and poss Leeds. Outside of those games i struggle to get up for them as it often feels li...
