Re: LEIGH LEOPARDS owner Derek Beaumont has named the best player in Super League “by a mile”.

I think partly there's that British mentality in which we are almost too obsessed with the underdog story. For some reason in British culture we much prefer someone who doesn't win but tries really hard - i guess it could be seen as a virtue whereas countries like America and Australia its all abou...

Re: LEIGH LEOPARDS owner Derek Beaumont has named the best player in Super League “by a mile”.

The opportunity to create true stars, or even superstars, comes along very rarely in our sport.

Re: Why World Club Challenge could be at risk with cancellation a possibility

My opinion of the way the Aussies rate the competitions is

Re: Wigan Warriors snubbed as three-man Super League Man of Steel shortlist revealed

The problem with the Man of Steel award is it still doesnt really have a definition of what it is. It isnt the "best player in the competition" award thats for sure. It seems to always have a narrative associated with it. I think Lewis would be a worthy winner but you cant compare his eff...

Re: Abbas Miski update as Wigan Warriors coach provides early squad news ahead of Leigh Leopards showdown

I said when people were arguing for Bevan being on the wing that Miski is exactly the type of Winger you need in these end of season crunch games. He can make the hard yards - and he can still finish the tries
