I appreciate the "journeyman" type player (or whatever name you'd apply) as I think every good team not only has them, but needs them. I think this originates from bringing my lads up - one of them played 2nd row for Churwell juniors. He wasn't great on attack, and didn't get enough passes...

Halifax used to be well supported in the late 80s.They always brought a massive away following at central park I used to love the games v Halifax. As you say, big away following on the Kop at Central Park and great atmosphere at those games and Thrum Hall was a treat for any of our younger fans who...

That gives 9,857 average across the league, albeit without Hull KR.

Imagine, for example, a resurgent Bradford replacing London - it would surely give a 10,000+ average.

I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to wait til 2029, but the first try scorer ever in a Wembley final was Syd Abram. Syd was born on Liverpool Road in Hindley and played ce...

Must credit Kris Radlinski for his part in Bevan making this decision. It seems to me that the support he had from the club over the past year or more - time off, help with visas for his dad and brother - will have played a big part in him deciding to sign the new contract.

Depends how long Willie and Faz last. I can see this season being Isa's last, and maybe one more year for Liam. Then there is the question of how Walters and Nsemba perform. Both look good, but still unproved to a certain extent. As has been said, Ellis is wearing 13 and playing the third prop role....

Interesting that the London crowd figure isn't given, it looked like a crowd of max. 500 on TV. Think you’re being generous at 500 to be honest,while watching it I took the abstract view that the yellow in the seats where people and that way it’s a very healthy crowd :lol: :lol:; If you rely on awa...
