Sam was offered marquee money for four years by Wigan, the Catalans' offer was similar. Sam admits that he was shocked by the size of our offer but he chose to go to France. We didn't 'let him go'.

Agree that a short-term loan (maybe more than one) is the way to go. He's still young for a prop but he did play 15 times for Wakey last season so he's not without experience. When he's ready I'd like to see him given some games for us. We may need him later in the year and, even if we don't get lot...

Great to see Ethan back in the squad. Even though our pack has been strong this season, we're not at our best without Ethan playing. Has anybody heard an up to date verdict on Walters? I was under the impression that he was hoping to be back this weekend following a scan on Monday.

Saints not at their best but that performance by wire must be the best by any team so far this season. Makes me sad to see Williams playing so well for another team. He was MOM by miles. When we play them (may not of course be in the CC) wire's left side attack will be a real test for Miski and Keig...

Both ours arrived today with all details correct. Looking forward to the next couple of games now. I'd still be interested to know how many plastic cards (including those not asked for) they produced in the end.

As somebody who doesn't own a smartphone, I'd be interested to know how many physical tickets the club has been asked to produce. If anybody knows, please tell.

Leeds were poor but wire seem to be finding some form. I'll be interested to see how they go against saints in the cup. The form line through catalans seems to suggest it will be close so perhaps we'll find out how much impact Burgess is having on their performance.

If you haven't watched it make sure you find the time. RL is simply the best sport in the world.

I'm sure we all hope that Nsemba and Walters are our long-term answers at backrow (assuming they can play on opposite sides?) but it's too early to make a decision yet. Clearly Matty Peet doesn't think that Jumior is ready yet so we have to see how much progress he makes this season. He's got great ...

Yes, can't complain about that.
