Re: Ian Lenagan

A big thank you to Ian Lenagan from me for the success he brought to the club. Just prior to him taking over we lost a C Cup semi to Catalans at Warrington and it was a case of where do the club go from here. Maurice and DW seemed like they had run out of ideas and their race had been run. Mo gave D...

Re: Wigan Warriors injury update with Ethan Havard to miss start of Super League season

Bad news for Ethan and the club. A very good players.

Re: 19th man

Said for years that the number originally named in the match day squad should all be available to play. It used to be 19 players named and now is 21. So why reduce them to 17 an hours or so before KO? Have them all available to play. OK name the starting 13 plus subs as now but instead of four have ...

Re: Harry Smith

I think Harry's 24 by next season. He's pivotal to the teams performance and keeping him should be a priority. Any NRL offer will be massive and Mr Danson will have to look hard at a new deal. Whether the club could give him the "club trained" concession under the salary cap is something t...

Re: Salford Red Devils placed under special measures due to financial concerns

If Bradford want to be taken seriously they need a modern stadium. As to replacing Salford then they've a long way to go. Bradford's finances will not change until they find a new ground of their own. They have a far bigger fan base than Salford but again the Reds need to sort out their rent. If Sal...

Re: Challenge Cup dates confirmed as competition takes on nine round format

SL clubs should join at Rd 6. The RFL tried bringing them in earlier and when round after round SL clubs were drawn against each other we got to the semis and there were Championship clubs in the draw. It is very possible that should SL clubs join at Rd 3 and they be drawn against each other there'd...

Re: Salford Red Devils placed under special measures due to financial concerns

Doesn't sound good. Hopefully they can have matters settled before too long.

Re: Super League set for major six again and play the ball rule changes

I like the change to the six again rule. Overdue IMO. It's not too difficult to see what they trying to achieve with the new ruck rules. Whether it is successful or not will depend on the players, coaches and match officials. No mention of the Captain's Challenge. We've been informed discussions are...

Re: NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS have been rocked by the serious injury to former Wigan Warriors star Kai Pearce-Paul.

Newcastle have five months before their season starts.
I'm sure they will have plenty time to sort out Kai's problem.

Re: Cap and marquees

I thought that if Owen Farrell signed he would come under another exemption from the SC namely "From Another Sport" so their salary in the first year is 100% exempt. Which seems to make 4 exemptions. Agree with the Non Fed Trained, Fed Trained and Club Trained. With French, Thompson and Li...
