Re: Tonight v Hull KR

Not sure who said Thompson is no good, but pure rubbish if they did. My point was that his workload has been too high, though the fact that he's still been outstanding is absolutely to his credit. I'm hopeful, confident even, that we will be playing at Old Trafford next month. I think it would be w...

Re: Tonight v Hull KR

The issue with players staying down, and it is an issue, is that from that players perspective it is a win-win situation, or at least a "no lose-win". There is absolutely zero incentive for a player NOT to stay down. The worst that happens, from his perspective, is nothing. The best is a s...

Re: Tonight v Hull KR

Ref really is trying his best to go be it to Hull KR. Offsides, ball steals, high shots. Take your pick If anything, I'd say we've done better from the ref than they have. We scored twice while they were down to 12, and the Burgess yellow was harsh. Which game are you watching mate? Professional fo...

Re: IT’S WARRIORS MATCHDAY

I am looking forward to this game with interest. Firstly I am of the opinion that the LLS is meaningless, or at least not really that important, so for me it's just another game. However, I think Peet will treat it as a "mini semi final" and for that reason, want to get a certain level of ...

Re: New players.

And for the avoidance of doubt, this isn't just a pay freeze, it's a real world pay CUT (of around 20% or so depending upon where you start the measure). It's the same as sitting all the players down in 2019 and saying "you will get a 20% pay cut over the next 5 years if you play our sport".

Re: New players.

Don’t forget that most players will be due an inflationary pay rise and with the salary cap remaining the same, and with upgrades that means less money to spend on new players. Why will they? Wouldn’t expect this to be built into their contracts but rather based on perceived value and performance. ...

Re: Why, why, why???

I often wonder how big, if any, the disadvantage of not wearing your normal colours is.

How often a player may, even subconsciously, make a pass or offload on the basis of the shirt colour that he is used to seeing.

Maybe it's worth 1%, maybe nothing, maybe more.
