Re: RFL etc

We've wanted a successful club in London for decades without it happening. One way would be to abolish the salary cap, or at least double it. You can't run a business enterprise in London with a North of England cost base. Part of the rumours I've seen on the internet was a proposed eight team leag...

Re: Why?

Why have we been so poor this season? Genuine question. Almost Every game been a struggle and we’ve been beaten by easily the worst Leeds and Hull sides in living memory. Possibly, a few reasons? It's hard maintaining motivation and excellence (I'm told) after such outstanding success, like last se...

Re: Doug Laughton

The news of Dougie's passing saddens me.

But it also brings to mind the tale of how, at Widnes's peak and his fondness of signing big names from union, there was reportedly a photo of Laughton behind the bar of every Welsh rugby union club, alongside the message: This man is barred!

RIP sir.

Re: Wigan Warriors complete shock double transfer raid of St Helens

Smart signings, according to the Saints academy coach quoted last month... The likes of Dayon Sambou and Jonny Vaughan are in their second year. You look at them in pre-season and they really look the part and are used to playing at that speed and intensity. https://www.sthelensstar.co.uk/sport/2486...

Re: 2025 Kit

That's ok. But a shame the sponsor's logo isn't available in black ink. Guess the point is to stick out, if you pay for the privilege. Think the clue is in the name of the company 😉 Nice wink. But not last night Josephine. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/greenmountprojects_new-look-gp-activity-70816...

Re: 2024 Grand Final WIGAN v HULL KR

I don't think it was a crap game at all, I thought it was a good contest. Wigan's defence held solid, and KR largely fluffed the few chances they had. First v second, deservedly so, and class told out in the end. Class is the right word. Exciting team comprising of skilful, resolute players led by ...

Re: Wigan Warriors duo banned for Challenge Cup Final after landing charges

I can't remember the words exactly, but the prayer goes something like this: "Lord help me to change the things I can change, to accept the things I can't change, and give me the wisdom to know the difference." We have a cup final on Saturday. Everyone from Danson, Rads and Peet and the p...
