Byrne had a banged up hip from last week and just felt it again in the warm up according to Peet, so they decided there was no point pushing him through. Yeah just seen that. With the 8 day turnaround to London I'd be surprised if he wasn't fine for the trip. No point risking him for that game tbh

What is your opinion of the coverage for the main games on sky sports?

You cannot compare the coverage for all of the extra games they are putting on because you don’t have anything to compare them to.

Good question! Funny you should mention this. It came up in conversation last night with my dad. I feel like it's a tactic, mostly because there's not that much deviation from what he's doing. If he were that bad, I think you'd see more errand kicks. I think after the Penrith match he said somethin...

I getwhat your saying but a high kick gives our defence more time to set.Im all for the grubber into space but theres a lot of luck involved and i reckon its just percentages.Huddersfield try was 2 yard forward.I wonder if that gets mentioned all over social media???

Is he really bad at kicking or is it a tactic to let almost every kick be caught on the full? I know some of the kicks are very long OR are up in the air for a while but a lot of them are bog standard and down the throat of the defence. When we think about bygone good kickers like Sinfield, Deacon, ...

Byrne injured in warm up

Great figures for BBC but 80,000 for Sky? Surely not.

The current shenanigans about ticketin has lead me to reflect on how difficult it is now to watch a game of rugby especially for a casual or occasional spectator who isn't a season ticket holder. We once had cash pay on the day turnstiles when a casual speccy might say its a nice day I will go and ...

Keeping everything crossed for Mike Cooper. The guy deserves some luck and hopefully it’s not a long term one again. I’m not sure he’d have got back on the field had it been as bad as last time so hopefully that’s a good sign. Does make you wonder whether he was brought back to early and questionin...
