I've said for years that Penrith would be the place to start a franchise in Cumbria. Its easy to get to from the NW and from Yorkshire , it would be 'neutral' for all current Cumbrian RL fans, it's a big town in its own right, and the potential 'twinning' potential with the Panthers could be great ...

Whilst I agree with some of your post, it’s about striking a balance. If you start going wide all of the time, the defensive team don’t need to be compact in the middle and can spread out more. That means there isn’t the space out wide anymore. It’s a combination of bartering down the middle to mak...

A great game of rugby league, all 34 players gave it everything. The biggest difference between the two sides was the bounce of the ball or should I say the woodwork. Saints never looked like crossing the whitewash, we created several chances but our execution wasn’t good enough. Had we had 50% of ...

I don’t read it as anything other than an interesting insight into how Wigan are bringing out the best of him, by making him face up to self destructive habits. The Hardaker stories follow the same theme, and in both cases it reflects very well on the club. It does - and Lam must have a lot to do w...

13 home games in 12 team league meaning you play every team twice and 3 teams 3 times. What is the point? It is ridiculous. It's a 27 game season. Playing each of the eleven other teams twice is 22 games, so that gives 5 extra. Of these, 1 is at Magic, so 2 home and 2 away. In total each team will ...

Come on SL, pull your finger out!

Not sure if they bother for play-off games?

I’ll definitely miss seeing him play

He will have to find another good player to pull to pieces every week!

There is no one, IL will have to sign Makinson for me

Never thought I would see the day that you would rather sign Makinson over Ah Van

He’s named in the squad but I hope that’s all it is! 🤬 This is too important a game to be sentimental about a player who isn’t 100% match fit! Who are you referring to Josie ?. I presume its G Burgess. I'm sure its not Lockers as Meds is suggesting. For me, Greenwood on bench in place of Flower. Sm...

Tough on Harry Smith, but I think we'll rightly go for 4 forwards on the bench, which won't include Byrne or G Burgess.

Spare a thought for Marshy, Manfredi and Havard too.
