Re: Smithies

It's beginning to look ominously as if disciplinary decisions are being based on reputation or possible past behaviour. Nothing in the Saints match looked as if it merited off the field penalties. Compare it with the Hull derby where it looked like WWIII was about to break out for most of the time ...

Re: Team for Saints

Chris Radlinski should be an expert on a cut foot, he played quite well at Murrayfield in 2002, ( co-incidentally also against Sentelins) with one.

Re: Best set of Wigan backs?

These backs were from 1959 —60. I would have liked to pick Alan Davis and Frank Carlton but they were just a little later. 1:- Fred. Griffiths 2:- Billy Boston 3:- Eric Ashton, mainly because he dominated the position but l think Billy B would have made any centre look good. Still l was very young (...

Re: Rugby union's new tackle height laws may be a sign of what's to come for league

How are they going to protect someone’s head during either a ruck or a maul? Like wise when you are in a scrum and both packs are pushing at each other your head is where it is, you can’t move it very much, especially when you are in the front row. Personally l hope they make it unplayable as it’s a...

Re: Whitehaven v Wigan - this weekend!

Half time Whitehaven 8 Wigan 0 Whitehaven have had the better territory and they are defending well, keeping Wigan mostly in their own half. Whitehaven seem to be benefiting from playing last week were as Wigan are understandably a bit clumsy and clunky. It’s enjoyable to watch and Whitehaven are pl...

Re: Charlton Athletic

Ian Leneghan has had a connection with London Broncos in the past. Where this leaves any possible future purchase of the D W Stadium l don’t know, does it kill it stone dead as according to F A rules you can only be involved in one club at a time? Can you be the landlord of one club whilst being the...

Re: Happy Birthday

It’s a shame to limit it to one memory. From the fifties I can just remember Ken Gee kicking for goal from just outside the 20 yard line and 10 yards from the touch line. Everyone in the stands expecting him to land short due to the water an old fashioned rugby ball absorbed ( it was like kicking a ...

Re: Green Vigo

If it’s proved to be connected to having Early Onset Dementia, can you sue the RFL for not protecting you from the emotional battering you have received supporting a club?

Re: Bevan French - STAYING or GOING (merged)

Has there ever been a thread before that has had over 46, 700 views and over 400 posts? It shows how much it means to fans, but unfortunately we still don’t know if we will have him playing for us in the future or not. You can only hope that if it’s true about his brother coming it means a longer co...
