Re: Leeds Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield "blown away" as fundraising efforts for Rob Burrow and MND Association surpass £5

Well done "Sir Kev"! The emotion and clear desire and determination to help a mate show the true RL community spirit. The £1.5 million now reached is great too, but worth almost as much is the piece on the main BBC news: positive coverage of RL on the main 6 o' clock news!! What would that...

Didn't know they were still going (not a joke).

Re: Reflections on this season

Great posts and good to feel the 'positive vibe' as we look to next year. I particularly agree with last comment about Bullock, and I'm excited about his partnership with Singo. Hoping that Partington continues his upward trajectory, and I'm sure that he can develop the leadership and ball-handlibg ...

Reflections on this season

My reflections on this season. It's mainly been a "proving the doubters wrong" season for my money. Adrian Lam: must admit I was unsure about him. Not any more. Sam Powell: it's become clear that he played to Wane's instructions and has had more freedom/better advice under Lam. He's still ...

Re: Bradford Bulls planning Odsal return whether they get in Super League or not

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 ...

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad

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...

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad

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 ...

Re: “It got to the crux where Wigan said it’s our way or the highway”

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...

Re: 2021 BETFRED SUPER LEAGUE SEASON TO START 11 MARCH

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 ...
