I think that Garreth Carvell (a Morley lad, like Stevie Ward) was representative for the players' union run by the GMB. Not sure what happened to it.josie andrews wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 8:07 am Thought Gareth Carvell also tried to do something similar, a players union? Was that with Jon Wilkin?

Re: Player of the Match medal to honour Bill Ashurst
Very fitting and a great touch by the club once again. I wish King Bill was lining up in the Cherry and white. I agree, Chariots, but "King Bill" could surely only apply to one player? Bill Ashurst was "Sash" iirc. Btw, I went to school with Jim Brennan, a blond-haired lad from ...

Re: RFL Disciplinary
I never realized how many people deeply care about being able to see high tackles and retaining the exact punishment for them that we had last year. Things you learn. Glad Harry didn't get a ban. I didn't think he deserves on when Hooley clearly dives at the ground. What was Ellis supposed the be u...

Re: RFL Disciplinary
Great news that smith is available . Dangerous precedent though that any player up for dump tackle throughout the season will just point to this and argue for the same - I.e just a fine. Depends on the mitigation though... Ref on the field made it quite clear he disagreed with a red as Hooley made ...

Re: Alex Walmsley's passionate player's union plea following Super League tackle rule changes
As a 16 year old, I bought my first motor bike. I rode everywhere pretty much as fast as I could go. I had little sense of danger. When the compulsory crash helmet law came in, I was dead against it. I'm now 72 and still have a bike and ride regularly. I won't set off without helmet, gloves, armoure...

Re: Wigan Warriors to feature on the BBC following new historic broadcast deal, including World Club Challenge
We know we have the product. The BBC and others like The Sportman have the talent to wax lyrical about our sport. Mark Chapman, Helen Skelton have a great opportunity to cement firstly their own careers, latterly Helen, who drives a nice Audi 4x4, but to show why RL can be as big as RU. Better prod...
