Re: Liam Byrne

I think this season will be the one who hopefully see him come of age. He, amongst others, got flogged too much as a youngster under Lam. More recently we’ve had a very weak pack & there was the period last year we got decimated by injuries and not only was he playing throughout but was injured...

Re: MATT PEET intends to build his Wigan team around leading player

Suspect one of NickyKiss's "ones that got away" is 2015 and McGuire's apparent knock on. Along with the Flower debacle the previous year. Yes the Leeds GF where McGuire knocked on, just so Leeds could win the treble! Not the first time we’ve been robbed by Dirty Leeds!! With Bent Haler as...

The Premier League deal puts things in perspective as far as RL's standing goes. By my reckoning, if you knock off 10% for management and admin of the PL (a mere £670 million over 4 years), and share the rest equally between the 20 teams, then they each get . . . £75,000,000 per season!! That's app...

Re: St Helens swoop to re-sign young gun from Wigan Warriors as boss Matty Smith lauds full-back

St Helens have re-signed young full-back Beri Salihi from rivals Wigan Warriors ahead of the 2024 Women’s Super League campaign, with head coach Matty Smith backing her to ‘make it to the top’. The 18-year-old is a Saints academy product, but departed the Red V for Wigan in search of gametime at se...

Re: Any more to come?

Rumour on rlfans saying Harry Smith has an NRL contract offer on the table as well as a contract extension, If true then it will be interesting to see how it plays out, If he goes who could we get to replace him? If he went now it be a disaster. Just had a look and there's hardly any standoff's ava...

Re: Super League set for major six again and play the ball rule changes

The penalty instead of the 6 again will certainly stimey Stains continual giving away a 6 again penalty when the opposition is on the first tackle.

Harry's kick

Did no one else see the kick from Harry Smith leading to Newmans try?
I expected to see several comments on it, bullet speed and bullet accuracy, absolutely amazing.
