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: Blow for Super League as rugby league set to lose crucial TV air time

Title of this article is misleading and is not related to the content at all.

Premier League having more Friday games and more games on Sunday at 2 will not result in Super League losing air time.

Re: Tv deal with sky

Great news for the sport of football.

Sky pay the money because the demand to watch the game is there and its clearly worth their while to splash so much cash.

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

The heal thing might give a load of offside penalties for the first few weeks. The defence is well used to moving up the moment the tackled player looks like their starting to play the ball.

Re: Have the RFL missed a trick? Assessing what the fixtures tell us about the new TV deal

There would be no room in thei...
