Pretty laughable really. Another example of the complete lack of competent governance in Super League and in Rugby League in general. There should have been far more severe fines and a suspended points deduction that would be a true deterent to the clubs and make them actually do something about what went on. The whole thing just seems to have been swept under the carpet, I've not seen any banning orders being announced. Presumably the clubs will know who travelled and the CCTV of the trouble was very clear. Читать дальше...

His £80 flights will be to Stansted / Gatwick, no use to us Northerners.

Saturday was a bit of a reality check I thought and certainly one for me. I spoke last week about having a sniff of beating the Aussies with the strength in our pack but it got mullered by a Tongan pack that whilst strong, isn’t a patch on what Australia would throw at us. I was really shocked by James Graham’s performance and when you think there are huge question marks over Sam Burgess, that’s two World Class forwards we may be down come next seasons Ashes series. As dominant as Thompson and Walmsley have been at super league level... Читать дальше...

When people are bagging wingers for a pack getting battered, it sometimes tells you more about them than the players they complain about.

There aren't the players with the ability to execute that style of rugby now, which is why no team really plays like that.

Castleford are now producing (well through Elite Sports) their own brand for their Kits and Leisure wear ‘club Castleford’ I wonder if we may consider doing the same from next year?

I don’t know whether it looks like a good initiative or a bit tin pot?

Agreed. Don't know why they persist with it. The black away kit is quite decent.

Suprised they have released all 3 at the same time though.

Or heading over to HKR alongside McGuire?

Apparently we are in for Kruise Leeming! Heard this a few times now. I know we want a British Hooker, but I’m not sure Leeming would be the fit, he’s not exactly the controlled Hooker that we want, I would prefer to stick with what we have and surely the Giants will command a fee for their first choice!

Just been told that Rob Burrow has left his role at the academy, would be very disappointing if true.

Pickersgill will be probably in a inflated wage after we convinced him not to sign for Fev last year.

If he's happy with Brown and Stephenson at 1 then he might have been convinced to cut the cloth a bit more.

Bulliac put it better than I could have done in the post above

Any petition needs to be petitioning someone - it appears that this petition is vaguely aimed in the direction of the club, the Council and the RFL, to somehow 'hold them to their commitment' to bring the club back to Bradford.

Well, I'm sure you won't find any arguments there...

But how exactly is that meant to happen? Because none of those organisations has the proverbial pot to urinate in. Читать дальше...

He would definitely class a non Federation trained player as he played his academy years in Aus. As for whether he fills an overseas quota spot The EU don’t have a free movement of people agreement with Turkey but I’m not sure of the legalities of the association agreement the EU has with Turkey so cannot say for sure. Someone else may know.

They published a statement on their website thanking the players being released for their services to the Club. He was one of the ones listed.

Most of the Tongan squad were born in New Zealand and Australia, lived all their lives there and many of them have played for them as well.

Take Jason Taumalolo for example, born in New Zealand, played in Australia, represented Tonga, then defected to New Zealand and now he’s a proud Tongan again? By all means be proud of your heritage, but if we’re going to complain about Austin, Hastings and Coote lets call out the others doing it as well.

Joker - bit of a strange one this; the first part of the film is almost a case study of mental illness, and how society neglects and further alienates sufferers - with shades of the loner/incel thing, which is very zeitgeisty in the US. It has small elements of the Batman mythos clumsily crow-barred in, but they don't detract from a tour-de-force performance by Joaquin Phoenix - who is painfully good; he's difficult to look at in many scenes.

The second part takes all that and turns it into... Читать дальше...

The document that was leaked over the weekend, and forced Kwasi Kwarteng to scurry onto the news media to defend, makes this argument moot; workers rights and protections were *deliberately* removed from the legal element of the deal, which makes them fair game in a post-Brexit situation. And anyone who does not see the creeping US style gig economy that we have now as being accelerated by that, is either wilfully dishonest, or thick.

I am not surprised and yet I am by this news. It makes sense in terms of where the team needs to go; Singleton and Peteru both going plus the Prior rumours all add up.

The next attention probably falls on Cuthbertson; he was actually very good I thought for a handful of games at the back end of last season but was annoyingly AWOL for large parts otherwise.

If we can get a better prop replacing two which weren’t really there, that seems good business with the youth coming through. Читать дальше...
