For all those people now faced with the prospect of having to self isolate and wondering how to pass the time, can I suggest something to consider doing that is interesting, educational, enjoyable and cheap.
Try writing a novel based broadly on your own life.
This is something that I started doing in 1988. It was inspired by my interest and knowledge of the game of rugby league, its history and characters, a family tree going back to 1777 and the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. Читать дальше...

I'm looking forward to a home game it seems ages since we saw our favourites run out at HJ HQ, how do you think we will get on against a French outfit hot on the heels of their hard fought victory at Wigan last time out

While we are all on lock down we thought we'd run a little name game competition. We've selected a band name (obviously it's going to be obscure) which you have to guess, the problem is that your guess must start with the last letter of the previous guess. We've all done this before.

All we will tell you is that the band or individual has had a UK Album Chart top 10 at some point since the charts started (according to Wikipedia).

The person who sets up the correct guess (the post before)... Читать дальше...

With Rugby suspended and most people acting sensibly and staying at home, it is time to help one another out by reviewing something which you think fellow board users might like to avail themselves of to pass the time.

It could be a book, TV show, film, or the latest album or track by your favourite band. Just include the title, where it can be viewed or listened to or purchased (online) and tell us all what you think. Try an avoid spoilers, you are suggesting something for others so it would be pointless to give away the ending. Читать дальше...

Most rah rah clubs have large debts which they can only service through high corporate matchday income, inflated commercial deals and rich owners (which a number of RL clubs also have).

Their top grade teams are probably no less vulnerable to collapse than ours.

I am not sure if many know my grandson Jack (5) has Leukaemia . He is doing well but will be one of the population who receive a 12 week isolation letter this week. Jack attends matches occasionally with his brother Charlie , Dad , Janet & my self.

This week i received an E Mail from Carl`wishing us all good health. He also offered us assistance , if required from the club.

Thank you Carl , much appreciated by the family.

For all the criticism we give the RFL and our clubs, I wonder where all the money in the Aussie game goes.

It truly is night and day. Vossy is very well served on Super League and my hope was Sky would make him an offer to relocate here to call Super League. Instead we are left with terrible commentators.

How Pinky and Perky are allowed anywhere near a microphone astounds me.

Kevin Walters isn't great on the Fox coverage of NRL but still manages to be better than the jokers we have.

Ray Warren and Sterling are just different level and it annoyed... Читать дальше...

My dad, who has an OAP season ticket, had a call from the club this week asking if he was ok and if he needed any groceries. This is an act of pure class from the club and hopefully sets an example for us all to look out for each other.

With sport in general being in major trouble because of the epidemic could it "force" a merger of the rugby codes?
If the financial package was good enough could we see a hybrid game?

It may seem far fetched at the moment, BUT!!!!

We watched Fax TV on YouTube last night. It was a rerun of the 2010 Grand Final against Featherstone and made for a great couple of hours viewing. What a team that was and what a fantastic game of Rugby League. Highly recommended. Up The Fax!

It's been a tough start for the Titans, parra and Canberra will probably be in the top 4 this season.

It seems madness that the comp is still continuing though

TBH anyone claiming that this is being blown out of all proportion, won't accept what is being written in the press, thinks (almost) all the governments of the world are overreacting, that the medics being interviewed about the situation in Italy are lying needs treating with either contempt or pity.

Then again maybe he's the absolute world expect on viral diseases and their spread but I doubt it.
