I'm a massive Madge fan and the fact he played for 6 seasons between 1992 and 1996 shows how utterly awesome he is.

Even though Andy Gregory was a top notch scrum half, I never felt he was a committed Warrington player. So, for me the No7 shirt goes to Parry Gordon. Alongside him at No6 would be Bobby Fulton who edges it over Alex Murphy as Alex was just past his best whereas Bobby was in his prime during his short spell with the Wire.

Very sad to see the news that Jordan Cox has died at the age of just 27.

Question Everything - Five Finger Death Punch

I don’t want to see any team suffer and go bust. I think everyone has had enough of that but, genuine question, Super League decided to break away to prove they could ‘do it better’ than the RFL, should they be entitled to a share of any government money secured?

Let’s face it, if super league had come up with the magic potion and secured a massive dream deal quadrupling (for example) their money, can anyone see them handing some of that money over to the RFL or championship and league 1 clubs to help them survive? Читать дальше...

Pretty generic question but I'm looking for games that posters consider great games in the SL era. Not neccesarily involving your team, but that's fine too. Perimiters would probably be close scorelines, exciting finishes, comebacks, games with biff would also be good. Anything you got.

Though spare me Saints v Bradford (Wide to West)
Huddersfield v Leeds (Halls Aguero moment)
Castleford v St Helens (Play off Drop Goal winner)
And Warrington v Leeds (Offside Penalty 24-26)
etc. Читать дальше...

Found dead at his home in Hull. RIP. Condolences to his family and friends.

I just think the whole presentation of RL needs a revamp. Look at football, RU, cricket, darts on Sky. Half the time it’s not even the games that get the juices flowing but the presentation of the game. Even the NFL (which I find horribly boring) presentation is superb and tempts me in.

I enjoyed Eddie and Stevo to an extent. I think Stevo added a lot more to commentary than we ever gave him credit for and when he left there was a huge void. Same with Eddie now when you look at who’s replaced... Читать дальше...

It is indeed.

Speaking of the wee man, I watched Leeds-v-Bradford at Magic Weekend 2011, the one where we win with a penalty try.

The dummy Rob sells late in that match is bought by three Bradford players, allowing him to waltz through and run half the length of the pitch to score. It's glorious.

Re PPV, Carter's views on the podcast I linked a couple of posts back give a bit of context. As an example, he reckons Wakey v Hudds would maybe find 5K buyers at £5 a shot. That, he feels, would be realistic. Knock off the VAT and it raises £20k. To cover it, using fewer camera angles than sky provides hence a lower quality product, would cost c£25k. Obviously Leeds's figures would be more workable but if Carter's figures are correct - and he sounded like he'd given... Читать дальше...

I put it straight to Paul Cullen that had Bridge stayed...’out of trouble’, you’d still be a Warrington.
“It’s interesting you should say that....”
Make of it what you want.

But an absolute star and game changer at Halifax

I merely threw it in for discussion. In the month since the piece was written, Carter, Hudgell and now McManus have all subsequently expressed interest in jumping back into bed with the RFL as Kramer suggested they would and I don't doubt Pearson will follow suit. Kramer may be as ill-informed as you suggest but I don't remember too many predicting the collapse of the "breakaway" a month ago. Regardless, the claim Lenegan and Elstone are running the show is less and less plausible. Читать дальше...
