On the back of the commentator thread, it had me thinking, what else is devaluing Super League currently? I made the short leap to referees. Whether it be sky high penalty counts, inconsistency, or the fact our referees often leap to decisions based on emotion (Gildart getting his penalty reversed for ironically tapping a player on the head comes to mind).

For me it’s not that 2020 referees lack the game control that some their predecessors had, but it almost seems they are trained to reembody Steve Ganson in his hay day... Читать дальше...

Been watching some of the games from the golden decade and I honestly don't think there's been a better 2nd rower to play for Leeds than Ali Lauiti'iti

If that's the case you'd feel pretty aggrieved if your wage had been cut and then the club used some of the money from your cut wages to sign someone else.

Would put money on the season for both competitions going that way. Without fans there is no incentive for many to get going again, it will cost them too much.
What happens then to the full time squads in the leagues is the question.

Pearson stated we are approx £200k over the cap as it is, which I assume is the added extra of getting Fonua, so not all our squad can play currently.

Peter Norbury or should I say Whelans Stooge would never had been in position to sack Monie, if it had not been for the Shareholders in 1997 selling out the club out by accepting Whelan's offer of £125 for each £1 share which led led to him getting 79% of the shares and ownership of the club.

Saw an article about this somewhere - the Aussie press, most likely - which talked about how Mal Meninga qualified to play for France as one of his parents (mother, if memory serves) is from New Caledonia.

Love that redscat very funny, those South Africans were lighting fast and exciting to watch with ball in hand. By the way I also found lots of 50s and 60s programs.

Despite that Leeds are still financially in a much better position than most. They’ve still got £1.1m in the bank plus some nice shiny new assets which can always be borrowed against if necessary.

Each day we will give you three clues to the identity of a player who has played in Super League (at some point since 1996). You have to work out who the player is from the clues and submit your guess. There may be more than one correct answer, but you have to get the one that we have sealed in a virtual envelope.

Once the player has been correctly guessed then we will post on the thread, the thread will stay open until he is guessed or everyone loses interest. We’ll keep a running tally of correct guessers. Читать дальше...

It’s mad to think that Chris Sandow is currently the same age as Gareth Widdop. At 31, Sandow would still be threat in any side just shame he hasn’t been able to sustain his fitness and sort out his attitude / off field issues.

In RL Koukash was remarkably unsuccessful despite the money he ploughed recklessly into Salford. Broke contracts, broke the salary cap, no significant increase in crowds or revenue, academy funded by fans donations and all to finish 14th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 7th & 9th before sodding off.

Koukash is not someone whose example should be followed.
