Good observation by your good self and others on this topic. It is difficult to understand sometimes the anti comments against some players wearing the P&B. When I stood in the South Stand before moving across the pitch to the North Stand there was this bloke who stood near us who ranted and raved every week against whoever happened to be the 'current' scapegoat. You had to think, what is going on in his head ? Fans have their favourites, of course they do... Читать дальше...

I agree out and out mergers won't happen for reasons we all learned in 1996. As I understand it the Government are to allow behind closed doors matches in June? I can't see any of the bigger clubs not being at that starting gate so I think the leagues will be completed accordingly. The players are there, the contracts are signed, the TV is on, a big the audience is awaiting....Hurrah!!

Pretty bleak stuff from Agar regarding retention of our out of contract players, basically not doing anything with them yet and if another club comes in for them, then so be it. Seeing the Senior Twins extending at the Giants, id be gutted if we lost someone like Holroyd, who iv seen mentioned is out of contract, when other clubs are still planning and signing for post Virus.

The older players, im not as concerned about, but a young potential star like Holroyd needs to be signed up asap imo. Читать дальше...

A mandatory reduction in the cap, even if it's only temporary due to the prevailing economic conditions, is a backward step IMO and as you say Alffi what about current contracts? Yes we are probably fortunate at Warrington, but if the guys in West Yorks only want to spend £1.8m there's nowt stopping them

The Championship resumes initially behind closed doors, screened live on LCTV/Subscription channel. , but then is played to reduced capacity, say 1500 in LSV, to satisfy safe distancing but that means it's ST only but again is shown live on LCTV or another subscription channel.
Would you pay £30 per game to watch via subscription?

Yeah I think Cooper is underappreciated, probably he slipped under the radar because he emerged in the team at a time when we had a strong pack and we weren't desperate for the next new hope so weren't pinning massive expectations on him.

Steve Pickersgill seemed to get more hype than either Cooper or Paul Wood. There was serious buzz about him when he was coming through.

The Wilderspool point is interesting too. Wilderspool was more cliquey in terms of certain types of supporters congregating in different parts of the ground... Читать дальше...

That's BS and you know it Perry Mason. Some tin-pot journo called Mathew Shaw leaked it on Twitter, which led Paul King (Salford Director) to make the statement. Having done some research it appears Mr Shaw is from Halifax (Evalds' home town), so doesn't take Einstein to work out where the leak came from.

The same being parochial attitude also applies to many supporters, especially where the idea of some clubs merging to form bigger and stronger clubs in what is today, far harder economic times.

Just a bit of a reminder to people who are self isolating and looking for something interesting to do, to anyone thinking of writing a novel about their own life and family and to those who do not believe anything in this life is free.
I have written six novels all with a strong rugby league background and based loosely on my own life and times which started on the first full day of the war over eighty years ago!
At book signings and elsewhere I have met many rugby league people and others... Читать дальше...

Embarrasing article from the Mail on Sunday. Even the readership thought so.

In a desperate attempt to smear Starmer as some sort of landed gentry, they actually uncovered the fact that over twenty years ago he bought a field so his mum could use it as a donkey sanctuary.
