After watching the Hudds match I have nothing but admiration for all RL players, and the beatings they put their bodies through.

I am concerned about the fixture list and what that is doing to the players.
I a genuinely have some fears for their welfare and have to question the '2 games in a week' strategy.
OK - everything is hand to mouth at the moment in RL and other ares of life, but I do genuinely worry about player welfare at the moment - particularly as I feel the winner of the... Читать дальше...

Winning at Wembley is a massive emotional drain as much as physical.
In 2014 With a much stronger side we lost all 4 matches post Wembley to end the season
In 2015, we lost 3 in a row post Wembley until the they think it’s Hall over try.
Last year wire lost 7/8 SL games around the semi and final including to us in last match.
With Covid and more games thrown it’s no wonder this lesser side looks knackered.
We are down to 3 props one being Holroyd Who is 19, Mik is still 21.
Wigan have g Burgess... Читать дальше...

They’ll need to pad out the play off teams in case of covid outbreaks, and the need to put a game on for Sky I’d have thought?

I’m torn on it
Performances have improved, and the style of rugby is much better, but both those things had got a lot worse under Radford so the only way was up.
It’s still a honeymoon period, but he’s done it in very difficult circumstances.
Ordinarily I’d say see how he goes with a full pre season, but AP will be desperate to keep membership levels up.
To me, we either generate enthusiasm by either a new coach or a big signing. Unfortunately it looks like Benji won’t be available now! Читать дальше...

If Singleton hadn't moved from Toronto to Wigan nobody on this board would have said he was a better player than LMS or Amor. 2 games in cherry and white and it's combined team time.

Give the guy a break.....it sounds like he's had plenty of chances to not come but he's still willing to give us a go.

I for one will be delighted to see him over here, whether he stays for 3 months or 12 months. It's a huge commitment for anyone to go to work in a foreign country in these crappy times, so fair play to the guy for sticking to his original decision and being prepared to come over in the first place.

Just to add to my post, just seen this. Yes it's our main rival and we could easily scoff but news like this is heartbreaking.

St.Helens R.F.C. are reigning Super League champions. We’re proud of that.

We are one of the oldest Rugby League clubs in the country; a local business that has worked hard to ensure that we are well managed, well run and operate as a caring, responsible employer. And we’re just as proud of this. Читать дальше...

Agreed about the agent but I've yet to see anything good come from a player or club commenting on rumours. Look at Watson and Salford saying he's not going to Hull - now everyone is talking about whether he'll go to us, Saints or Wire.

We used to have a 14-team league but it was scrapped in favour of a 12-team one. I'm not sure what has changed since then to justify going back to 14. In 2-3 years time everyone will probably want to go back to 12 again. RL fans seem to suffer from chronic 'grass is greener' syndrome.

Supposed to be released today isn't it?

Another tight game ?

I am wondering how rusty we are likely to be in the first half. I am sure Price will field a full strength team apart of course from the wing.

My guess is that Thewliss will play as he provides specialist cover at FB if needed.

Just when they get ahead in the polls and with a shambolic Tory government "running" the country.
Labour look like having a civil war - great job

I’ve watched the game again and I can only spot two avoidable errors that may have turned the game. This alone must be some kind of record.

One was Battye’s strip that could have allowed Leeds a try at a vital moment. A real brain explosion.

Two, Reece Lynes desicion to take on five Leeds defenders on the fifth. There is confidence then there is lunacy. A kick and perhaps a goal line drop out was the obvious thing to do.

Sounds picky and it is because if they are the only unenforced... Читать дальше...

As a long time fan hand on heart I can say that in all my time not much has changed at Wakefield.

No new stadium.

Still skint.

Above all no silverware.

One thing though has and it may eventually help solve the others.

It started with Tom, then came Jowitt and Crowther, then Batchelor and most recently Croft and Kershaw.

It’s early days for the last two but the others are all now coming into their pomp. When was the last time Trinity created and more importantly... Читать дальше...

May I ask why anyone should be respectful to a poster who is advocating an ideology rooted in dangerous conspiracy theories? A poster who shows zero respect to those who have lost and will lose their lives during this pandemic?

Respect is earned and copying and pasting unsubstantiated nonsense you’ve read on social media doesn’t deserve respect.

Not sure why you think I have been reduced to a particular level or that I am as guilty as anyone. I’m genuinely confused by that.

No of course I wouldn’t stand by and accept someone getting abuse based on their race or sexuality. I agree some of the stuff said to Rogues on there is out of order and I’m not going to claim complete innocence in that. But to say I’m as guilty as the rest or that I have been reduced to a particular level is wrong. Читать дальше...
