For anybody whose goal is to buy a nice Xmas present for under £10,then my latest novel is worth a try.
"Three Good Years" has a background of Work, Family Life, Saving the NHS and Rugby League. during the 2006, 7 and 8 seasons.
It is the sixth in a series about working class life in South Lancashire and is inspired by the old saying about work that "They could write a book about this place. .It would be a best seller".

Ask every sportsman in the country and they'll tell you they play to win. Most people in their professional life want to succeed at any task. If you're there making up numbers you're likely in the wrong profession. Doesn't mean they want "war" or even get "Mr Angry" every time they fail, but I'll bet they will be disappointed and yes, sometimes they will show anger.

An "it's only sport" mentality is likely to be offensive to anyone who has sacrificed certain aspects... Читать дальше...

Whilst I’ve probably been Greenwood’s biggest critic I’d like to keep him for another year until Pearce Paul has time to mature.

If we do let him go I think we would need to look to replace him.

He didn't have to bend over. That's what it looks like on the still but he was holding him and falling forward.

LH ran in on him with an elbow off the ball and gave him some lip because he dropped the ball with an open line. It was a grubby thing to do.
Flower punched him in retaliation. Yes he should have left it at that but in a punch up in the middle of a crowd you don't have time to think like that. In any other situation he would have expected one coming back. Читать дальше...

I'm not sure that Catalan (or Toulouse) are semi pro ??
As for less money in the sport over there, I'll take your word for it but, the same could probably be said for RL in the UK too.
It certainly looks like there will be less cash swilling around after the next TV deal.
Your comment about French players being more likely to go to Union is crazy.
If there were no professional RL players in France, any player wanting to make a living in "rugby" would have... Читать дальше...

How was he the best winger at the club by a clear margin even out of form when he was dropped for six games this year once Manfredi was fit? I'm guessing one party or the other made the decision during that 6 month period when Marshall was arguably the form winger in the league and Manfredi appeared to be over his injuries.

If there are scrums in the World Cup next year, will we be at a disadvantage not having had scrums in the domestic game for over 12 months?
Keep the six again rule, but re-introduce scrums as soon as deemed safe to do so.

It may be nostalgia but personally I loved the kit above. I don't mind the colours, it's the vertical stripes I dislike on a rugby kit.

Only thing that annoyed me about that red and green kit was we wore it at places like Saints, making a non-clash (white and red vs primrose and blue) into an unnecessary colour clash.

They played in the 62-0 beating of Wales under 19s Rowley looked particularly good in that a real big solid unit and Burton I think was in the largely academy side that beat Featherstone

I’m sure I read somewhere,
our new coach identified, a new half, an outside back, and a middle player.

Can’t find the article now, hey ho time will tell, Griff can play back row as well, but he’s playing well at centre so keep him there.

Masi has to improve his standard, Jack Brown is nowhere near the standard of Remy Casty, and unfortunately Brad Fash never will be.

I’d forgotten about Anthony Walker. He was unlucky at Wakefield he was with us when Fifita, England, Huby and a few others were ripping it up and never really got a look in. What I saw of him I liked.

As for Brough you’re on a winner there. Brough is a rarity, he loves money for sure but he loves playing even more. Whatever Brough standard now is I guarantee he will play at 100% of that standard. There is also no doubt he’s the smartest halfback in the British game... Читать дальше...
