Great effort.

Seven marathons in seven days, raising money for Rob Burrow and MND.

He set out to raise £77,777 and the Leeds site is saying that he had now raised over £1.7m.

Nice feature on the BBC National news tonight of Kev completing his run and also showed him with Rob.

Tommy Leuluai is without doubt the best defensive halfback I have ever seen and probably hooker. Yes the likes of Roby, Houghton and Sam Powell might make more tackles, but none of them hit as hard as Tommy on a regular basis and it doesn't matter who or how big that opponent is.

Who was it when asked what did you learn from that game? He replied, "Don't run at Tommy Leuluai's right shoulder" It may have been Jon Wilkin?

Good. The pleasure you’d take in placing a young British coach with a young family on the dole is perverse.

And for what it’s worth I believe Max will get the number 1 shirt. It will make no difference whether he starts the season. Only a very good pre season will determine that.

Mulhern is close to joining, all dependant on Greenwood leaving though for cap space

If that where the case I’d say one the best full stop but as you he doesn’t and maybe time to cut losses and let him move on

Whelan told that story himself in a documentary IIRC. He may have just been joking but it wouldn’t surprise me at all. The old tales about him turning the heating/hot water off at Central Park when he first took over and getting people to count sheets on toilet rolls to ensure he wasn’t being ripped off may also have been myths but nothing would really surprise you.

Confirmed going around again in 2021.

Hopefully gets the fairytale ending that Lockers didn’t.

I’m pleased definitely adds options in several positions next year and still playing well.

After running 7 marathons in 7 days, Kevin Sinfield managed to raise £1,000,000 for Rob Burrow and MND. Absolutely astounding.

Reading some of the comments on here regarding team building I'm becoming a touch alarmed by how little some fans seem to grasp our current situation.

Let's ignore COVID as that's a universal issue, and I wouldn't presume to know how that has affected the club.

I'll concentrate on what I think has.

In 2015 we were a laughing stock. Then CC arrived and from 2016 to 2018 (3 seasons) we improved more dramatically and consistently than any time since we entered SL. Then bad luck... Читать дальше...

Morning all

Wigan's accounts filed - good to see operating losses down from £1.1m to £0.7m. £200k in from player sales meant reduced cash support of £568k needed to prop things up.

Numbers heading in the right direction - hopefully this continues and the Latics uncertainty doesn't layer in cost for the rugby club.

Just short of £860,000

What an amazing effort, fabulous (if not a little emotional for a Monday morning) segment on BBC Breakfast this morning. Dan Walker and Sally Nugent have been great over the last week, well over the last few months really

Let's have some nominations then. I've barely seen us kick a ball this season so don't really feel qualified to comment, so I'd be interested to see what others have to say.

Anyone nominating Folau has to put a fiver in the charity pot.

I think since they got rid of contested scrums , scrums have been rather pointless. However, to rid the game of scrums entirely would affect the game in a radical manner, and not just the role of 'the packs' . The whole structure of a team, and the game, would also be changed if that were to happen . Personally, I would like to go back to contested scrums, but I don't think the governing bodies would consider that. 'Elf&Safety' would also do their nuts.

I agree.
I find that the Giants have a good recruitment policy compared to many clubs.
Giants have changed coaches and have money so if he came on the recommendation of the last coach you can understand the move.
Plenty of clubs in NRL thought he was worth getting in their team.

If Chester likes him then I'm happy.

The obvious reason is because of all the players leaving from our large squad due to no reserve league being played next season plus the elevation of some payers from the Under 18 squad being promoted to the first team squad.

Local penrith journalist Nathan Taylor says it’s highly likely he will be in super league next season. He’s the equivalent of Pete Smith in Penrith.

Players such as Tommy Harris who was born a stones throw away from Cardiff in the village of Crumlin will never see the recognition they deserve. Great for these players and well deserved but it's the luck of where you are born and who you play for as to how much recognition you get.

I agree that's what will happen. Mr. B did say if Leigh wasn't the chosen club,then he thinks it should be Toulouse. Would he go mad if it was the Bulls? probably not,just disappointed that it wasn't Leigh.
