Kirklees Giants will be announced within a few years to get around some kind of IMG grading no doubt.

Biggest announcement in Huddersfield Giants' history?

Huddersfield, Hull and Cas are not awful this year because of the players at their disposal; they're awful this year because of terrible management at the clubs. Throw in the issues at St Helens and Catalans, and I think 2026 has been the worst in terms of clubs self destructing in history.

If don't mind it at all. Include the French too. However, they'd have to take away the Magic Weekend games to stop it skewing the number of fixtures if they play a Magic cross-country game. I like it. But then again, I want them to bring back Roses too so my opinion means little.

No, it's just the way my trousers fit.

The one time I forget to wear my lucky Hull FC pants... Guess they weren't that lucky!

My concern exactly.

Hull have apparently accepted a bid for Davy Litten from Wakefield for a significant fee, according to Matt Shaw. That's not a good sign for Hull.

Basically along the lines of "they should sort out the state of the league first before expanding", "game's getting unwatchable", "blowouts", "we haven't got enough players", "look after the failing clubs first", "game's a joke", etc. Sounds very familiar!

The comments on that tweet are depressing.

52 seconds a point would be 5 minutes 12 seconds per converted try. We've seen teams getting 140 put on them over here in the lower leagues.

The difference their being the vast majority of Premier League money doesn't come from attendance revenue. York are only in their first year in the SL. There's a lot of connections to make yet and a lot of people won't be aware if them just yet. I've no doubt they'll kick on with a few years behind them if given the chance and the funding.

Do kids even know what broadcast TV is these days? Everything is streamed from on app. Many houses don't have a TV aerial anymore.

The hooter sounds at bang on the time I believe. It didn't used to, they used to wait until play had finished (including kicks).

Came to say exactly the same. This is exactly what I said would happen. Players would hang around the ruck pretending to be getting out the way. The refs don't know what to do about this it seems. It's a penalty for the ruck infringement. Simple as that.
