Struggle to imagine a more poorly written “club” statement -

He didn’t have to threaten to withdraw the team. -
I believe they don’t think headgear makes any difference Bod. Basically your brain rattles about in your head irrespective of what you’re wearing. And it encourages more risky play by wearers.

You missed out “Have it on a Tuesday in a 10k capacity stadium”

It isn't easy to determine whether borderline passes are forward or not. But, on the whole, I think benefit of the doubt should go with the attacking side because (i) we know it's hard to be sure (ii) we know that "momentum" can create the illusion of a forward pass (iii) players are hard-wired to be behind the ball carrier, and the ball carrier to pass backwards (or flat), so true forward passes are rare (iv) often forward passes are marginally forward and don't confer any benefit on the attacking side. So, unless you're absolutely sure, don't rule it forward. *And don't for the love of God use the lines on the pitch as your sole marker

Sam Burgess signs a contract extension, 2026
Tonka replied to Barry Badrinath's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
A strong Warrington team is a good thing, objectively. And he's a big name to be associated with the sport. Hope he's successful* *Just a bit less so than Wigan -

I've always been curious: does the sports personality award mean you have to have "more personality" or is it just about sporting achievement (the fact they are a "personality" just being slightly unfortunate nomenclature for the fact they are famous because through sport)? Because if you have to be good at sport and have a big personality, it's a totally mad award if you think about it...

Yeah I find AJ wooden and he doesn’t jab anywhere near enough. It’s very subjective though, I could just see Joshua advancing on Wilder and Fury and not being stopped. But it might not work out that way. Am pleased I backed Fury to win last night.

I like Fury and at first felt he was robbed but having slept on it the two knock downs did even up the fight in the non-purist sense. Wilder has serious limitations; I have no idea how Fury got up from those shots. Joshua wouldn’t be too scared by what he saw last night I don’t think.
