Derwent

From what I have been told they are effectively trying to get the RFL to guarantee that they will all be paid their contracts until the end of the contractual year. It used to be that contract years ran from 1st December to 30th November so I assume that is still the case, and the players are wary that they are only going to get paid until end of August. That is, get their August wages, complete the last 2 league games scheduled for September then be told that the club has gone pop. They are seeking guarantees that they will get those 3 months wages for Sep,Oct & Nov from somewhere.

Interesting comments on social media by a Salford councillor about the big screen at the stadium. He says it is ready to be reinstalled but “RL Commercial have refused to pay for it to be done”. Somebody asked what it has to do with them and the councillor has replied saying that it is RLCom who lease the screen from the supplier, not the club.

NWC aren’t particularly great to watch but they demonstrate the value of big forwards at this level. They have a monster pack that just steamrollers the opposition and 2 decent halves who play off that. Whatever league we are in next year we need to recruit some physical presence from somewhere as we are really lacking in size.

And there’s the 50 up. Disgraceful. Conceded 30 points in 20 minutes, from 20-16 to 50-16.

Going to end up 50+ this, heads have dropped.

Somebody is actually live streaming the game on YouTube !

Cru over again, it’s now 20-10 after 26 mins

Town pulled level at 10-10 but Cru have just scored again to make it 14-10 after 22 mins.

Cru went 10-0 up after 8 mins but Town have hit back with tries from Ainley and Corkhill. It’s 10-10 after 20 mins.

One player who hasn't been mentioned is Carl Sice - he was Town's best player by a country mile for a couple of years. More recently, I think the player who fits the criteria in the last few seasons was Penky, he was a massive influence on that team.

Latvia, Estonia and Azerbaijan are all fantastic places with great history and very welcoming locals.

Bruce Dickinson has said many times he will not do Glastonbury, as it’s for the middle class and is the “most bourgeois thing on the planet”. He doesn’t want to play in front of “Gwyneth Paltrow and perfume infested yurts”….. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/glastonbury-iron-maiden-bruce-dickinson-b2778153.html They are still a superb live band and are absolutely killing it on their current tour.

The 1975, for people who find Coldplay a bit too cool and edgy.

Who knows ? I mean, Rhodri Jones is described as RL Commercial Managing Director in press articles but he isn’t actually an appointed director according to Companies House….
