The community group, who were interested in bidding for the Shay, have now formally withdrawn their interest, which leaves a clear path for Mr Davy to take over

Angry? No. However, it is frustrating to see a player being held back by someone who will never make it as a regular first team player for the Rhinos. He tries hard but is not talented, skilful or athletic enough to compensate for his inadequacies

No I haven’t forgotten. I know a limited player when I see one. Edgell and Lumb are the same age btw Lumb makes more than double the number of tackle breaks and clean breaks per game, double the run metres despite being very slight and 10 tries to Edgell’s 0. Given there was only one try in the game on Friday, it is an ignorant claim that he wouldn’t have made any difference.

Bronson Xerri was meant to be touring with the Australian schoolboys but disappointingly pulled out late on because he was promoted to be part of Cronullas first team squad

Protect them from what? Lumb is still playing in the reserves. It’s nonsensical

I have no idea what Riley Lumb has done to deserve being dropped in favour of Edgell who is just a bang average player. Lumb is a game breaker who could’ve made the difference last night. Baffling decision in recent weeks

I've not bought my tickets for Wembley yet, just Everton and Headingley. There's less interest amongst my group of friends for Wembley, looking like only 2-3 of us will go, but I'm trying to push it as an event and do hospitality for a change. I don't expect we'll finalise tickets/numbers till September or maybe even October

Much like the team and sport itself

He certainly doesn’t appear as effective outside of his Panthers unit

He probably should've been penalised (yellow card) but Mitchell is the biggest grub going so what goes around comes around

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke

No chance

I am not going to comment on the core numbers but the % variance is not reflective of what is seen on the ground so will take it with a pinch of salt. Did they use the same methodology the ONS do?

Yeah he’s been very good for Leeds and will certainly be a loss, no matter how you dress it up. There’s no one in the academy who can replace him. Butterfield is most promising prop but he’s a million miles away from the level Lisone is at. Cassell will come in for Gannon next year but we will need to look overseas for a replacement for Lisone and with the quotas going to 10, everyone is going to be scrapping for talent. Perhaps someone like Bunty Afoa might be an option, given he’s fallen out of favour a bit with the Warriors

Given he’s clinging to his job at Sheffield by his fingernails, I somewhat doubt it
