  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Much like the team and sport itself
  4. He certainly doesn’t appear as effective outside of his Panthers unit
  5. He probably should've been penalised (yellow card) but Mitchell is the biggest grub going so what goes around comes around
  6. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke
  7. 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?
  8. 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
  9. Given he’s clinging to his job at Sheffield by his fingernails, I somewhat doubt it
  10. Hodgson deserves it but Niu, Trout and Hanley were also exceptional. Trout massively outshone other English props of Havard and Thompson
  11. Compare this game to the dross that was served up last night. Night and day in terms of speed and intensity
  12. Kalyn Ponga likely ruled out for the rest of the season with a lisfranc (metatarsal) injury
  13. Dodd is on the bench for the Bunnies this weekend but will certainly be off next year as Souths have just signed Jonah Glover to play in the halves
  14. The gong crowd pleasantly surprised me too, particularly as it came against the cellar dwellers.
  15. Unbelievable player, been a breakout season but i'd already put him in the top 5 wingers in the game
  16. My point is specifically related to hookers and there’s only really one real quality one in the world right now, and even Harry Grant has some inconsistent games. We’ve gone from a time when we had 4 genuine world class English hookers (Roby, Clark, Hodgson and Houghton) to none. Australia/NZ aren’t faring much better, stocks are very low by historical standards
  17. About time we had some quality rakes coming through. We’ve gone from a time when there were loads of excellent hookers both here and NRL to a time when there are hardly any in either comp
  18. It’ll be a nice dress rehearsal for SL next season
  19. Farrimond has a lot of attacking capability but his defence is woeful. He’s a liability
  20. Tate looked like he was running in treacle to the corner there. Grounding looked dubious
