  1. Absolutely agree, although I think the lads club meeting in Batley was just championship clubs and happened post-coup. Again though, Nigel Wood has experience running two different clubs as CEO, playing at professional and amateur level, an MBA, extensive experience and contacts. Maybe he is the best short term option, provided there is a good succession plan put in place?
  2. This is the thing for me. I think there's been a leadership vacuum since he left. I don't think Ralph Rimmer was the right person for the job and the people who came after him were invisible. If there was any kind of long term plan, it was not apparent. Measured against that low bar, I expect Nigel Wood to be an improvement.
  3. I don't think there was any new information in there. IMO, he's rather more convincing than the previous RFL Chair, all the same.
  4. About 30 seconds after the hour mark he says "I'm not the chief executive. I'm just I'm the chairman and it's a different role and it's not necessarily the public face of the sport. That's for other people to do."
  5. I don't think there's too much to disagree with in the article. It was "clickbait back bedroom scribes" that he was criticising. It'll be interesting to hear what he has to say on the League Express podcast tomorrow. Presumably he'll be speaking as the RFL Chair at that point.
  6. In that England team only Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett have a better test average than Jadeja - he's a decent test batter. It could be argued that Jadeja didn't take the right approach though. It was win or nothing, they were never going to get a draw. Tootling along at one run per over for three hours meant that the Indian tail would've ended up facing Archer with the new ball as they approached the target to win the match.
  7. It's been another brilliant test match, whatever the final outcome.
  8. Widnes have Batley, Hunslet & London as the last three home games of the year. Assuming we're able to have at least one half-back on the team sheet by then, I'd fancy two wins from those three and that should be enough.
  9. They missed the conversion for the first try, but not the second. The touch judges were stood well to the side of the posts, out of camera shot, for both kicks, so not easy to spot
  10. They could have had a couple of red cards in the first 10 minutes at Widnes. Spent the first half trying to bully Widnes into submission before seemingly changing tactics at half time.
  11. True of any current player, no? The Kangaroos barely play. He is 27 and has played 5 times for his country. Never played against England, one game against NZ. He's never played a home game for Australia.
  12. London v Doncaster is live (if you pay) on 247.tv
  13. If we're going down that road, (Emosi) Koloto has a mountain in Ethiopia named after him...
  14. The breakdown of their 13.97 score is here: https://www.salfordreddevils.com/salford-red-devils-publish-img-grading-breakdown/ Their performance score was 3.5429, based on 4th, 7th and 4th place finishes. Going from 4th down to 12th this year would cost them 0.3333 IMG points.
  15. I guess you could say he's played in 3 series that NSW have won? He's potentially got 7-8 more series to come.
