Wandering pete

Currently earning rave reviews at Salford...Jackson is the son of a famous father(Kevin) who once had a season in Barrow colours . Barrow fans (of a certain vintage) will remember a classy halfback/ hooker who has the honour of a stand named after him at the Sydney Football ground ..home of the Roosters.

Easy choice...tape the Footie and watch the real action live.Toulouse probably play the best rugby in the Championship and there aren't too many Super Dooper teams who play with such flair..not just big thugs like Toronto/Leigh/Fev.Was lucky enough to see them at Rochdale yesterday and if there is a better passer of the ball than Jonathan Ford I've not seen him yet.

If you look at all the players who have turned out for the Raiders this season(29) and then check the current position.. left (1),amateur(1),suspended(1),work (2),visa(1),loan ineligible(1) that leaves 22 of who 9 were injured prior to Fev Game..so assuming no further injuries (big assumption given walking wounded at the end of the game)...then we have 13 available for the Toronto trip.Perhaps some of the injuries may clear up although there must be at least 5 long term..it's clearly going to be a tough ask and surely not in the interest of player welfare...

Now that Shaun Wane is leaving the Pies at the end of the season...what impact does this have on Joe's potential move..??

All might not be lost...Joe is settled in the area and with his full time job and regular team place is probably in a good place.He's still young enough to stay for a while yet before the inevitable move comes...so make the most of watching one of the best young props in the game...can't think of another player (in any league) who could score a try like Joe's yesterday....Try of any season. Apparently there is another club interested in one of our Aussies

..oh yes you do...

Bet it was...useful to know about the app...much cheaper than train/bus.Great weekend ..managed 3 RL games and even the TFC v Dijon game on Saturday night.Sunday's games at Strade Struxiano ...the best match of the weekend saw TO u-19's beat St Esteve 33-22 whilst the Catalan reserves were too strong for TO reserves...not surprising with Albert,Da Costa,Duport,Maria,Margalet etc trying to impress the watching Steve McNamara...62-8.

Hope you guys get home safe...train strike looks to start 20.00 saturday until 08.00 tuesday..staying in toulouse for Broncos double header at Struxiano on sunday(um)

Cloudy on Saturday..Rain on sunday.Prends ton parapluie...as they say.Was hoping to take in St.Gauden v Albi on Sunday but the Sncf strike has scuppered that.Toulouse Broncos are playing St Esteve so that will do instead.There's also Toulouse Fc at home on Saturday (20.00 ko)for any footie fans.

6ft2...16stone...winger/centre..previous super duper league experience at Warrington and Huddersfield.Could be a crowd favourite if he settles and benefits from Cresta's coaching skills

Seemed to be a spear tackle...didn't look good .The sending off changed the game and energised Hornets in the second half...a couple of soft tries and gaps opened up too easily...to be expected with a man down.Some adversity coming the Raiders way after a good start to the season with Dallimores controversial ban ..probably another for Stack and further injury problems.

Any updates on this story....given that Good Friday fixture is only 3 weeks away and England v NZ in Denver is scheduled for the same weekend in June as the proposed New York fixture it would seem unlikely.Shame ...as a day out in The Big Apple after taking in the Toronto v Barrow game would have made quite a weekend...!!

who has the decision to make...if it's the match ref do we have to wait for Gareth to negotiate the coast road....floods n black ice permitting..?

Sunday's merry whistleblower....it's Gareth...

From a different era of Rugby League...a true legend...🏉🐖😪
