Watched till half time when Leigh had it all sewn up, so switched over to watch Haaland's demolition of Wolves. Looks like I missed a decent second half. Although I don't mind the Golden Point, equally I don't see the need in league games. Nothing wrong with a draw - or in the cup, replay.

That story mirrors the situation at Swinton -where I grew up - (and probably other clubs/towns, too) in the late 1950s and 1960s. The diaspora resulting from new housing developments such as Little Hulton , rail closures, mill closures took a good number of people out of "walk-up" reach of Station Road. That's why Im sure that if Hull KR were to grounshare with Hull FC, tribalism apart,many fans would not appreciate the move

Oi! Leave Saints alone. They're fine as they are.

We were season ticket holders during the dying days of Central Park. A good few of the people in adjacent seats said they would not renew their seats when the club moved to the JJB. The reason? They walked from their house to CP in ten mins but would have to drive/bus/ long walk to the JJB. There were / are lots of houses and flats close to CP and I think the move resulted in losing older less mobile fans who lived close to CP. In the case of the Hull clubs, I suspect the result would be the same.

Setting the Cas amongst the pigeons!

A disciple writes, "Yes!"

I'm out of breath just watching! Both sides attacking brilliantly, directly from the PTB.

Read my book The Twelve Habits of Successful Rugby Teams.

Oi! You! Who you calling middle-aged? I . . if you mean me, then thanks for the compliment.

That's exactly the response they are after, so the retaliator is penalised or binned or thrown out. It's up to the coaches to manage it out of the game.

Enjoyed that , but frustrated at some of Salfords poor discipline. Two yellows? Their league position is pleasing, though. I trust they can keep it up.

But....but.....did it?

Once again setting a good example for others to follow.

It's not quantum thermodynamics. They should have looked at what Saints, Wigan, Catalans etc have been doing for quite a few years and copied them.

"I see sport as been decided on the pitch" Exactly. That is why the grading structure is so important, as it lays down the criteria that must be met in order to ensure a winning team. The criteria are indeed "success factors". The ten habits of successful clubs" as it were.
