Good Friday RL triple header
Liverpool Rover replied to Gerrumonside ref's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I won't be watching any live as I will be at work so I will be watching the Hull derby when I get back home. -
The only club I could find that offered any kind of official club trip to Perpignan was Leeds. It's baffling to me that no other club seems to offer fan or corporate club trips to try and bring in some money to reduce the costs of teams travelling over, but then realised that it probably requires too much forward thinking for English Rugby League clubs.

SL USA/NRL America (Merged Threads)

If the NRL buys the RFL wouldn't they be taking on the legal action claims as well? -
Penrith should have been out of sight with how difficult Wigan were finding it to contain them and the amount of times they were in Wigans 20 while Wigan could only get into Penriths half on the back of penalties, although to their credit they took their chances. I can only guess that the in goal areas were probably shallower than what they would be used to in Australia which is why they decided not to use grubber kicks when they might have done. Wigan still had to defend what Penrith were throwing at them so credit to them. Penrith can feel hard done to though by the Wardle try and the ball steal penalty though.

Another win off the back of a great defensive display and there is still plenty of improvement in attack, get that right and along with the defence we will take some beating. Whitbread is proving to be a good signing though we are missing Abdull IMO, not just for his goal kicking but he was the one who led the team around the field and I still think Evalds should be the full back with his pace from deep. Under the new guidelines the Donaldson high tackle should have been a red.

That is what should have happened. What's the point of bringing in IMG at the expense that is coming with it if at the end of the day the clubs are going to have the final say and ignore IMGS recommendations? I came across a thread on twitter about RL in the 70s and 80s when the game was in decline and the RFL brought in a consultancy firm to advise on how to turn the game around and ended up not following through on the recommendations. Moving finals and GB games to larger football stadiums was met with opposition because "traditional" RL grounds were being overlooked. It looked a bit similar to now to me.

Only the RFL could go from the Millenium Stadium and St James Park to Elland Road. Is this the RL equivalent of a TV network moving a show to a late night slot so it can scrap it because of a lack of viewing figures.

When it came out that there was still to be some P&R aspect to it I had the feeling that it was at the clubs insistence rather than IMGs idea. The grading system was supposed to be a chance of trying something new as change is definitely needed, but sticking with P&R when it is meant to be a system that encourages clubs to try and improve off the field without having to fear relegation has the potential of turning the system into a mess.

I'm near the end of the second series. You do have to stick with it for the first few episodes but it does get really good.
