  1. I would agree that he would be a consideration. He was a curious signing by Souths. Almost like they just wanted a big name. He’s a pretty ordinary centre. He’s much better as a stand off or full back
  2. DCE definitely polarises opinion. I’ve often thought he was overrated but sometimes he will single handedly dismantle a team. I feel he struggles when all the onus is on him. He struggled when Foran left and Turbo was injured but he’s seemingly got a new lease of life and I think the partnership with Brooks will suit him.
  3. That was a really painful experience watch. Awful tv quality, terrible presentation, commentary was painful - Sharon is a radio commentator and seems unable to adapt her style to tv. So depressing and sad to see what’s become of the once prestigious competition
  4. I see Selwyn Cobbo has successfully taken the mantle from Nick Cotric
  5. The RFL literally issued a statement in response to the allegations: The RFL said in a statement to i: “The RFL has attempted to engage constructively with Mr Dussault since he first contacted us in June 2023. We initially advised him of the operational rules and to seek resolution with the club. Several months later, he contacted us again, about matters relating to a separate matter for players he represented and we directed him to the RLPA. “When the matters remained unresolved, we again outlined the options open to him under our operational rules. These options included issuing private proceedings, or a claim under our operational rules – to our knowledge, he has done neither. Our last correspondence was with the club, who explained that they were proposing a plan and would deal with him directly. “The ball is therefore in his court. As policy, we do not comment on matters of financial detail – but we trust Mr Dussault will confirm this correct version of events.” The best bit about the article for me was that it came under the i's rugby union section
  6. And the common denominator in all this is…………..a certain Mr Vickers
  7. Great crowd for Donny, some really positive developments happening at both South Yorkshire clubs
  8. Pensioners should pay extra IMO. What else are they going to spend their money on other than bingo, werthers original and the odd cardigan
  9. I’m surprised by this, I’d have thought he’d get some game time for Leeds this season
  10. He's performed better than Olpherts, and is likely on less money. He's also young and has greater potential to improve. The jury is out on him but he's a better fill in than Olpherts. We're well stacked with young centres coming through, which I expect will take over from Momorovski and Newman in a couple of years. Unfortunately, wing is not a position of strength for Leeds. We do have Jason Qareqare's younger brother Marcus in our academy.........I've not seen him play though
  11. Yeah a good move for all parties. The Rhinos fans can be pretty unforgiving and whilst Olpherts never performed to the expected standard, the fans never took to him anyway. It was a slightly odd signing, which was never well received. There was method in the madness - an experienced winger, who makes good metres out of backfield, to replace Briscoe, but on significantly less money. However, it really just highlighted how weak our youth ranks were for wingers, which exasperated the situation, as fans would much rather have seen a young gun get a chance. Unfortunately our youth development has not been great in recent years which is a bigger frustration
  12. Don’t they also have a policy whereby you have to play in NZ to qualify to play for the All blacks?
  13. Not true. 2019: 18,230 2022: 15,831 2023: 18,264 So they bounced back well last year but on a par with pre covid
