maybe...maybe not. Its not an argument, its just a view...apparently.

If the NRL were to "take over" SuperLeague, some UK media outlets and sports correspondents are in for a shock finding out how strong the sport is in Australia etc. Such an eventuality can really have a positive effect in recruiting new followers, supporters, fans

Osteoarthritis in the elderly is a big limiting factor. Only those with the condition can really understand how painful it can be. Its not just the pain during exercise, but the enduring pain for days post- exercise.

Regular walking trumps that, though. My late mother in law when aged 90 took it up. Five miles a day. By the end of the first week, she was already 35 miles away.

One volunteering consideration: priorities. Allocate the highest priority to YOURSELF. Make sure your commitment doesn't prevent you from taking other opportunities, such as holidays, going to games etc. Don't be a slave to it.

Normally I'd say " you're new here, aren't you?"

Understood. Apologies for the omission . I'd forgotten about him.

Its almost as if under Danson ownership and Radlinski management it has matured into a properly and professionally run organisation after thankfully being saved by Dave Whelan.

My retirement was gradual. I reduced the amount I was doing , gradually, and over a period of five years until I gave up aged 72. ( Or was it 74....?) Before and after, I've never been short of things to do, only short of the physical health necessary. I'm still learning stuff, also I'm in three U3A groups, exploring becoming a STEM Ambassador, just got a carbon fibre ultra lightweight power wheelchair so I can get around the great cities of Europe and spending the childrens inheritance.

Rugby League in the UK has always been "The People's Game"....and look where that's got us.

I did, i did! You should have been there. I was surrounded by leggy and pneumatic blondes sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with wonder in their eyes and desire in their hearts as they listened spellbound to my explanation of 4d dynamic non-Euclidian geometry.

"The refs are wary of giving "too many" infringements so there are lots of similar incidents that are let go when a team is consistently infringing, and then the other team has to be penalised a few times to "balance" things out" Whats the source of that assertion?
