Reporting in OZ that Lewis Dodd will sign for South Sydney for 2025.

You mean to tell me the Holmesy was wrong about him giving back word?! Well I'd of never of thought that

I am just really pleased to see how well ANZAC Day is being observed in this country. It is truly a date in the calendar that should be embraced. The NRL are doing a great job of acknowledging the sacrifices of past and present men and women of our armed forces.

I was nervous about tonight, especially after the HKR defeat last week because I know they’ve got a great attitude and they won’t have two off nights on the spin in regards to desire, effort, workrate etc. Add in how much we seem to melt at Craven Park in recent times and I can’t say I was overly shocked with how it went. On the plus side, it feels like a great wake up call for us before the cup semi. We won’t be as off the mark as we were tonight and the players will know they have a massive challenge on.

I think McNamara does exactly what is needed currently when Lam and moreso Moylan are playing well and creating things. He put in several key tackles and spread the ball quickly and accurately to Moylan and Lam. His inside ball created the space for Dwyer to put O'Donnell over for his second and made a try saving tackle that led to the amone break.

Makes his first appearance in December 2018 and then boom, 15 posts later he comes out with this piece. There’s a lot of truth to what you say.

Even I couldn't get that one wrong.

I haven’t put my finger on how it could be done fairly but I like the idea of the Challenge Cup incorporating inter county rivalry. I think the old Lanc’s and York’s identities still have meaning and there are certain tools which can be used to give the old rivalry a bit of oomph again. Maybe at an amateur level, the early rounds are played between clubs within their own counties before being whittled down to say four or eight clubs who contest their own Magic style KO round over a weekend of Yorkshire v Lancashire match ups. And continue/or introduce the Lanc’s and York’s rivalry through to the introduction of the professional clubs, making a big deal of any Lanc’s v York’s draw. Perhaps only Lanc’s v York’s ties are televised on BBC. Audaciously, you could actually divide the competition purely on a Lanc’s to the west v York’s to the east and have the final contested by Yorkshire and Lancashire champions. If that means excluding some clubs like Catalans and London, or giving definition of why they fit in either east or west camp, then so be it. I don’t think contesting the CC final a week before the SL final is the answer. I just don’t see why you would have two major events back to back. I think it would dilute and devalue each event too much.

No, it isn’t.

If ain’t broke and all that, Harry. Didn’t see McNamara being a big player but he played the supporting role superbly.

Is this a first? I'm not aware of any other sponsorships of shed celebrations. Couldn't understand a word. No unladylike language, I hope.

It didn't at Leigh in '22 attendances were down, the games were mostly foregone conclusions it was a case of "how many will they score this week", it did get boring and even as a season ticket holder I didn't bother going to some games.

I'm far too weak and lacking in moral fibre. Poor Rocket had salt rubbed in his ANZAC Day wounds. A heartfelt apology is due. We'll wait while the perpetrator summons up courage and strength.

The car to which I alluded a few weeks past is back in the building....or the car park!! I take us by 10.

You ought to be. NRL and AFL are in tremendous shape. Good time to be a fan of both. A number of posters on L.U. saying they went to MCG and AAMI.

For what reason Morris?

The Australian government is funding Pacific Champs and that was the reason Troy Grant gave why England couldn't guest in it, so that explains why Lebanon have been excluded. Fully understand they are 2/3's a semi-pro team but they are also ranked 9th in the world and are the highest other team available, so if you need a third game they are next cab off the rank.

I wouldn’t ! VAR agreed

There's some unpleasantly on this forum and I'm not sure what it achieves but there we go. The RL family?

It can take a lot of courage and strength and is definitely not always a mistake.

Cos this is RL. ###### happens.

I don’t lol whilst feeling exasperated. But I wasn’t lol’ing in the first place.

As a Wakey fan, I’m not gonna slag off Cas, London or Wakey. Not sure where the game is heading & that’s from supporting a club with new facilities & more on the way. I’ve supported my team (Trinity) since 83 & never been so bored & ready to call it quits!

It's a great outcome. Nice to see the new USA Women's Championship will also benefit from the new structure. Originally it was only going to have 6 teams (3 California / 3 Florida), now NY State Queens & teams from Utah are able to take part in a structure similar to the Men's. Not that the Utah RLA was being held back by the PCRL, but it's nice seeing them being promoted and on equal footing with the other 3 leagues. Means PCRL can focus on California & helping Oregon now, whilst Utah has been putting feelers into Arizona.
