That kid must have had one hell of a paper round.

Adolf Littler?

Hopefully he will spend it on beer and not waste it

Any IMG points up for grabs if they both make the final!

He is a former Great Britain Rugby League captain, Great Britain team manager for 5 years and has a sports science degree. I can understand if people don't like his style of punditry but I can't see how he could be described as lacking knowledge of the sport.

If he was Bill would call him mum.

Wont be his year

IMG/RFL: "are these attendance figures genuine?" Club: "yes" IMG/RFL: "great, thanks"

Hello there gang, I won his playing shirt from Wembley, unfortunately it's a wee bit tight on me rather than let it go to rack and ruin and never be seen again I have given it back to Dale to help raise funds for him and also a team signed rugby ball I won on coach number 1 on the Wembley trip, I dare say in time we will hear more about his funding during the year..

I'm with the crowd on McDermott and O'Connor, they need to go. They embarrass us all. What I find odd is that only ragingbull has mentioned Jones Buchanan. He can't even speak, never mind speak nonsense. I have to leave the room when he comes on, it's like he's got someone else's teeth in. I've no idea how he got the gig in the first place, but he can't possibly continue if the sport is having a bit of a clear out. One obvious prerequisite is speak clearly, isn't it?

A one darter! Was he throwing a hedgehog?

Top marks to Haven and Oldham so far. Outstanding from both clubs.

I’ve lost track of what in fashion and what isn’t. I do know whatever the fashion is, it’s not as good as when I was young. Same with music.

It did its job in preventing any actually useful public transport being commissioned.

Our young un moved houses over a year a go and i still have some of his stuff in my spare bedroom.I don't know why as he moved from a two bed to a five.Yesterday tidying up for Christmas i found a DVD Retro Rovers Vintage Video The Paul Newlove tries 122 in 150 games for Rovers.10 caps while at Fev 8 for G.B.It is signed on the back cover by Paul.I will watch it sometime over Christmas.The legend John Hill describes him with the words Power Pace and Perpetual Motion.It will bring back some memories.

And on the other flank powerful ex-NRL winger Etu Uisale, having as always in those days "fought off significant SL interest", what could go wrong? Too soon to write off those 2014 signings anyway, I hear Liam Walmsley's almost ready to resume training.

Simplified, do you mean Guessing?

I second that amen. Not only did we do all that ourselves, we did it without a penny of Supergreed's Danegeld, while Trinity spaffed a quarter century's worth of sky money up the wall, with so little to show for it they eventually had to bounce the council and it's partners into re-building them a ground. No doubt the cost of this will eventually be passed on quietly to the unsuspecting council tax payers of Wakey and the Five Towns. They should be ashamed.

This Sporting Life now showing on Greek TV Cinema 1. One of the best RL films ever made. Trinity will get back there Best not ask how I'm watching it.........

Can you guys take the personal stuff to the DMs before you get this thread locked

and at the last minute - the "POST OF THE YEAR" goes to mr Gomersall- well done sir

True, there was nowt better than a centre parting with undercut, along with the baggiest jeans possible.

Jamel Chisholm played one game for Fev and scored 1 try. It was at home to Halifax on 23 Feb 2014 and Fev won 28-20.

he's not old enough to drink although he looks old enough for a sun life insurance policy! is now trendy for 16 year olds to have an Adolf Hitler haircut?

I like his sense of humour. Partly because a lot of it goes straight over the heads of the people who ask the questions.

Not sure if he ever played darts on the pub scene, but should think there a few pubs round Warrington double checking there are no photos about of him drinking pints on their premises.

You can't blame any town council for having ambitions.

Had the Orford/ Bewsey/Dallam rounds

Group stage followed by knock outs. Similar to the proposal for the Challenge Cup.

He had a full round during the week, Double round on a Sunday, the evening papers and the Warrington free paper on a Thursday I reckon,

Please explain that Thomas, will they or won't they be competing in a league system in that they earn points on a ladder that will determine whether they finish in such a position that will see clubs Promoted or Relegated? You know that I have no interest in the round ball ball game therefore I do not look for any information relevant to it, but in this case with your answer to @MattSantoscould you please clarify for me is Promotion and Relegation to from the Championship based on financial grading? I suspect not.

Yep. There was a segment on the opening night showing the Wire players supporting Luke and wishing him luck. Warrington social media was also wishing him luck too.

the benefits of living near a farm shop. Still a toss up between Tomkinson's and Stalag Luft for me, but they were all great, obviously. Gold from a golden age.

Good choice Ray. The testing of Eric Olthwaite is a personal favourite. I quite identify with Eric. I saw some really black black pudding last week.

2024, is looking good.

In today's P & C Manoa is shown as 19 years old, 15 stone and can do around 109 yards in 10 seconds.. Sounds very good with the right training. Come on Manoa. UTR

Immediately is probably because his contract is up, Not renewed for the 2024 season. It is time for a change, look at Channel 4 and the younger players they have had on.

In the taxi this morning going to work and the driver is playing 'Insane in the Brain' by Cyprus Hill. My God! I haven't heard that in years! Cue massive nostalgia trip!

But besides all that, what has the BBC ever done for us.

Bill Arthur does a good job? Are you his Dad?

The issue I have is that he's obviously not daft and there are obviously things he wants to explain - and even gimmicks he uses that would actually be useful. But he is let down by two things - related issues. He needs someone there who takes it as seriously as he does and someone to sort out the opinions that are helpful and those which are just numbers. Sky's coverage is entirely fixated on blokes bantering and so none of his ideas are ever really developed but then they are never allowed to me. Even the margin meter was a genuinely useful way of showing how the score was relative to what you might expect - and yet it just became a rapid joke because nobody on the Sky panel is allowed to pretend to have brains, they've all got to be seen to be mocking the brainiac.

Clarke is far better than some of the others, they've been named by others. I think he has looked unhappy with his role for a while and he seemed to get fewer appearances. I actually think Carney, Clarke and Wells were a decent trio.

I've always liked Phil Clarke, he picks up on game particulars that often elude the less educated on the panel/commentary team. He also doesn't over dominate discussion unlike some others, but makes pertinent points where required. I know he gets heavily criticised in some quarters, unfairly in my view. He has some wacky suggestions/predictions which no doubt Wilkin will take over the mantle for. Disappointed to see him go and not the likes of Barry, Terry and Bill Arthur who are the real dinosaurs

Actually last year WMDC 'gave' Wakefield £5.9m of the £12m they spent from the S106 fund...... https://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/politics/council/call-for-assurances-to-protect-ps6million-council-investment-in-wakefield-trinitys-belle-vue-stadium-revamp-4428604

Amen brother. The unflushable ###### of SL finally get kicked out, but hey ho, here's a new system that'll let them straight back in for, ..... wait for it, ....... building a stand. Fev built a stand in 1986, another in 1997, and two more in 2015. But we're all in the same boat in WMDC, toughing it out against a mean old council that never gives us anything......

Hmm. Another way of looking at that is that Wakefield clung on to survival for 22 years, then the year they finally got relegated, the ground gets upgraded, a millionaire owner arrives, and a new formula for SL entry appears which heavily favours those clubs that have spent at least one in SL in the last three years, meaning they probably won't even have to win the Grand Final to make it back in 2025. If I were a Wakefield fan, I'd be thinking we must have a lucky charm, not a curse.
