When will people get into their heads that the RFL did not stop Manchester from applying. The process was there and was open to anyone. Part of that process was to be able to show that applicants were financially sound and there was a £100,000 bond to guarantee that fixtures would be fulfilled. The RFL argued that if applicants had no penalty what was there to stop them defaulting on fixtures which throw the league into disrepute. All talk of regional leagues must be tempered with the ciost of travel AND the willingness of players to actually travel. Increasingly that is a major factor.

Northampton failed to light and Oxford got their place!

Coventry had actually won the old League 3 (2004) and was competing in the NCL when the new League 1 was formulated. Yet their application to join the new League was rejected in favour of Oxford who had no pedigree! When they were admitted into the league they had to sign a £100,000 bond. Hemel had signed the bond but neither Oxford or GAG did not have to sign. Had they signed they would have had to pay the bond in full. The £100,000 bond was the main reason that stopped Manchester from applying

Don't go by train

Get In!!!

EVERY 50/50has gone to Hsven

Normally I would be the first to crow but,..... Yorkshire's struggle is rugby leagues struggle

What a win! What a performance! onwards and upwards

Two men were window shopping one of them said " That's the one I'd get" With that Polyphemus came round the corner and thumped him

Here is an idea... What if we had two officials near the touchline, perhaps carrying flags and being mic'd up and they could assist the man in the middle with some of those functions.. Nah, it'll never catch on.

Is HS2 stopping there?

Very interesting and thought provoking. What a wonderful job Steve has and is doing. I will be joining the new lottery.

Another gud ‘un gone RIP Beep

Two struggling clubs in the same little borough that would rather die than cooperate. With their resources they could be be comfortable in the Championship, washing their faces and giving the local kids an opportunity to carve out careers in RL "WHAT???........Save them "jam eaters"? I would rather stick needles in my eyes than watch that lot" " OVER MY DEAD BODY"

That's 6 then. We get nowt from the RFL

Science won

I had a pair of slow cooked pigs trotters for my tea. I'll let you know if the Protein Pump Inhibitor (Lansoprazole) wins the battle when the heartburn kicks in. Two chances

It might seem like a pasting for the Hurricanes at 26- 54. But it seemed like every set that Doncaster had in the second half thy either got a penalty or 6 again. A clear sending off to a Doncaster at the end of the first hlff was only put on report. At least 2 tries given were clear forward passes. The ref wanted to award one more but the touch judge stood his ground and wouldn't give it. I haven't felt so disappointed in a score line like today ever before.
