In yesterday's episode, his first, he specified Rugby League.

Adam, a contestant on this evening's show, was a touch-judge in Albania's first ever Rugby League international, apparently.

"In the fire, the Boss will come..."

Whoops, skipped that and just saw Jack Wighton in the OP. Still fitting, as Sam was selected twice in Wigan's team of the century.

Not surprised; he was impressive despite the Broncos' terrible form when he first got into the first team. Now the club's performances have picked up, his qualities are much more obvious.

Sam Panapa, of course, has to be part of this thread.

We've moved on since Saturday. Maybe you're the Eurovision obsessive?

Chairman Mo dragged a furiously unwilling sport into the world of full professionalism and relevance in the modern sporting landscape - a position from which far too many are still eager to retreat. Now we need someone to do the same, but for the 21st Century. That's one hell of a job requirement.

Let's not forget, Maurice could even talk the Kangaroos out of reneging on their international obligations. Now that is impressive!

A recent interview with Maurice: https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2022/05/17/watch-maurice-lindsay/ "Recently, Executive Director, Kris Radlinski, travelled to meet Maurice Lindsay at his home in Lytham St Annes to chat about his memories of his time at Wigan and in the sport of Rugby League. The interview was to be used as part of our 150th year celebrations, but following today’s sad news, it seemed appropriate to share."

One of the most significant off-field figures in the game, Chairman Mo was one of those people with a vision, who could (and would) get things done, and who wouldn't file everything in the "too difficult" bin.

I just posted a little something in the What are you listening to thread...
