He hasn’t been on loan at Town yet though has he David?

Very but surely there are other options

I’m not criticising the move back home for family support but that doesn’t explain him going out with his mates after a game and then missing training or, if correct, the constant disrespecting of his coach

Powell continues to moan and whinge to deflect from his under performing team

I know what you mean about the lack of any impenetrable accents but the presenters still managed to represent a lot of the main RL areas

One of the conditions when Wigan signed Hardaker was for him to live over there away from his local “influences”. A plan that seemed to work well initially. He then moved “back home” and the “low level misdemeanours” seem to have recommenced including missing training due to being out the night before with his mates. I'm not surprised Wigan have said “enough is enough” but bearing in mind Leeds are one of the clubs he has previously burnt I’m struggling to understand why Leeds want him especially as they are trying to reset their culture etc

And as you posted above those are the tries that are attractive to the viewer new or otherwise

How long should they wait until they pick the game to televise?

Is it just that they are so frustrated/ angry with how it has all turned out that they have had enough and didn’t want to get into a he said/ they said argument?

Reads like he was on his last chance and, for whatever reason, blew it

Which frees up Agar to go to KR?

Skippy? Dame Edna? Crocodile Dundee?

Why do you think that?

Presumably it will be the coaching staff although at Leeds that is currently the caretaker one as Smith doesn’t start for at least a couple of weeks

He has removed any reference to Wigan from his Twitter biog which is partly feeding the “he must be leaving” rumour mill. Would be strange if Wigan allow him to go to another SL club mid season unless they don’t see the new club as serious competition

A surprise but when you read the comments from the press conference it’s less of a surprise. A number of clubs will be interested in having him in some sort of role

Yes but recruiting starts on 1st May or at least when you can officially approach players at other clubs

Probably would have do but that’s the nature of the TV deal

1,975 at the West Cumbria derby

Dewsbury Celtic v Crosfields for me A decent game with some good tries ended in a 22-18 win for the visitors who had been down 12-0 early on but fought back to lead 22-12 before Celtic scored on the final whistle. Crosfields were the much larger team which they used to their advantage once they had got off the bus but both teams threw the ball about. Smallish crowd probably due to the weather and the challenge cup. No admission charge as it is a public field but £2.50 for a programme plus the standard halftime raffle.

Correct but you can nominate people and if they meet the requisite standard then they should get the appropriate award. I would hazard a guess that some very worthy people have not been nominated for a multitude of reasons

How many have been nominated? Anyone, in theory, can nominate as per the underneath link https://www.gov.uk/honours

No derby on the BBC that I can recall and even 6k is well below the record attendance

It’s the equivalent of 2 players for next season which helps with the low central funding
