It's fair to question whether York's 'ceiling' is any higher than, say, Huddersfield's, who we can probably all agree are not a RL success story. It's not fair to question their 'tradition' and that point has been rightly trashed. The two things York appear to have in their favour (again, sorry, but comparing to Huddersfield) is a stadium which the Giants would kill for and a progressive and proactive club management, with the club being a pioneer of women's rugby in particular. I've been sucked in to some extent by the newness and ambition, but do think there is a good chance their attendances settle around 2,500 - 4,000, meaning they are not really a SL standard club by any of our normal ambitions or measures.

There's probably not a 'bad' way to do it. Toulouse, Montpellier and Carcassonne are all beautiful cities worth visiting in their own right if your preference is to visit France (which would also be mine). Montpellier and Toulouse both a couple of hours away but not difficult by train.

We've spent most of the last 4/5 years moaning that the Hoover logo was too garish; now everyone is trying to think of ways to make it more conspicuous. Can't win.

I'm surprised the stadium allows them to announce that.

Staggeringly bad.

On three sides.

It would help if your mate Reece Walsh didn't whack anyone around the head this week.

I thought Burgess was (surprisingly) a left winger.

I'd like to see Newman and Burgess get a go this week, with Farnworth swapping sides. Wardle and Johnstone haven't done much wrong but neither has caused the Australians any issues. Both Newman and Burgess bring a bit of something different. In Newman's case, a higher chance of someone getting headbutted. In Burgess's case, he could disrupt the Aussies by warming up in a Tommy Robinson t-shirt. I'd also give Lewis the nod at stand off.

That is courageous.

Nobody's ever implemented my plan. If the pitch is shorter than the regulation 100m, not only should they shorten all the distances so it looks more aesthetically pleasing, but both teams should be stopped from playing anyone over the height of 5ft8 so it 'looks' correct.

You don't understand what this thread is about, do you?

Cumbria vs Scotland at Workington. Officially set as a Scotland home game.

He'll face up to any critics by doxxing them on social media.

'Easy to get to' is a stretch. It's in the middle of an as-yet-undeveloped area far from anywhere, 1.5 miles from the edge of the city centre. It'd have to be a hell of a fanzone.

It's a good idea but doesn't have to be annual - the novelty would soon go. Cumbria should certainly play a fixture every year though.

Now Ive looked again, it looks like the 'BULLS' is the top of a bath towel the bull's got wrapped around it, chest-high.

Don't think it's that bad.

Strewth that sounds exciting. Get Worzel round you can watch it together.

Until head coaches and club doctors are up on criminal negligence charges for episodes like this, they'll keep happening. Utterly sickening and hope the guy is ok.

I don't think there was anything unconscious about Australia getting a penalty on the 2nd tackle of the match for the very 'offence' they'd spent the whole week suggesting England had got away with.

Do England's men's football team have a meltdown when they underperform in big tournaments? Yes.

What were the skills he showed yesterday? Variety of ways of ####ing someone in the head?

Who are 'we'? I've always believed that, at the point we admit a club into our league system, they should be part of 'us' as much as Batley or Hull. And it is on RL Commercial to secure a good deal for Super League from us having a French presence. It's no more Toulouse's duty than it is Huddersfield's.
