You do really have it in for those two! Mbye has been consistently decent since he's had a regular spot in the halves, and that's been reflected in the run of results. Wellens seems to have finally got his team selection right, and working well. Only 14 points conceded in 5 games surely merits consideration that he might not be such a bad coach. Not everyone gets it right immediately. I only saw the game on TV but Leeds looked like they could have played another 80 minutes without looking like even threatening to score.

Huge boost for international RL

Well that's very kind of you, but what makes you think I'm a "neutral sat at home"? -
A real shame for Grace, desperately unlucky with injuries. If he can stay fit for a year or so it's not too late for him to recover some of that early magic. Worth a gamble I'd have thought.

Yeah always liked Gigot. He was never far from doing something mental. Hope he has a happy retirement.

Turns out Ponga's rubbish anyway, the lad Sharpe is way better! As for Scotland, I'd rather see Cam Murray, Angus Crichton, Campbell Graham and all the rest with good Scottish names than watch another debacle like the WC Italy defeat again. -
I think we can agree from his horrible stint in charge of England/GB that he'd rather play some bang average Aussie out of position than give an Englishman a go. But it's just as likely that he's just a bit of a dotard. From what I can see he's the oldest top-level domestic coach in the world in any sport. Sir Alex Ferguson called it a day when he was 'only' 71. How Bennett keeps getting a gig I don't know. Dodd just needs to hang in there and wait for him to get emptied.

Hi, and welcome. It's a long time ago now, but I also got into RL after watching a game by chance on TV, and have never regretted it. It's a great sport to watch on TV, and even better when you're at the ground. From a neutral perspective, my recommendation would be Cas v Leeds, which is kind of thought of as a derby of sorts. I haven't been to one for a fair few years, but there was always a great atmosphere, and it's a chance to enjoy one of the last remaining old-style grounds seeing you've missed out on Central Park, Knowsley Road, the Boulevard, Wilderspool (although that was a bit shoite) etc. Cas fans will hopefully be able to say that it's still as good as I remember it!

I can understand Leeds being awful - that's a squad full of 2nd rate players. What happened to the days when they were full of home-grown talent like McGuire and Burrow backed up by top Aussies like Buderus and Webb. None of the current squad come close. Croft is still living off the reputation of one season. What I can't understand is how Catalans, who do have that quality of player, can look so clueless. Worrying times for McNamara, I'd say.

Salford financial issues(again…)
Human Punk replied to LeytherRob's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Well that's some sort of consolation at least.
