I'd buy it if I still lived in England - looks like a good read this month Except {pedant subbing mode}, on-the-ground should be hyphenated (I suppose it might be actually, but it doesn't like it on screen) - otherwise it sounds like a special about the ground report That was the very first thing on the cover that jumped out at me - God, how sad am I?

I know Royce really well - he's a great guy and a great coach, who I'm sure would do an excellent job. Don't forget Penrith won the NRL only a year or so after Royce was sacked - he played a large part in bringing through the players who eventually won the premiership. He's excellent with young players, who really look up to him, so I'm sure he'd do well at bringing through saints' youngsters. He's been really keen to go back to England ever since leaving Hull. If you want to know how committed a coach he is, remember he ran five marathons in five consecutive days when he was coach at Hull, to raise money for the club to sign Des Hasler. That's some achievement

I've only just come across this thread, and that is fantastic. I love the presenter's tone and questions too. Genius . Certainly brightened up my day

Yes, I'm very annoyed as I'm fairly sure they played Melbourne earlier this year (I remember seeing the name) but I didn't know who they were then and didn't go....grrrrrrrr
