This post is for a thread about recreating the magic of the 1895 Cup.

London have decided to embrace the need to score off field points with IMG by failing to do anything to increase their off field points and have decided to match this by putting together a side that can't score any points on the field. The usual score is 4 or lower. So ... expect an unconverted try at some point in the second half.

Just shows the danger of unrestricted P&R but, also, the absolute failure of the Broncos under David Hughes.

Clubs are able to specify a small number of dates when their ground won't be available.

They do seem to be stronger now than at any point since their sojourn in the professional league but (from the outside looking in) weaker than they were 15-16 years ago.

Aggregate scores for a series are not a good idea. You need to let this suggestion go to a farm upstate for its retirement.

I'll echo the suggestion above that one will be Warrington and the other will be Headingley.

Warm up - Cumbria v England Home nations - Wales v England Test 1 - England v Samoa (London) Test 2 - England v Samoa (M62)

You always wonder about his sanity. He's a scientologist.

93,000 there to get excited by the miss.

The snippets are depressing and they also appear to contradict previous snippets.

This is entirely why you should refer to them as Notts Forest and Nottm County. Precious snowflakes.

I remember looking her up at the time I saw the film and being surprised how few movies she'd done. Looking again on wiki just now, it looks like a lot of fairly okay TV roles in her career but no films since Palm Springs.

The global audience would stand a good chance of being smaller than the domestic so why bother?

You'll note that once the Aussies worked out how to be actually fit professionals and not just lumps of meat to be hacked around a park that that stopped happening.

Was this when the sport went bankrupt, players had long term unsupported injuries in their retirement, and we still had to fill our squads by poaching lads from union?

Post five on page one.

With one major point of learning: do not play this mid season showcase where the game is already saturated. That's not fishing where the fishes are. That's overkill.

The amusing twist is that the league got their rule wrong and gave a bye to the wrong club (apparently). That has now been sorted.

And this is where we fundamentally disagree. If it doesn't go well then that's time, money and our limited number of representative windows wasted. That's a big deal given these things are meant to make money, raise the game's profile and improve the players.

That makes it very easy for a Roses match to be a success. You've set the bar at "just play it".

I think the handball was a clear penalty given how handball is called now. The others would, I think, now always go with the on field ref's call.

I think I said at the time that it was an indicator of the criteria being marked as cheaply as possible. Doing things in such a way is a rugby league wide problem.

We should try that. Now, just need to find some Gentlemen.

Replacing doing one thing badly with doing another badly doesn't really feel like progress.
