  1. 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.
  2. Aggregate scores for a series are not a good idea. You need to let this suggestion go to a farm upstate for its retirement.
  3. I'll echo the suggestion above that one will be Warrington and the other will be Headingley.
  4. Warm up - Cumbria v England Home nations - Wales v England Test 1 - England v Samoa (London) Test 2 - England v Samoa (M62)
  5. The snippets are depressing and they also appear to contradict previous snippets.
  6. This is entirely why you should refer to them as Notts Forest and Nottm County. Precious snowflakes.
  7. 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.
  8. The global audience would stand a good chance of being smaller than the domestic so why bother?
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. That makes it very easy for a Roses match to be a success. You've set the bar at "just play it".
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. We should try that. Now, just need to find some Gentlemen.
  18. Replacing doing one thing badly with doing another badly doesn't really feel like progress.
  19. SOO is, as far as I can tell, basically unique in world sport. The curse for us is that it exists in rugby league and rugby league only has two professional set-ups. And because that 'unique in world sport' outlier works in one, the other sometimes thinks it should work for it as well.
  20. What a crazy football day. These were just 'my' bits: And here's Newhaven celebrating that title:
  21. So Nottingham Forest outright accusing a referee of being bent (not just being wrong) may not be the biggest soccer story of the day.
  22. How does this compare with other sites? My feeling is we're close to zero articles across all the former broadsheets, slightly better in the legacy tabloids.
