We've done the other Superleague clubs a favour by boosting their gates and their points difference.

In Bradford, this scene is virtually exclusive to young (Pakistani / Bangladeshi) Muslims. There is a large sector of teens/twenties who reject "British" culture and class themselves alongside Black American gangs and gangster rap etc blaring out of car speakers at 90dB. The balaclavas and/or masks are generally only worn on electric scooters and electric bikes . . . for many of them, that's whilst doing their "job" of delivering drugs. Car / scooter / electric bike riding ignores much of traffic law and convention. The council has put speed humps down dozens of city streets to protect pedestrians and everyday drivers. The Police? Don't make me laugh.

Nil Desperandum. We can still finish in the Top 14. I'm half-hoping my eyes have been permanently damaged by last night's eclipse.

Steve Barwick, aged 65. Nearly 500 first class games for Glamorgan, starting as a fast bowler and ending as a slow bowler.

I sponsored a player in the World Cup game in 2020. "America" players were mainly from American Samoa. We lost fairly comfortably.

I remember when the World Club Champions had those colours.

Not to worry, Haggerty will probably sign him for the Bulls.

Haggerty and Bateman. Two big egos. I predict they will kick off and it will be fun reading.

Did he fall or was he pushed? "A note from BBC Radio 5 Live controller Heidi Dawson to staff said: 'I wanted to let you know that Tony Livesey has decided to leave his presenting role on 5 Live." I don't listen to Radio 5 but Tony Livesey always came across as a decent bloke with a sense of humour. As far as I'm aware, in this country anyone remains innocent till proved guilty. I expect the woke BBC management will appoint some anodyne person of ethnic background and/or non-heterosexual preference to replace him. I'll stick with Planet Rock on my alarm every morning. Even though I live with the constant fear that it will play something with sexist lyrics.

Rod Liddle, 66.

Very poor game, frustrating to watch. Both sides missing players and lack of cohesion is the result. We get the same fare at Odsal. I've never known a season where so many teams have been hit by so many injuries.

I'm old enough to remember Ian Botham's demise as captainand England brought in Mike Brearley . . . not good enough to be a test player as a batsman but plenty good enough to be a test batsman-and-captain. It suited the ego of each regular team members that none of the other regulars was preferred to him. Results improved tremendously. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be current equivalent to Brearley in county cricket.

Joe Root appointed England Test Captain. Probably didn't want the job but probably the selectors think Harry Brook owes England a few long innings before he can get the job.

I'm on my second bus pass.

How many Bulls players would get signed by another Superleague club. I reckon: Bulls Players signed before Kurt Haggerty turned up Blake, Fulton, Scurr, Souter. Possibly Hooley as a squad player; he can play in several positions and is an excellent goalkicker. I don't think any of them have improved a jot since playing under Haggerty. Bulls Players signed by Kurt Haggerty Nikorema, Sutton . . . both already proven players in the NRL. Possibly Aekins and Ryan as squad players. Both can play in several positions. Mellor and Ackers ... possibly as squad players, but their age would count against them.
