  1. This Celtic theft fellas hard work.
  2. I thought the reason it was being raised to 10 is clubs/RFL are expecting more and more players to sign with Aussie clubs. So we need more Aussie players to fill the gaps in order to try and keep the standard as high as possible.
  3. That doesn’t mean we haven’t improved. I think the current England team would put 50 pts on the 1985 GB team it’s just the way sport is. Unfortunately the Aussie haven’t stood still either and if anything because of the size of the game over there are probably improving faster than we are.
  4. Saints own the houses the players are put it it’s actually a really good investment for the club. The house near me that has had loads of players in will have made the club money. If they ever choose to sell it.
  5. It’s his wage he can choose to have it in cash or it can go on housing or a car it’s up to him.
  6. That’s part of his package though it isn’t just some bonus. He can have say £200k or £170k and one of Saints houses for his stay it’s his choice.
  7. I think the clock is allowed to run for 1 minute before it is stopped. At least it is when players are taking a conversion.
  8. Dodd has been dropped out of the starting side and being a half back I doubt he’ll make the 17 now.
  9. Tough ask against Munster and Hughes but he’s been waiting for this chance has to perform now.
  10. If you knock after a set restart it’s a knock on. You wouldn’t get a penalty.
  11. If this can be beneficial to both clubs what’s not to like. If anything this game has just highlighted how much life Hudds current stadium sucks out of the atmosphere. It does again show how important a purpose built RL stadium is. Even Wigans and Hull FCs crowds can look poor unless it’s a big game or they are pushing an event. They are two of the best supported teams in the comp what chance does Huddersfield have.
  12. The atmosphere certainly came through on the tv. The sooner KD can get you into a suitably sized ground permanently the better.
  13. It was but at least 5 Wigan players were 2m offside and the ref chose to ignore it. I’m assuming that he didn’t want to get involved at such a critical time. For a ref though choosing not to get involved can have a big influence anyway as we saw.
  14. Absolutely let’s start penalisingit. Can I add another pet hate that’s creeping into the game. Players caught on the last tackle refusing to hand the ball over and even throwing it away rather than give it to the opposition. Just penalise it would be stopped in a round.
  15. They have 100% set a new bench mark and if other teams want to catch up they are going to have to start investing in their women’s teams. Which can only be a good thing for the women’s game.
  16. I thought Rovers would win by 10-20 points maybe a few less once the rain started. In the end Wire were superb and managed to get to the point were the game was there for the taking a couple of times. They just couldn’t take those chances but oi don’t think they could give anymore.
  17. He was starting to look at whether he had grounded it with the torso. You could hear talking in the background Then without seeing anymore video confidently decided it wasn’t grounded and just needed to see whether HKR had got to the ball. Now either the ref had said he’s happy that the Wire player wasn’t intentionally grounding it or someone reminded them that a defender can’t ground the ball with the torso. Which is what was said on the BBC after the game.
  18. There’s no mention of loads of stuff we rule on we can’t just pretend that isn’t how it’s currently reffed
  19. They’ve gone to the point where wire are the better team now. It’s going to take something special to turn this around now.
  20. That a nonsense by the ref the player playing the ball lifting the leg of the marker and tipping him over is 100% a penalty. That could be a massive shift in the game.
