  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. There’s no mention of loads of stuff we rule on we can’t just pretend that isn’t how it’s currently reffed
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. He’s one of the few players who had the same impact in SL that the Aussie signings of the 80s had. You could say French is having a similar influence now.
  7. Absolutely I did think about adding him in with Meninga as the short term impact signing. A special mention also for McCracken,Gibbs and Fairleigh who I really wish could’ve stayed at the club longer.
  8. For a one off impact signing has to be Meninga just a pleasure to watch him for those few games. A signing that impacted the club long term I’d say Long or Sculthorpe with a special mentions for Newlove and Martyn. If we are saying home grown players are a signing then either Cunningham or Roby. I’m sure there are loads I’ve missed out that I will think of later.
  9. Saints playing a bit better at the minute but this is a step to far for the current squad.
  10. NSW had a couple of players take the game by the scruff of the neck. Queenslands big players like Pongia and Munster went missing.
  11. Yet again Grant giving a penalty away trying to be clever. He really needs to get that out of his game.
  12. 1/ HTF 2/ Lomax 3/ Best 4/ Mitchell 5/ Coates 6/ Munster 7/ Cleary 8/ Hass 9/ Grant 10/ Collins 11/ Crichton 12/ Martin 13/ Yeo
  13. I’m not sure what you think the fit and proper person test covers Harry. It’s very limited in what it is looking at basically are you banned from being a company director,do you have any live convictions,are you involved in any other RL club. On top of this they will probably test for proof of funds for any new owners. That wouldn’t mean much though as they arent in any sort of position to make them spend that money
  14. Absolutely but that can be turned around quickly provided you’ve got the money in the first place. Look at Hull FC gone from an absolute shambles to a competitive side in an off season.
  15. In a sport that consistently struggles to find 12 teams capable of spending what is a ridiculously low Salary cap. You are seriously asking what a club with either the biggest or second biggest turnover brings to the sport.
  16. Things change though so just because Welsby has turned an offer down doesn’t mean he wouldn’t take the next one.
  17. It’s the other way round as in playing for a tier 1 nation would prevent you playing origin.
  18. Apparently it should be quite cheap for Hill Dickinson as they’ve sponsored on a no win no fee basis.
