Why would any team travel then.

That’s probably for a different thread.

I’ve no idea as I have no interest in basketball. Any chance you could investigate the deal the RFL has with IMG.

Who knows none of us on here that’s for sure. What I do know is the clubs and the RFL agreed to it. There are things I don’t like about it but as a game we’ve signed up to it it’s time to make the best of it.

The IMF would be great but I’m not sure their skills would be transferable.

So again what do you want. We have the agreement in place that the clubs and the RFL negotiated and signed off. Do you think we will get a good deal if we go back to IMG to renegotiate.

What is it you want to happen the clubs and the RFL voted for this all people in support of it are saying is shouldn’t we give it a chance. Nobody’s saying it’s perfect but cancelling it before it’s really started is so RL.

Is that a choice though or is that partly down to Saints having the stadium with in the company and with Wigan it’s a completely separate entity.

Sell the club (or at least get new investment) put a new ceo in place.

As London Broncos it already doesn’t matter where in London they end up.

Watching Hull KR absolutely batter Warrington will be entertainment enough.

Just wait until the NRL take over…oh hang on.

I think even that is harsh on the fouled player. We see it in boxing sometimes we’re a glancing blow that doesn’t look like it’s connected properly can finish a fight. If you get caught in the right place it’s very difficult for others to say whether it’s hurt you or not.

This isn’t just head knocks by this time of the season most of the players in the league can only get on the field up to the eyeballs in pain killers.

I haven’t seen the game but I’ve seen enough of GJs posts.

Did you two watch the same game.

Absolutely take the review away take the ball off the player and play on its the only way I see dealing with this without somehow punishing the player being fouled. As I said yesterday I’d then like to see it accepted that fouls that go unpunished in a game should get a heavier punishment at disciplinary.

Yes it’s a nonsense idea just because people are getting frustrated.

You should be ok on a tennis thread just don’t say his name 3 times.

Saints at the time had the best half back pairing in the history of the club with Long and Martyn plus they had the GB scrum half as well in Goulding It was just bad timing for Lee coming through. These sort of decisions are made every year at every club it hardly held him back as he went on to have a great career at Warrington.

I’ve thought about that and the only reason I can see for that is if they felt he was losing the dressing room. In an attempt to say to the players that we as a club are backing him so just get on with it.

They can sit and rewind view different angles to see if it’s crossed any lines that either he should be removed for a hia or just removed full stop. Physios are continuing there work and I’m guessing don’t have the time to go into that much detail.

Nice try. It’s worth a go.

You may well be right but surely we have to trust the medical staff are trained and competent. We really can’t tell watching I could smash my nose like Andy Farrell and still not need a HIA or a huge cut over my eye and still not need one. Or as in this case a lump on the head but what we do know is that player will be monitored now for any signs of concussion kicking in.

The test will be if the player is aware where he is and what he’s doing. Basically what day it is. Any sign that he isn’t quite right will result in a HIA. If we are looking to do one for any head contact we are going to need 10 or 12 people on the bench.
