Cumbrian Fanatic

Got to admit, that had crossed my mind

Sean O'Loughlin is out of the Lions tour due to Injury https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/50034410 This will probably be the end of his international career I'd have thought. With Burgess out I guess we'll be looking at James Graham as captain

There'll be no quarter asked nor given, but great to see this

Heard about this lad a couple of years ago and he was described to me as iron hard, he's certainly looking that way. I posted shared the link Damien posted on Facebook and asked the question, if he's doing this at 18 what's he going to be like in his mid 20's? A mate suggested concussed - lets hope not!

He got plenty of plaudits from the Warrington fans who were sat next to me and deservedly so

I have lots of drinks breaks scheduled, so many in fact that they start on Thursday evening

You are not wrong, Club Wembley seats have been available since the tickets went on sale, we bought ours last October

Well we've got 18 going, 8 of whom live in London so we've beat his figure

You get 40% discount for a group booking of 15 or more, it's possible that this is where this has come from

Glad to hear that. I hope they get in as I think it would be good for Allerdale to have a presence in the NCLK

Heard it was the East Cost line this year and anyone travelling from Yorkshire needed to travel from Sheffield. Thought the West Coast main line to Euston was supposed to be ok this year, we bought our tickets a few weeks ago and nothing was mention about the West Coast main line, has this changed?

Beat me to it Davo, not forgetting Barrow Island, Askam, Millom and Hensingham also in the NCL

They are great when they are competitive, many of the players have worked together or went to school together and are friends, as are many of the spectators, so it makes for a real rivalry. This weekends game between Egremont and Wath Brow should be a real humdinger. I would have Egremont as slight favourites but it could go either way.

Probably because banning rugby will allow it to get on its soap box but have virtually no effect on sales whereas banning football would absolutely decimate sales. To say The Sum are being disingenuous about this is an understatement, whatever misguided assurances the RFL might have given The Sun knew they were banned from Anfield and almost certainly knew that this applied to all events. As others have said, boycotting The Sun would be easy for me as not only will I not buy it I wouldn't even take it when they were giving them away for free in the newsagents a few weeks ago

It's a fair question and the answer is probably not, though I'm not sure who would do it. I haven't seen this at Whitehaven as I tend to go home straight after the game but I seen it on a very few occasions at amateur games and it always makes me cringe
