Sam Tomkins is coming out of retirement to play the remainder of the 2024 season with Catalan https://www.superleague.co.uk/article/4381/sam-tomkins-comes-out-of-retirement

Are you Charlie Bucket?

This was one of those he mention after the game on Friday when asked which of his tries he thought were special

What makes that even more special is that at the time, if he hit the corner flag, he was in touch

Ryan Hall 2 tries in 2 minutes with just a few minutes to go to break the SL try scoring record Glad I switched over at half time now

And nice to see tickets on sale straight away

According to the RFL website it's the ABK Test Series. Nice to see them retain a new sponsor

I booked post out tickets before Christmas and received them Friday, I added another in April as a print at home, that one came 2 weeks ago. Assuming they are not in your junk mail, I'd phone RFL ticketing tomorrow morning, they may email them straight away or pick them up at the stadium

That BBC programme was a hard watch but I'm glad I got through it. Just when you think you can't admire someone any more than what you do they go and top it. The courage to show yourself when you at your lowest is beyond words that I have.

Just got in and switched the television on just as the news was starting only to hear this as the headline story. As others have said, knowing that it was coming doesn't make it any easier. RIP Rob

I hope I am wrong, but you'd think that if they were genuinely closing in on 70k sales that they'd start opening up other blocks. There again this is the RFL

Great Clifton is just off the A66 Cockermouth to Workington road, but closer to Workington. I've never asked anyone, but doubt that anyone from Clifton would consider themselves from Workington. Some of the clubs mentioned, Salterbeck, Westfield etc are from in the town of Workington, but generally the long standing clubs with history, their own club houses, junior set ups etc are from the towns and villages near Workington. I may be wrong here, but I think most of the great Cumbrian players who have played for Workington have come from Maryport area, Broughton, Seaton or come up the road from Whitehaven

Broughton Red Rose is pretty much on the outskirts of Cockermouth, maybe 1-2 miles if you use the country lane. Broughton Moor is between Cockermouth and Maryport, probably thought more of a Maryport club

Anyone received their tickets yet? I've received the extra print at home one I ordered a few weeks ago but not the physical tickets from my main order. Getting a bit close to the day for comfort

I agree, reserve 10-15000 for the finalists behind the goals, including seats club Wembley and all other available tickets on general sale.
