  1. Not as far as I know - my nephew was doctor for a few games back in 2014 when we couldn’t get our usual one. The club just signed at least two keighley players on loan so
  2. Expensive to play there so either the funding is very good for them OR they have sponsors that will be covering that cost.
  3. It is - you have to remember the deep rooted cultural ties of RU in Wales and family pressure/prestige. Regan called it how it was - he was bored silly playing the RU game and with the strong set up that was in place then he was able to get exposure before Saints even signed him. Wigan were mad not to sign him when they had the chance......
  4. Cardiff games attracted largest crowds - it IS the place for a SW RL pro side.
  5. Virtually every kid with a sliver of a chance of a pro future in RU here follows RL at SL level and loves to play when given chance. The regions and WRU dangle carrots and incentives that ensure they stick with RU even when these kids aren't really in with a shout. We regularly have several playing for Ospreys sides who they have no intention of taking beyond 16yr old but who they keep within their system via District and Boys Club of Wales setups when really they need to be given proper chance at RL. Raiders location really helps this for the WRU because they are so far from anywhere except Llanelli even if they do train in Bridgend.
  6. With Anthony Seibold as coach....In a town much closer to Cardiff AND Swansea and with an owner who invested much more heavily.
  7. No. The club owners own the Stebonheath bar next to the pitch so no chance.
  8. The injections are great - for about three months. Im in exactly same position as you.
  9. Says in Tiffins statement it’s in Bridgend. It makes sense as none of the players live out that way and Bridgend Is easy access from east and west. I’m just not aware of where it is as I hadn’t heard anything.
  10. I bought a brand new Skoda Fabia estate last February. The deal was too good not to even compared to a second hand one. Best car I’ve ever had.
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/52005370 Used to be my neighbour a few years back. Always cheery and said hello every morning in the paper shop. No age for a guy who still looked the same weight as when he played.
  12. Invited onto the stage with him atLiverpool Empire as a kid with him during panto season in early 80s.. Couldn’t have been nicer and took us backstage for a photo and autographs at the end of it. RIP.
  13. A Black Fox ran across the road in front of my house today. Reported it to www.blackfoxes.co.uk.
  14. Alan Bateman has just ran past me while I’m out walking the dog down a country lane near my house at Mo Farah pace.
  15. Stephen Moore - Dad of Kevin. RIP. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50035065
  16. Tony Mulhearn. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/veteran-liverpool-political-campaigner-tony-17044088
