  1. I think it’s more the small forwards strategy than any bias against York who play in an entirely different way than he would. York won the comp mainly by picking a giant pack in the last few weeks and winning the battle in the middle - Saints’ individual errors were also key of course. A Stuart Barrow team couldn’t possibly have done what York did in the last few weeks of the season. I’m getting a lot of grief for the article in the Facebook group, but I stand by it. I hope I haven’t offended any player, but I’ve consistently made the same arguments for two years. Prop is a specialist position and you can’t keep putting medium-build back-rowers there.
  2. Is Emily Rudge’s international career over? Why is Stuart Barrow still picking small forwards and overlooking the in-form Savannah Andrade & Jasmine Bell? https://womensrl.com/?p=579
  3. That is one of the best lines I've ever read about rugby league. Bravo!
  4. Tonight's awards night - who will win what? https://womensrl.com/?p=554
  5. I’d go for Anfield without a doubt. To be fair to the people who come up with the shortlist, it’s done before the end of the season because of the timing of the (Wo)Man of Steel dinner. It’s crazy to present awards without taking the most important games into consideration because occasionally this sort of thing will happen. What Anfield has done this season alone makes her one of the best coaches I’ve ever seen.
  6. yeah, they need props. Shona can do a job there, but she's easily a second rower first
  7. As Leeds say goodbye to Sophie Robinson, we understand Wigan have made offers to Amy Hardcastle & Shona Hoyle, although one Rhino has turned them down... https://womensrl.com/?p=547
  8. Thanks mate, I’ve changed that. I have terrible eyesight and it was on the far side
  9. Wow! What a game. I loved every minute of that. Here's a pretty long report if you're interested ... York Valkyrie Defend their Super League Crown! (womensrl.com)
  10. Leigh Leopards Promoted to Super League! (womensrl.com) Really enjoyed that game. Report above. Leigh very comfortable after scoring 22 points in the first half.
  11. York could match Saints in the forwards in the grand final, but they won't be able to come close to matching their playmakers, and that's why they can't win writes Jason Emery https://womensrl.com/?p=515
  12. We've heard that each team will be able to name ten substitutes in the Las Vegas Test. Surely not! More here: https://womensrl.com/?p=508
  13. Couple of bits of reading for you. 2005 Challenge Cup matchwinner Paul Cooke previews Sunday's WSL Grand Final between St Helens and York Valkyrie: https://womensrl.com/?p=506 In her latest column, Channy Crowl looks ahead to Sunday's double header at Saints: Featherstone v Leigh & St Helens v York: womensrl.com/?p=504 Any predictions?
  14. Well yes, but for some reason it didn’t quite ring true! It was a weird chat. I’m sure I’ve read an interview where he said he was born in Horwich.
