VR officials, has it gone to far.

By having Corey Parker mention that in commentary? -

What danger. -

I think that’s being disingenuous towards Parker, especially given his recent diagnoses. It’s not in his interest to dis a player for no reason. But your 3rd para is the crux of it. Players, coaches and Refs (and people in life these days) know exactly what the score is regarding blame and culpability. It’s a difficult time for the game. -
Well, we should be remembering this in, say, 3 years time to check for progress and evidence. The England, France and Australia are also Members, so it would have been good to see any additional money going to some of the developing nations.

yeah, we know where that’s going ! Brotherhood of neck rubbers. -
I will very much look forward to see evidence of this: “The increased revenue will allow IRL to invest more substantially into our members and grow the sport globally, deliberately, and sustainably. ”

And this was my initial response to Harry. The coaches can have a big impact but (imo) they won’t. Too much at stake. It’s such a shame because players are asked to bust a gut to get back into the defensive line or to support the ball and instead they are taking the easy option of staying down. By the way, I am talking non head high contacts, involving players simulating injury. -

What about the neck, side or back of the head? I presume you meant ‘head’ but I have to ask. -

All of them. -

It’ll be the coaches that dictate whether this stops or remains. Too much at stake for some of them to do that. -
That is the norm in many situations though. Appeal for a lesser charge and settle for something in between. My take on the event was that the Player was defenceless on the ground. Smith made a deliberate attack to his head using the full force of his body to increase the impact. I cant see how this incident can be seen as anything other than as serious as it gets.

I think he’s only here for 2024 season but I would imagine they’ll be wanting him for 2025 if he puts in.

Could do. Thinking about it, Romano has more or less been ever present this year..

Olympic Games: Paris 2024
Lowdesert replied to Futtocks's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
I seem to remember one of last nights races still had the WR held by China…..since 2009! -
Catalans have signed Reims Smith from the Storm. I think they’ve got a good , experienced player there. Surprised they let him go. I suspect he’ll replace Romano but we’ll see.

Is it even the same sport?
Lowdesert replied to graveyard johnny's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Seemed to be the same sport when they played the WCC earlier this year. -
IMG Grading System (Many Merged Threads)
Lowdesert replied to marklaspalmas's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I would have thought that it would have been in IMGs interests to post any kind of gains/progress which satisfy the needs and aspirations of the Clubs & fans. Just looking at their news but nothing on RL. I thought SoO might have been there or the WCC. Edit: News on Superleague+ is there. -
https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/directory/42/walks-in-lincolnshire/category/103 This gives a raft of walks in Lincs. Maybe you could go through them and find a point to link a route to Boston. Before I retired the company I was helping out did a lot or archaeology around the north east of Lincoln. Some beautiful villages. Something to consider although might seem obvious. Making your own routes up might involve walking along the highway and the risk that brings!

Before the game I thought Freeman needed to improve his kicking game. Imo he did but a few werent backed up by a good enough chase or were to the right place (TIG, deeper into Cats half). Probably the difference between Catalans ending up further into Hulls territory or having to drop out. That’s down to organisation and practice and imo was the main difference. TBH I have to bite my tongue every time I comment about the organisation.
