tiffers

Terrible news this morning. Really feel for the Thunder fans and communities. Let's hope this isn't the final nail but very much sounds like that. It's clear as a summers day that L1 and Championship structures have to change immediately before we lose anymore L1 clubs. This is simply unsustainable. I appreciate that clubs have just played a season of rugby to determine their status for next season. But we cannot have the tail wagging the dog and we must do our utmost to allow others to survive (literally) for all to thrive. L1 chairman and CEO's I expect will be kicking down the doors of the RFL imminently to discuss this, right?

Thanks all! Lots of help there!

Any top tips for *(legally)* watching this game - other than going to Viaplay and paying the £14.99 monthly subscription? Edited to confirm legality!

Tomkins to throw an outrageous dummy, go 30yards and offload to a support player to crash over on 72mins and hang on for a 16-12 win.

They stopped at the 10 from the footage I saw. Could be wrong mind as I wasn't exactly looking for it, rather just noticed it. The 10m rule would apply until Field touches it. Unless the kicker plays them on

We clearly need a change to ensure defenders have some responsibility to get out of the ruck. If they leave limbs and knees in there. If they sit in the back of the ruck then penalise them. It will clean it up a lot!

Once again a lot of limbs miraculously can't get out of rucks.

Yep. May well speed up the ruck a bit if they aren't going to ground.

Do KR have any chance at all in this? You'd think any more points and it's definitely over.

Clearly players are now just taking their other leg off the ground to be tipped over if they are picked up.

Isn't the Wigan 22 offside and advancing forwards in the 10?

Definitely a try.

Heart says HKR. Head says Wigan.

Really pleased for Catalans. Not at all sad to see Saints messing around at the ruck causing them to implode in the final few minutes. It needs sorting.

Get in!!

Lying on top of each other and complaining about it... Wouldnt be disappointed if that came to haunt them having played that game all year.

Game on

They should've taken the 2 previously as well. Not pretty or what we want as viewers but it would've drawn them level now.

Very scrappy first half. Can see this opening up as fatigue sets in.

Catalan lacking composure so far. Just hold the ball!

I think it's very naïve to come to those conclusions quite so easily. To say some people don't 'seem' interested is to not understand them at all. That is assuming they aren't interested because we (on our terms) went to try and engage a particular group and they didn't behave in the way we wanted. If we don't understand values, culture, motivators, drivers of groups of people then we are at best going to (by chance) have them engage with us. Significantly more likely is that they won't engage because we aren't relatable to them and their lives/wants/needs/desires. When we understand more about our audiences we will be far better positioned to harness that to appeal and build our products to serve them best.

Bang. on. the. money.

15 year deal for naming rights of Headingley to AMT Headingley. Biggest deal the club has ever done.

Same down in the south west too

He's made several wrong decisions at the line in the first half and then again. Couple of half breaks have hidden that. Not surprised to hear Amor with the saints loving though
