Mulhern made a huge difference, he lifts everyone around him when he’s on. The worry is that when him and Ipape went off we lost all momentum forcing Lam to throw them back on. Really need another forward in as we can’t afford to be flogging those 2 week in week out.

There was nothing controversial about any of the decisions tonight.

See my follow up, the game clock was a ‘guide’ on the apparently

Maybe not, as the clock is now at 81.30.

There’s 20 seconds and 8 points in it, so yeah

Yes it was less aimed at you and more at others on the thread that seem to be discovering that local radio is biased toward local teams for the first time ever. In other news, I believe Warren Turley just shouted ‘drop it!, as Rourke passed the ball and forced the error for Leigh to score.

Also, and this is brand new information I’ve just found out, water is wet.

Tesi Nui is a beast

Good try that for wakey. Leigh need to do better than that defensively

Anyone else’s feed all over the place? Getting whiplash trying to follow this

Armstrong has become a real liability under the high ball the past few weeks. Been at direct fault for at least 4 tries now the past 2 weeks

The rule changed this year and players within the 10 not directly influencing play no longer count. There’s been nothing wrong with any of the decisions so far(providing you are up to date with 2025 rules)

Wigan would struggle to get a referee if that was the case considering half the full time ref pool are from there

pretty sure that's the point. And yes it was quite an obvious April fools.

Yes, I hadn't considered the NRL imports, so probably similar. Depends where you draw the line in time I guess, on what constitutes someone's heritage. Go back far enough and you basically start to cover most of the world, but no one really says they are of Viking/roman descent these days

I'd imagine much fewer for SL, but only because Australia was much more recently colonised vs the UK/Europe so it's fresher in everyone's memories.

Well you gotta make that payroll somehow

My understanding from speaking to people involved was that there was an option that Nakubuwai was able to trigger, which the club didn’t think he would do. Was definitely not the clubs choice to keep him on, although you could certainly question those allowing the option into the contract in the first place.

Same here. Despite initially being outraged on the day of the rebrand at the loss of heritage, I’d rather we moved full time to black and gold as a home shirt

At this point the chances of the Wigan game going ahead are diminishing rapidly.

Maybe not but taking out even more loans (as was reported in covering January's payroll) certainly didn't help either. It's not like the argument that 'oh but we needed to maintain a playoff squad at great risk to make it attractive for the new owners' still carries weight either - it's very clear that SRD are/were just a millstone to accept in order to get the land and stadium for the ownership group. They'd have probably been quicker on the money if it was a team with less liabilities rather than the apparent money pit SRD have turned into.

a club statement calling out their own owners is pretty unprecedented. Things not looking well at all.

Happy to see Halton, Mulhern and Charnley all back in the 21, not sure all will play but we're getting close to being back at full tilt. Need a massive response on the shambles of a performance last week.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/66086940 The tournament - featuring the men's, women's and wheelchair competitions for the first time - was dogged by disappointing ticket sales. Financial results, published in full later this year, are expected to reveal the extent of losses.

I made a comment in response to Phiggins, and you responded to me. I literally haven't done anything but respond to your direct comments aimed at me. If you are going to continue to make things up rather than actually address any of the points I've made, I probably wouldn't make it so easily disprovable. You still seem really confused by the concept of people responding when you direct comments towards them, it's no more or less obsessive for me to continue responding to your comments as it is for you to respond to me. That's how message boards work. If you are done with the debate, that is entirely your prerogative but don't expect other people to just let you throw out ad hominem comments without response.
