Moove

Says in the minutes that he was charged with grade A. Think it's just a typo on the web page where it has NFA for Tom Davies but N/A in the minutes. Guessing N/A is just where the charge doesn't carry a penalty.

Redistribute all supporters equally across all 36 teams. Force them to relocate them to even up the gate receipts too. Anyone new goes into a draft to see where they go. Seems fair. Next!

Yes, it's on Sky. They're showing all the NRL pre-season games that weekend apparently

Matthew Shaw reported after the vote on 13th October that it had been clarified that if a Cat B finishes bottom of SL and a Cat B wins the Championship then they would swap as under P&R. I haven't seen that in any other reporting of that same meeting though which is surprising as it's quite a specific point - Sky, TRL etc were still just reporting it as P&R being scrapped with annual re-assessments of Cat B clubs on both on and off field measures determining who is in SL. Ultimately though we're not really going to know until those on and off field measures are confirmed and the illustrative gradings are done at the end of next season. So plenty of time for another 60 pages of hypotheticals

Still not convinced this is their real shirt. With red and white stripes under the claw marks on the back now I'm half expecting the jaguar stuff to completely disappear by February. Surely...

Apologies if I've missed something but you can select southern or eastern terrace. It defaults to best available standing tickets but the drop down list lets you pick south, east or west if you have a preference. Weirdly (on mobile at least) the list of standing options has south four times, east twice and west three times.

On the plus side, now Derek's picked a different clip art image for the leopard/jaguar head it no longer has the testicles (or face with sunglasses and a moustache if you prefer) at the top

Well it's a far more positive thing to be saying than offering people a fight on social media like earlier in the year. So thumbs up from me. If in 3-5 years that means we've got another strong competitive club challenging for honours then great.

The old "I was talking out of my behind so I'll pass it off as fishing" routine

I don't think you understand the meaning of the word 'majority'. Saints have five in the squad. Who are the other six Saints players who are fit and should be playing on top of that?

Surely Wakefield are showing that can be done now despite being under constant threat of relegation? With a Cat B license they'd have better protection assuming they'd be one of the top scoring Cat B holders. Unless the criteria is going to change drastically from season to season then clubs in that sort of situation are going to have a bit more security even without the guarantee of a Cat A. Presumably the aim is also to help such clubs attract further investment knowing what they'd need to do to reach a Cat A and cement their position in the top division?

Loop fixtures gone for 2024... https://twitter.com/jdgsport/status/1575121480505085952?s=20&t=-gZpudb9ZzAi27mXYhrfYQ

It sounds like that's a short term thing. Just reading they're aiming to have a top division where all clubs are grade A's, so presumably the idea is that enough B's will make the step up in a shortish period then others will only be admitted as the pot grows. Dangles a carrot for those who don't already have their house in order I guess.

Yes?

Guaranteed he'll either get sent off or man of the match now The whole thing is a circus.

Hold on to your hats ladies and gents, internet explosion imminent

I don't see why they can't. Probably worth them asking about the Tanginoa and Sao ones too. In fact they should have got in touch with Hull as they've had three unsuccessful but non-frivolous appeals in the last year or so. Presumably they already know about the reasoning behind the Prior one. Personally I thought the two games was fair and the appeal a bit daft. I can see why it might not be frivolous though if they've demonstrated similar cases receiving lower punishments. Depends what they actually presented I guess.

Matt Prior had one back in July, probably a few others too.

Knowles appeal unsuccessful, not a frivolous appeal though so still a two game ban.

More seriously, thanks for sharing. Love this type of thing.

Never mind the game, what was the disciplinary report like? Dave will be on with his freeze frames shortly.

Hopoate to centre inside Percival? Would be a big call to give Bennison the fullback gig in a Grand Final but a shame to drop him altogether. All moot if Hopoate doesn't make it of course.
