SL clubs look to reinstate Nigel Wood.
Superb Chops replied to The 4 of Us's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Hello Harry, I don’t do social media too - but can’t avoid digital promo for the RL tests. This is likely to have happened via looking at RL materials online or talking about the subject ‘in earshot of the smartphone’. The latter has happened to us after my wife raised the subject of going to Everton to watch the test. Pretty soon afterwards, our devices started bringing up the messages in online display adverts and my wife’s Facebook feed. For Google, or equivalent, read Pandora’s box opened. https://ads.google.com/intl/en/home/ -
Post-shoulder injury, Cust’s better Wigan performances came from hooker. He really can pass a ball from the floor for the forward to charge on to at speed. Good luck to Pryce. We need our good young talent to develop.

Salford financial issues(again…)
Superb Chops replied to LeytherRob's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
With regards to The Business Desk, the headline is click bait to accompany an article that seems to rely heavily on cut'n'pasting an announcement. It would have been good for the item to pose the suggested questions referenced in the header. This Desk piece doesn't have a leg to stand on otherwise. On Salford, they appear to have finance and security behind them now, if the owners' stated motivations are firm. That's great news for any RL side - but especially one that is so entertaining with committed support, having dug deep financially during urgent spells. Good luck Salford and enjoy what looks now to be calmer times off the field. -
Agree with all points generally. For Wigan, if he made a successful switch to being a second row (do I remember right he could fill in there?) then he would have more of a chance at this club. But that’s not really in the player’s best interests as we aren’t overburdened with proven homegrown centres in Super League. My hunch? Imagine Wire are favourites to retain him. This time, reportedly, with a more measured contract. Reason being Warrington are altogether different to the club King left temporarily.

The old grounds - Your memories
Superb Chops replied to daz39's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
A thrilling, intimidating enclosed place to visit when Wire had the ferocity of Boyd, Tamati and Roach, alongside the artistry of Woods, Holden and Blake. The adjoining Legends nightclub was a great Friday night too. As acceptable as the HJ is, Wilderspool was exciting, vibrant and scary to a then-young man. OP - great thread. Thanks both. -
Hull FC bought by Multi-Millionaire partnership
Superb Chops replied to MZH's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Millions if you don't keep on top of things. With £8m currently quoted for Wigan's stadium by a locally regarded poster, bottom message. https://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=649034 Worryingly, the Brick Stadium only opened 25 years ago. -
This^^, throw in your earlier mention of vectors and, please, I now just need you to mention Adobe Illustrator (or Affinity Designer), package or eps to shout 'House!' in my impromptu game of graphic design bingo. And on an RL message board too. Good work sir.

Horrible Little Scrote

Paul Bishop, but only at Warrington and not while at Saints, Halifax or wherever. Yes Wire fans, I particularly remember those five drop goals in a match. -
Beaumont and you all know he is correct.

Sorry if this has been said already, as I haven’t read all the posts in the thread. But, ahem, can a leopard change its sports?
