I like this one, it’s got a touch of the Borussia Dortmund about it, and the Monseraptors is the coolest name too.

To be fair British people are generally woeful at pronouncing Eastern European names too, why wouldn’t they be, there’s no reason why anyone here would know that for example, a Polish L with a line through it is pronounced W.

This looks like a decent website, though it’s all in Serbian (which I assume you’ll understand DDG!). Odd that some articles are in Cyrillic letters and others in Latin. https://ragbiliga.rs

Picking up on someone’s grammar is a bit unnecessary imho.

It would be great if there was a shop for all Serbian RL jerseys. I wouldn’t ask Partisan to change theirs though, it’s up to them what shirt they wear, and loads of people will think it’s great.

Partizan’s jerseys are always a disappointment, which is a shame as their football team’s shirts are usually top class. Red Star’s are nice though, it’s a shame Partizan can’t do something simpler, along those lines.

I love your optimism that an Aussie who plays football for Scotland can persuade loads of Scots to come to England for the RLWC, but it’s worth a go. Playing one of their games in Edinburgh might have been a good idea too.

Just don’t drive until it is out of your system then.

Ah I assumed it meant he was under the include at that time.

Driving coked up on the way to collect your kids is a bizarre thing to do, he must be seriously troubled. Obviously he has to face the legal consequences but I hope he can also sort himself out.

If Saints had a spare £100m to chuck at it I still wouldn’t advise them to try to crack Liverpool.

There’s been a few podcasts about that, details hazy in my mind but there was some sort of schism between the federation and clubs (classic rugby league) which halted things for a while. The recent disaster can’t have helped either.

I guess for kids and their families that’s a fair trek for a game though, and are most of your games North of Worksop too?

I use an app on my phone but it looks like they can be found here - Jan 26th https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/13-pro-am-community-rl-show-13-pro-am-CLXx-9ZHwi3/#episodes They make an interesting point that it’s not difficult to get kids in Nottingham along, but finding local teams to play against which is the issue.

Great news. Is there a men’s team in the Worksop area for these lads to progress onto when they get older @Northern Eel?

The Pro-Am Community RL show podcast a couple of weeks ago was all about them, worth a listen if you’re interested.

What do you suggest, RL being banned in Lebanon because their economy isn’t strong enough or their population big enough? Yes the national team is dominated by Aussies but there is a growing domestic set up too, and having a Lebanese diaspora playing professionally in Australia must help with the profile of that.

Do you think enough people in Glasgow would be interested? It’s not like the Union team get big crowds?

It puzzles me how Italy remain eligible.

I’ve often thought that the majority of Scotland is more culturally suited to RL than it is Union, I’d love to see the game grow there.

Have they got many people in the group?

No we don’t.

Won a World Cup and Serie A title pretty much singlehandedly, unheard of achievements. Imagine how good he could have been if he’d lived his life differently.

Maradona, the GOAT and a top bloke (see Maradona in Mexico on Netflix as an example). I’m not into mourning celebrity deaths but am really sad about this news.

Yes hopefully will help! I lived in Sheffield for four years in the 90s and there was definitely some interest in the Eagles Around the city then, when they were doing well. What happened next is one of the great tragedies of rugby league, should never have been allowed to happen.
