  1. The sport would be insane to take any NRL ‘offer’ that gives them control before asking the hypothetical question to Sky. Sky have screwed us on the basis of supply and demand, the tables have turned and we need to use that now - like any business would and as the NRL appear to be doing. The NRL takeover risks splitting our minority sport, something more palatable when weak but less so armed with a deal that allows the cash needed to sustain and advance the sport.
  2. Cant call this one, so many variables with injuries
  3. Fixtures play a huge role Wigan ( great to see those numbers btw) benefited from Saints and Leigh games at home, Leigh have only had Wire as an ‘attractive’ fixture and have had little away support from Hudds/wakey/Cats as the other 3 home games. Hull have had the derby etc SL and RL is definitely on the up again - and will continue to rise after what will be a record Ashes series on free to air but please import Aussie commentators for it All this puts us in a good place to negotiate a tv deal NOW using the NRL rumours/threats to drive the deal back to where it should be or lose it.
  4. I have never met a club in any sport that doesn’t put itself first - I can hear all the Man U fans saying how great it is for the comp that they are in a mess
  5. Packs sorted although Halton is a big miss - imagine the CCSF has a big role to play in selection for both teams. Not concerned with Hodgson at FB but desperately need Niu back
  6. Isn’t that the script of the “victim” looking for excuses rather than dealing with reality
  7. Still lives in WF area with kids, was originally a 2 year gig that was extended - did a great job with full financial support and a coach with pull. Great bloke and family who I wish health and happiness to. Thanks Chris for being part of the journey
  8. TW was madness what was SBWs contract alone, plus Leutele when in Champ The whole TW process was a mess should have had a series of friendlies then straight into SL playing out of the soccer ground that has under pitch heating for early season, with 2 week blocks
  9. The sport cannot be seen supporting tax avoidance as it would then affect all clubs and make it simple for owners to avoid paying tax ie don’t pay it enter pre pack and carry on almost as normal saving millions. Starting again in L1 should be the only option imo
  10. That would send a great signal to sponsors HMRC and anyone any RL club buys from
  11. Have u both seen the refs poop themselves when at KR
  12. Wigan and HKR play the same game, it relies on slow the ptb, short 10m, move off ptb, find the floor quick and suck teams in. Opposition must do the same if allowed or simply get rolled. Leigh matched the tactics G1 with a full pack out
  13. Big fast Muvver who can kick - mate of Big Joes who I picked up earlier, he has told me he's playing Saturday and he's too big to argue with.
  14. Hodgson has started FB this season and you don’t need a major shuffle in key positions so GoB at 6. Towse and Charnley wings with McIntosh/Brand centres.
  15. So does it only include 2007 or later born players in Aus? Also for our KR fan the BIG CLUB Academies often have the older lads in the reserves, which can impact Academy results
  16. The club are very good in this regard. There were a few tears in a lot of eyes when this was going on
  17. My take is something like this. Land valued at say £50m, Salford debts say £5m - land sold for £45m, Salford debts paid off with other £5m. Council gets cash in bank and removes the weight off their backs known as SRDrlfc. Salford get relegated, and the fan base isnt committed in sufficient numbers to remain FT and the owners have no interest to put any more in - Salford need new ownership that is prepared to put in £1m year 1 and not much less should they find a way back to SL
  18. Weird game, just back from boozer so had a fill, awful ref and goes to show how much they control l the spectacle we pay for
  19. Once saw a player banned for 12 games for less than Lisone did to that kid in distress. No need and could have been very dangerous
