  1. Didn’t know Forty 20 was still going! Can you get it from the shops? I miss the days of buying RL World and Forty 20 in the shops in Liverpool City Centre. Used to use the rest of my time there hiding /rearranging the Union magazines.
  2. Louie McCarthy Scarsbrook has retired, he was the biggest name we had. As Fear the Vee said, I would assume this is the Tommy Makinson rumour.
  3. Great to see and well done to all involved.
  4. Great watch. Not sure if all clubs are doing this but they should be. Good luck to all involved at York.
  5. Would Lee Jackson miss out time wise? I thought he was a terrific 9 back in the day and most of his career in Australia would predate the ‘NRL’ but would he just scrape in with his last season down under?
  6. Wigan’s squad already looked strong, they are champions after all, but their recruitment looks great to me. Will be a struggle for anyone to knock them off their perch next year.
  7. Don’t let Wigan know…they’ll be after him next to shore up their lack of depth at prop
  8. Can’t speak for everyone of course but my family and I have taken loads of scousers and people from Wirral over 20 odd years to watch Saints or England (at Anfield even) and I am certain that they identify with Saints and St Helens only as a RL team- some have gone on to be season ticket holders and I don’t believe any one of them would support a Liverpool Saints Team. In fact a few are Evertonians and I know they would give up season tickets at the Rugby rather than watch a team with Liverpool in the title.
  9. I live in Huyton, they used to have a Rugby League team here some time ago. We are very near to St Helens, Widnes and Warrington. My son came home one day to say they had been playing rugby in school, happy I asked him who ran the session - Liverpool FC Not Liverpool’s fault maybe but depressing.
  10. Does anyone know if Sky Sports Mix has subtitles? can’t understand JJB
  11. They are all worthy contenders. Willie Peters deserves an honourable mention as does Rohan Smith - plenty of appreciation across the league for Rohan’s work this year.
  12. He didn’t milk it but he did cry to the referee to ensure it was looked at. Nothing to be proud of.
  13. Bevan French made more contact with the referee before than the Leigh player made with him for the ‘no try’
  14. Saw that. Foolish. Be daft if he gets a ban for that.
  15. Leigh deserved that. Love watching Ipape. Bill Arthur with his usual wisdom, writing Leigh off
  16. I wasn’t arguing. I like the idea of heritage shirts but would prefer the Blue and White vertical stripes.
  17. Fascinating result in the context of the race for the shield and play off positions. I think Catalans have 3 away matches and a home match against Leeds, who can be awful or awfully good depending on the week. I actually fancied Wigan to win although not a chance did I think that they’d run up that score. This could be a one off, virus impacted, for Catalans but very interesting to see the impact psychologically. And let’s not take anything away from Wigan, hell of a result in Perpignan, both Wigan and Saints are running in to much better form and results lately….is it at the right time?
  18. Watched the game late last night on catch up after avoiding the score, not going to trawl through all of the comments on here but most of what I have read I can only agree with….Wow, what a great game! Sure there were errors but it’s a final at Wembley! I thought SKD was terrific and would have got the Lance Todd if he had been on the winning side but can’t argue with Lam getting it. A Golden Point CC final win after that tense finish in normal time! I hope someone is filming Leigh’s journey because if this was a movie then people would say it was far fetched! It’s an incredible story anyway but Imagine if they go on and take out the GF as well now! Hope all the Leigh fans are still bouncing for weeks and months to come. Made up for them. Commiserations to KR, they were part of a wonderful final and they to look to be building well. What a great advert for the game.
  19. Not been this interested in or enthused by a final (not involving my team) in a long while. I have a soft spot for Leigh as my late Uncle coached there but I think their story is that brilliant anyway that it would incredible to see it topped off with silverware, that said I like how Hull KR have slowly and quietly built the club up on and off the field. I guess there could be a lot of fans, particularly Leigh going down to their first Wembley final and I hope both sets of fans enjoy the magic of Challenge Cup final day. Honestly I would love to see Leigh win but I would also be happy enough with Hull KR lifting the trophy, whatever happens I hope for a great match and occasion.
