Championship & L1 2022 mid-season pickups
Rockingchair replied to Gav Wilson's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Tbf he wasn’t very complementary of him or mason after they played for us against Leigh , I know Grix has his doubters but personally I like his ‘ don’t care who you are ‘ attitude. -

Just confirmed by Matt shaw that he’s off to Newcastle, I hope he’s off to live up there because whatever money Newcastle have offered above other clubs ll be offset by fuel costs . Like you say he’s done ok for fax without pulling up any trees , be interesting to see how many of the fax lads stay for next year . -

How do we furnish a promoted team?
Rockingchair replied to Harry Stottle's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
If we want to utilise our own local young talent has opposed to having to draft in overseas players on 1 year contracts , perhaps there should be a rule that super league clubs can’t have a player under 21 from outside their home town . -
I was going to break it down but haven’t the time but 28 hours travel and over a 1000 miles in 4 days plus 2 games of rugby is not condusive to the player welfare mantra.

Just had another look and London have to travel to Workington for a 12.30pm kick off on Thursday then York 3.00pm Sunday , madness .

Just looking at the championship fixture list on the our league app according to that the championship are expected to play Thursday the 2nd and Sunday the 5th of June , is this right ? Leigh have 3 games in 8 days ( appreciate there full time ) and fev 3 in 9 because of the 1895 cup , seems against player welfare with the majority been part time .

Some tough calls this week only definite is fev , fev by 40 plus newcastle are full time so the travel shouldn’t be a problem, but I think London might pip it by 2 then I will say barrow by 10 bradford vs York is a 50/50 so I’m going 18-18 Fax vs Sheffield will be another tight one but I think a week off for fax and sheff getting some knocks against Leigh will edge it to fax , fax by 8 widnes v Whitehaven another close one 24 -20 to Widnes.

IMG Strategic Partnership Announced
Rockingchair replied to gingerjon's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
I can’t believe people are still prattling on about expansion 26 years after superleagues birth , the eyes don’t lie look at the crowds then and now throughout the board not just at a couple of clubs . Plonking some players from Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lancashire in other areas isn’t expansion . Whether you like it or not rugby league is a regional sport and part of the culture. If you want to grow the sport stabilise your strengths then think about spreading further a field but from grassroots not taking players from the said regions and saying it’s expansion. Put the money into clubs like Wakefield, Featherstone, castleford , Bradford, Halifax, Widnes , barrow etc , what made rugby great was the atmosphere from rivalries and the physical nature of the sport , both have been removed and the sport is a sanitised version of itself . The super league is like the Scottish premier league which is what happens when self serving greed rules. Cut out the heart and the body will die , as we are seeing before our very eyes.
