They were selling Hot Cross Buns in the Sainsbury's I went in last week.

So the £6/7m (depending on how you round it from the AUD value) is buying SLCom, no wait, it is paying for 4 games for DAZN, no wait, it is paying for marketing and development costs. It appears to be magic money that pays for everything (and nothing) depending on what angle you look at it from. Also Sky reportedly wanted 2 matches a week, so is that why they said no to the to the NRL, because they want them to have 3?

You must have the same ignore list as me!

Hasn't he previously denied the charge of being a journalist? Based on the post you are quoting, troll would be a more appropriate moniker.

Yeah, teams in Super League struggle to put in back to back quality performances, but given the number of poor teams in the league it doesn't often come up!

The naming of "expansion" teams seems to me to show that these teams are developed from the outside and not locally driven. Wales, London, Midlands, Cornwall etc. It reminds me of when Leeds Tykes became Yorkshire Carnegie for a while,as if naming the team after a region suddenly increases the fan base, but for me it just makes it even more of an outsider moving in to someone else's area with no understanding of what ties sports teams to communities.

Half funding was a one off, if they stay next year who can say if they get a full share, a half share or no share at all.

Difficult for mr to tell the difference between the leaked BS and the made up to put on the internet BS, but I'd assumed it was the idea that DAZN got the whole lot then sold the best bits to Sky. Why would Sky want to add a middle man to the deal, and if there was one why would they pay the same to DAZN that they would pay direct?

Bonkers! So they want to spend some TV companies money, that doesn't want to spend that much to buy our rights directly (or that our negotiation team have ruled out) to buy an essentially controlling stake in a key aspect of our income generation. From the geniuses that have hamstrung the development of the international we have a glorious vision of the future. "We can do better" introduced us to the last few failed leaders, and now they want to pay us in table scraps to be the next failure off the rank.

As long as the selectors also judge the alternatives on their worst performances I think he will still be fine, far too many watch him hoping to see him fail.

Leeds let themselves down , it was always going to be tough but they got in the right place to win and didn't get over the line, a few of the players going off the field knowing they were below the expected standard tonight,

Going to be a really difficult 2nd half for Leeds, quite a fe wplayers out of position making defending more difficult, needs another big performance if they are going to avoid defeat.

It is a transfer announcement.

Dave Woods plugging the half time show again, got tired of that last week.

Another 3/4 injury last week so Leeds are changing the team again, bench a little thin too so i think they need to start well. Leeds have won every home game this season, but also lost every game against teams from Wigan borough, so hopefully its the latter that changes.
