Number 16

I'm sorry but Warrington copyrighted 'is it ****** year' seventy years ago.

Disappointing if true, but imo absolutely understandable from a SH point of view. They see value in developing their own backyard and although this is Aus/NZ based I'm sure the participant islands will respond positively. Other than England or GB (England with another badge), what is there for the SH nations in Europe? Tbh, the RFL and SL haven't really given a flying 5h1t about even France over the years. We can't be bothered to play internationals across the Channel and Toulouse were set up to fail with the financial onus placed on them. And Wales were left high and dry with the extinction of the original Crusaders. Fortunately I subscribe to WatchNRL, so I'll be watching some great footie come October and November!!!

I calculate, based on personal experience of running a club, about thirty players per team, to allow for injuries, absences due to work/other etc, distances travelled etc. Meaning 20 to 25 teams in Serbia across OA, student, women's, age group teams.

I've just got back home from Bradford after a two day jaunt to watch Carlisle United play City. It was my first visit for about twenty years when I used to travel up so my daughter could play for Crofton Cougars. There's some wonderful Victorian era buildings and some good pubs - Corn Dolly, Sparrow and The Exchange. But overall ... Imo... First impressions, what a total poo hole! And I lived in Croydon! Bradfordians... sell your city to me as I was totally underwhelmed.

Came late to Sky's Seal Team and I am now approaching the end of S2. It's pretty good and the action scenes seem realistic... and yes, highly trained US/UK/Israeli elites can win firefights 100+ to nil. I'm bingeing and enjoying seeing the bad guys 'get it', but I might need to slow the pace of viewing!

Okay, poor choice of words, but I meant credit to him for assisting them. Why can't he offer support whilst remaining loyal to Australia?

Jeezus Effing Christ! Another bl@@dy insider. So a sport that in many respects is going down the pan once again decides that the best person for the job in the whole world was already, quite conveniently, employed by them! Rugby League is still about what tie you wear.

Cleary sure ain't my favourite player, but credit to him for this initiative. Sounds like they'd have a decent first thirteen. With the conflict likely to stretch to at least 2025 the Ukrainians presence at our WC could be big news.

The monkey is in the tree...

A works team Vs the exotic!

Wrong thread!!!!!!

He did well considering the length of time out of the game and now at a new club. He was right into organising and talking. I reckon he'll be good for Moses who is more off the cuff.

Matty Nable - former Carlisle Border Raider!

I said to my mate earlier, "I hit the jackpot before - two cherries and a plum". "Fruit machine?" He asked. "No", I said, "I was buying tomatoes".

No, it was Mick Seaby as Futtocks reminded me in his post. When he joined he was compared to a Skud missile. I recall him being nicknamed as such, but he didn't exactly hang around for long!

No, not Carroll. There was a useless Aussie import who was definitely nicknamed Skud, after the missile

Who was the 90s London Broncos prop laughing nicknamed Skud, after the missile. Damp squib, more like!

The ROOSTERS!!!! wtf! Why has he gone and made me dislike him?

So the Broncos have finally decided to do again what worked for them a decade and a half ago yet inexplicably ceased! They also need to reach out to Open Age and Masters.

Jellied eels.

So Beaumont's a fan of David Attenborough!

Agreed. I wasn't suggesting it should be the ref's responsibility. SL/RFL could rule on which kits where before the start of the season!!

So the referee may be comfortable with his ability to control a game between two teams in similar kits, but no importance is given to the paying customers experience and enjoyment of the game.

Is bl0wjob one word? Or is blow job correct? God, I hate writing Valentine's cards.

Plenty of the so-called 'has beens' are bringing a heap of experience and nous to the French game at the moment.
