Worky 50 Report post Posted February 24, 2019 Loving the League 1 Table after 2 rounds. I'm due to meet up with some former colleagues from my days in the Midlands for Bears v Town on 17th March. They've been to this fixture before but aren't otherwise RL fans. From a purely selfish - helping me keep in contact with friends point of view - it'd be great if this was the end of season position with Town up and Bears following us into the Championship. So Go Town and Go Bears (except on the 17th March and 16th June. Feel free to have an off day for those two fixtures). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dead man inc 64 Report post Posted February 24, 2019 From Twitter...7 former and current Broncos in today's Coventry winning team: Sam, James, Rob, Kam PP, Ollie, Ben Gray & Jacob Jones... Kudos to the Broncos academy production line - really pleasing to see southern players who are staying in the game even if they don’t quite make it with the Broncos. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A real shame, the people of Coventry should be getting behind their team! Wow I bet he’s a right bundle of laughs. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love that he aparently walked the length of the whole main stand and accurately counted 123 people. Instead of using the turnstiles the Bears will need to consider using him from now on to work out their attendances.

Kenilworth Tiger 1,486 Report post Posted February 25, 2019 16 hours ago, Moscow01 said: Coventry beat Newcastle in what must be one of the biggest shocks in recent rugby league history! Newcastle don’t seem like they want to defend at all, hopeless v Doncaster and even worse today. SO you weren't at the game but feel able to comment on Newcastle's defence and the Bears attendance - unreal 1 Quote Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in. I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

I didn't pass comment - just posted the link as it was erroneously stated,earlier in the thread,that Thunder did not have a dual reg. I don't have any thoughts on that,where the dual reg is with one club,or the situation with Coventry,where they now dual reg with 2 clubs,Broncos and York. I'm more interested in West Wales Raiders moulding their new players,added to the squad,into a winning side. I am guided by my friends at York City Knights who went to the time and trouble to remind me,what I already knew,that it is all in the rules/guidelines with regard to dual reg.

Jordan Robinson was quoted in the article you linked saying "We’ve got a fantastic dual-registration agreement with Wakefield and we’re going to utilise it" yet so far that utilisation has been to have Zero dual reg players in the first 2 rounds. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
