John Drake Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD MAGAZINE - ISSUE 463 (NOV 19) In shops from Friday 25th Oct - Available online from Thursday 24th Oct Order by post (single issue or subscription) at www.totalrl.com/shop Scroll down to find out what's inside this month... The big prizes have been decided and St Helens claimed the biggest at Old Trafford, earning the title of Super League Champions and they take pride of place on our cover. We look back on a fantastic season finale inside. Although Salford missed out on Grand Final glory, they still have plenty to celebrate including their star man Jackson Hastings being named Man of Steel and he talks to us about his road to redemption at the Red Devils. The long-term future of the domestic game in the UK remains confused as a new TV deal looms with no certainty as to how much cash will be coming with it, and which clubs will get their hands on it. We try to make sense of what might happen next. We catch up for a chat with Wigan’s teenage sensation Morgan Smithies, and at the other end of the spectrum, long-serving Leigh Centurions stalwart Micky Higham takes your questions before hanging up his boots in our latest Quickfire Q & A. We select our Teams of the Year in Super League, Championship and League 1. See if you agree with our selections and if your favourite players have made the cut. Ashton Sims talks to us about a promotion-winning season at Toronto Wolfpack and what he’s planning to do next as he steps back from playing at the highest level. Featherstone Rovers chairman Mark Campbell looks back on a season which fell just short of promotion to Super League and explains why thee club will be back even stronger next year. Scott Naylor talks to us about why he’s leaving Oldham just as he has steered them to promotion from League 1 to the Championship. We have a club-by-club season-wrap on a hugely successful season for Women’s Rugby League, which saw Leeds Rhinos take home a league and cup double. At the grassroots, we travel to Oxfordshire to discover how the game is still being played there despite losing its flagship club from League 1 in mysterious circumstances. On the international scene, we have features on Japan, Poland, Wales, France and the World Cup 9s, plus a flavour of what Jamaica will bring to the 2021 World Cup.

Dunbar Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm sure Rugby League World would have been gutted if Holbrook had gone back to Australia without winning the big one. Imagine having a headline like 'Just In-credible' and not being able to use it (like George Costanza's 'Jerk Store' comeback). "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic?" — Sam Harris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denton Rovers RLFC Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Surprised you didn't go with the plain and quite accurate PLASTIC CHAMPIONS given the terrible officiating that cost Salford any chance of a fair shake., oh wait, no chance of you ever doing anything controversial or might upset a few, it'd probably shift a few more copies.

Denton Rovers RLFC Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Just now, TIWIT said: As Harry Carry, longtime baseball broadcaster, once said: "I never blame the players, or the manager, or the umpires, for our losing. I blame the other team, for scoring more runs than us." Pretty much true for all sports. Well he was talking nonsense, it's a combination of all factors and some weigh greater than others on any given event. You don't think officials can have a very large hand in how many 'runs' you score? We actually had that in the cricket WC during the summer when the officials apparently made an error in counting the runs for England v NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous comment. A team that finishes top of the league by 16 points and also wins a Grand Final 23-6 isn’t plastic anything. Your (as usual insulting) comments on the mag suggest you never actually read it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
