This is a wild guess, but have you been watching Channel 4 in the last 90 minutes? 1 Quote "Men will be proud to say 'I am a European'.

Hela Wigmen 523 Report post Posted February 14 He’s criminally underused by the game and his “work” of promoting the game is off his own bat. As a player, a famous face, someone who talks well and (possibly) someone who knows what they’re talking about when talking up the game (I can’t say I’ve heard any of his opinions on Super League/NRL/the International game), he should be paid to be out there talking about Rugby League and all of its forms. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why? He does it anyway and makes plenty of money from being a very talented entertainer. As for being 'criminally underused', he seems to show up every week doing something for RL and long may it continue. But do we really want him on so often that we get sick of him? I remember when we used to say we underused George Riley. Quote I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

JohnM 6,668 Report post Posted February 15 Just listened to an episode of "Uncle Mort's North Country" and he mentioned Hunslet. Val McDermid in "The Torment of Others " mentions someone wearing a Leeds Rhinos shirt (a no good deadbeat , though) Candidates for Vice Presidents?
