I did watch the game and enjoyed it. But like a lot of us I fear we don't have enough fans to keep it going as it is ....therefore like lots of others I fret about how we can get more fans / people interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheVee Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Cancelling sport if a 96 year old dies? Minute's silence and a black armband on, play the national anthem and crack on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalfordSlim Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 If Hudds want to show their respect they should drop any players who have royal connections in their surnames (McQueen/ T King). NB. This rule should only apply to surnames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiner Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well this is where the season ends for the Rhinos. If you had said we would be in the play offs after Rd6 I would be amazed. A combination of injuries and very stupid suspensions haven't helped. Catalans by 10 and good luck to the rest of the teams battling it out, may the best team win (no controversial decisions).

ATLANTISMAN Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Arrived back in Spain early on last night off to the Dragons later (Will post a video over the weekend) from what i have heard could be close to a full house. Will be interesting to see how the play off crowds hold up in England. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheVee Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 20 hours ago, Loiner said: Not just any 96yr old. Well obviously. My point is that this is not an out of the blue tragedy befalling somebody, it is an inevitable and well understood event that the Queen has sadly died in her old age of natural causes. I am not trying to be disrespectful - I have already and will continue to pay my respects and should have chosen my words better / more clearly. I'm also allowed to have a view on what I see as appropriate and proportionate in terms of that respect in the circumstances. Minute's silence and national anthem at all sporting events makes sense and is a way for people to get on with their lives whilst paying respect together. Quite why people think things like deferring racing for a day is somehow respectful is beyond me. How arbitrary do random "respectful" actions need to get before you are allowed to say hang on, this doesn't actually make sense or are we all just blindly trying to "out-respect" each other? Is it not possible to be respectful without stopping aspects of people's lives (only the enjoyable ones mind, nobody is telling me I can't go to work, just that I can't watch football etc - which by the way, is work for some people). Anyway, maybe I'm the wrong side of the fence on this one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
