    If I bought in the week of the game £90 is about right. If I buy. Ow for the end of Feb they are about 45. However that only gets me to Euston from Coventry. The full trip is home to cov station, train to Euston, tube tooting bus from tooting to the ground. It's about 2hrs 40 each way

    How bad will the Wests lose this week. (renamed)

    There's a lot to be said for loyalty but the fact the players have the power and the board are too busy fighting amongst themselves to care is a problem

    Benji is a weird one, he's not really done much but when you consider what hes working with its actually quite impressive to get the players to turn up on time with the same kit to play in.

    Recruitment and retention

    Uk average wage is about £36k that includes all the city toffs on millions and part timers. minimum wage is £25k FT. sad thing is £58k will put you in the top 10% of earners so 90% of the country are on £1100 a week or less (before tax). My mortgage is pretty good at £573 a month but i'm in the...

    Well this team certainly is the gift that keeps on giving. You really have to feel for the fans. i mean if you have followed them for years and still keep forking out your cash to follow them you truly must be counted amongst the elite sports fans in the world.

    just out of curiousity how much is a season ticket? and how much is a walk up ticket on the day? how does that relate to the minimum wage? Leeds for example charged(2025) £220 for a standing ticket on the west terrace in goal looking up the field. £275 for a seat and if you want south stand...

    Hi, did you go to the Everton game? I did Wembley but couldn't get tickets for this one. Sadly I'm out next sat night so will be watching on TV while getting ready. I thought Knowles did well and dropping Welsby was a great decision. Overall i thought England threw the kitchen sink in the first...

    Agreed. a lot of money to spend and long way to travel to at best warm the bench and at worst play in Q cup

    Even with a full development system it will take the best part of 10 years to bear fruit for as you correctly say all the top players will have been signed by the donkeys. I also suspect that if they donkeys know what they are doing (which i highly suspect they do) they will have hoovered up...

    Not really as they would be carded for it. it seems the judiciary is too scared to make an on field decision as it will impact the 'spectacle' how often is someone given a ban but wasn't sin binned or worse. I've never believed anyone should be banned for future games unless they were sent from...

    Internationals 2025

    I've come to the conclusion that REP games should sit outside of the standard judiciary setting. too many players are scared to go all in for fear of a ban carrying over either into rep games or from rep games to club games. Internation RL should be all out and players shouldn't be holding back...

    Morning all, just dropping into show face, i'm just getting ready to head to wembley. its looking like sizzlig 10 c and 10% chance of rain. I'm conflicted on who to support, on the one hand Australia are like the pantomine villans of world RL but as a Wales ruby league fan its anyone but the...

    Schneider is a bad move, the guy is training fodder at best, Ok hes a drop goal specialist so perhaps he will be useful for 2mins in OT a few times per season. Keely agreed, maybe leave him in the oven for a few season has potential but is way off it. Cobbo i can see taking a big money tax...
