    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    he made a shed load of tackles, in fairness to him the whole pack was MIA for much of the game so in that sense he fits in perfectly

    Round 1: Dolphins vs South Sydney

    Dog shit. yes there are lots of people out, however the defensive effort was utter rubbish. Flegs and Gilbert were MIA until the last few mins. its fair to say the backs carried the whole today. Every team has an off day and hopefully this is ours out of the way and its upwards from here...

    Agreed there needs to be a certain responsibility on the ball carrier to protect themselves aswell.

    The sad state of UK RL

    The rfl is a total shambles let alone super league. league 1 was wound up last year forcing everyone into the championship to stop big gaps in home fixtures. guess what? there are still huge gaps in the fixtures. we have a game on 29th march and next home game is 7th of June. central funding a...

    2026 pre-season

    Doesn't matter though does it. Balance of blame on the tackling player. hia or broken jaw will see someone out of the game for a lot shorter time than a trashed knee. i'd call it fair. yellow for yellow matter closed keep it on the field job done.

    2026 pre-season

    I've watched and i'll be honest, i don't see much of a problem. its was a revenge hit for the hip drop early on. try and injure mine i'll injure you. good old fashioned enforcing.

    The sad state of UK RL

    theres no money in it as its not promoted. and its not promoted as there is no money in it. Murdoch put in loads for superleague it was huge in the late 90s but guess what he realised why am i paying millions for this when literally nobody else is interested. so he cut the money and got the same...

    Recruitment and retention

    I think Jez Litten could make it in the NRL the Hull KR Hooker. he played decently in the autumn and last night against the donkeys. Woolfe may be casting an eye hes in his late 20s so maybe only a 2-3 year stint but could be a great shout

    The sad state of UK RL

    Essentially its not very popular. its a regional game to the north of England with basically all the teams between liverpool and hull along the M62 motorway. called the M62 corridor. The teams themselves don't want to expand they want to keep it local as such no national papers carry it as its...

    The sad state of UK RL

    Thing is Bradford is quite a large town where football is the main game among many. (although bradford city are crap) if the RL team dies bradford is lost and you only have Keighley as an outpost. Manchester was already lost so they were not bothered about Salford. Wigan/Saints/Warrington all...

    Whats the biggest blowout score line you've seen in person

    thats not 'funding' that was a 16m covid loan so the league didn't go broke when all the fans were banned from attending games. Union got one too. They repayments are due shortly. English union premiership clubs are massively up shit creek over it and a few look like they could go under

    The sad state of UK RL

    So i've decided to make my own thread so we can all laugh at the joke of the RFL. On top of the previously mentioned Featherstone, Salford and Halifax collapses this last year. Barrow have today put out essentially a collection bucket asking the wider RL community to riase 5k (yes just five...

    Whats the biggest blowout score line you've seen in person

    The big problem is the structure. all clubs have an equal vote. so anyone hoping to change anything has to get almost unanimous agreement and the clubs will not vote for anything that is not in their immediate interest. Toronto being a classic example. to bring Toronto back in after covid would...

    Whats the biggest blowout score line you've seen in person

    Football rules all here. Annoyingly for me as i hate the bloody game. Its cost pure and simple, if you drive you can't drink, if you don't drive there is shocking public transport especially between yorkshire/lancashire. so unless you can put in a good home crowd you get negligable travelling...
