Re: Rugby League

Williams doesn't play for Wigan. I think it's a bit rich Wane saying that England are going for a clean sweep over Tonga. Let's face it, we should be thumping them and we have been very underwhelming in the first 2 tests. Not impressed. Did he not play 179 games for Wigwam mostly with Wane as his m...

Re: Rugby League

Totally disgusted but not at all shocked that Wane brings back Williams for the 3rd test.
Simply because he is skipper? Or Wigwam?
Mickey Lewis has been the best English player on the pitch over 2 games, so why drop the player of the series?

Re: Tommy Taylor

Why shouldn't T T return he's done nothing wrong is a good standard NLN keeper , I think he will be better for the break he has had. All this nonsense of TT not being good enough is absolute rubbish. You don't blame your keeper for a poor defence which is supposed to cover him. Yes TT has his fault...

Re: Rugby League

The problem is that relegation won't be decided on the pitch, it'll be decided by a stupid formula, absolutely bonkers. The people in charge of RL need to give their heads a shake. Every fan I know at every club has been saying that for years. I still think we should go back to 2 leagues of 16 team...

Re: Rugby League

This is crazy, basically the London Broncos are relegated from the Premiership before a ball is kicked. This can't be right or am I missing something?

Re: New striker

I'm impressed. Getting a player from a Championship I would say is quite a coup, even though he hasn't played in the first team. Well done Josh. :thumbup: Pete, Rossie thinks very highly of him. He went to Turkey with the first-team squad in pre-season rather than with the academy lads, and he is a...

Re: Questions from the Board Update

Far too harsh an assessment of Taylor in my view. It is all about opinions mate. I don't think I was being harsh on Taylor. We have a fragile defence that lacks confidence. That is totally obvious, and I simply do not think Taylor commands his box physically or verbally. That he is better than some...

Re: Questions from the Board Update

I can't agree re' Taylor. He may be a good "shot-stopper" but you will find them all over the country in Sunday league games. We need someone who will control the defence in front of him and who can command the box and give confidence with his catching etc. None of which Taylor does. If Gowling can ...

The people getting on Josh’s back are getting on my tits.

Re: Hannah returns to Boro

Tom Denton at Guiseley at the moment. If we want a big lump up front he's surely worth a look? The Tom Denton that got North Ferriby to the NLN title was some handful. Never a "footballer" but boy did he put himself about, and was he hard to get the ball off? If he can still do it I would still hav...

Re: Rugby League

The strength in depth is frightening and that is why we've won the Superleague. Obviously, having superstars like French & Field is a massive help,...

Re: Mid league boost the budget

Rumours flying about from Tamworth away last week would imply both Lawlor and TT have stuck in transfer requests.. Certainly in the case of TT the sooner he goes the better.

Well done to Wigan, HKR were poor and got a stuffing.
I do think Dragons will win the GF, but will be close, and no not attending.
Cas just signed Rowen Milnes on a 2 year deal. Fast becoming "KR ex Tigers" :lol:
A good lad. Hope he does well for you

No, we don't do another BTB. We already had a record one and there is only so much you can squeeze out of 1,000 fans. It's a tiny amount of people in reality. The only way to increase income is better commercial revenue and better gates. The people of Darlington never supported the club in large en...

Not convinced you were that good simply because we did not turn up. The game had gone in 15 minutes, and all 3 tries SHOULD have...
