Re: Update Required?

Talking of updated info, I have just been watching the Andrew Marr politics show on TV where he was interviewing Oliver Dowden, the Minister who has responsibility for Sport. He was questioned about the sports sector, and football in particular, being painted into a corner by the new restrictions, ...

Re: Update Required?

All these comments about are WE ready can WE stream, etc, etc,etc. and the club passing comments and info on to the fans, is, in my opinion, being a tad short sighted.

Re: Rugby League

I agree there is a chasm between the top4 & the rest, but as Hull KR proved on there day any side is capable of beating any other side. Wigan showed a lot of character to overcome a very resourceful Wakefield. But the scheduling of us playing St Helens on Tuesday & then Leeds in the semi final next...

The game had a distinctly end of season game, even though it isn't the end of the season quite yet. Well, having played nothing but the top 4 sides since the restart KR now have a run or games...

Re: Rugby League

Watched some of Hull KR's game against Leeds. Thought you were unlucky with the first Leeds try, as it looked to me like your player had the ball stripped by the Leeds player, in the lead up to the try. After that Hull KR just seemed to capitulate. You shared the second half, but given the damage t...

Sad to see the way Simon Woolford has been treated by Udders. Another "mutual" decision. As anyone who reads this board often knows I have believed that they were the poorest side in SL for the last 3 seasons. I think he worked wonders just to keep them floating.

Re: impact on ground capacity

I can't see any point whatever in worrying about the arena contract. It was made pretty clear the 2 years was so we do not have to re-apply every few weeks and also we were told the contract is for us to play there, "for as long as needed during that period". Thus, if we don't use it at all there is...
