Re: Ainsley pears

Warnock has tested positive for Covid 19 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Oh dear. Not good at his age. Hope he is OK. I know some don't like him because he is brash and in your face, but I would love more like him in the game as he has the balls to say it as he see's it and to hell with the kn...

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...

Re: Ainsley pears

God I wish we had had a chairman like Steve Gibson. Only if he was willing to spend a lot of his dosh. Otherwise much prefer to have the setup we have now. I don't mind the level we are at if we are self funding. My comment was more about his commitment since 1986. When did we last have a director/...

Re: Ainsley pears

Are Boro in financial trouble? They seem to have been selling left, right and centre for years now. They have just about the smallest squad in the Championship and even though some of the players they have cost decent money, they were funded by bigger sales anyway. They sold Gibson and Traore for a...

Yes you did. Well Wigan really do surprise me, coming off a thumping by Hull KR, it looked a nailed on further loss away at Catalan. But there you go what do I know about RL, as they blow away Catalan in a one sided game. Admittedly our first try shouldn't have been allowed with a forward pass, but...

Being a Rhino's fan it's tough to watch but Leeds aren't good enough and have a lot of players missing but Cas (who also have players missing) are unstoppable!

Feeling totally gutted to have lost to Saints. We were under the cosh for the first 20 much like last week but after that we at worst matched them. Saints have now given away 8 tries since the restart and we have scored 6 of them. Not bad for the "whipping boys" of the league. Yet again for the seco...

When you have read it click the link to the league table. It takes you to the fixture list and you have to press table again.

Here we go again. A 4 day turnaround is not great when you are facing the league leaders but it is what it is as Tony Smith keeps on saying. I am not sure the Wigwam pack is as mobile as Warry and Saints so it will be interesting to see how our throw the ball about game pans out against them. As usu...
