"the most significant and wide-ranging commercial partnership in the sport’s history" Bring back John Player
Joking aside, it is great to have sponsorship for wheelchair, PDRL etc. but without the three men's leagues, what will we have?

"I think it’s sometimes called ‘democracy’" Thought, looking at several counties (don't BRIC it) that this was unfashionable now

Like another headline in the link: SL side suffers "seismic injury blow"!!!! Listen here, journalists, we agree it is bad for them but on that level, we have has tsunamis every season.

Rowles may not want him to go but, we are a business, and any figure like that would make you think about selling. Sorry, but there are bills there that will need paying. If we use (say) 40k to bring another good forward from the Championship, we'd be purring.

Aye but those who know how Sale treated Stockport will worry.
As normal, uncertainty breeds concern and hypothesis. Do Wigan and Saints fans suffer from high blood pressure.

RUTB makes good points. What many spectators do not realise is what makes a pass forward: "Direction of Pass 1. The direction of a pass is relative to the player making it and not to the actual path relative to the ground. A player running towards his opponents’ goal line may throw the ball towards a colleague who is behind him but because of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to the ground. This is not a forward pass as the thrower has not passed the ball forward in relation to himself. This is particularly noticeable when a running player makes a high, lobbed pass." Note the "relative to the player making it" OUCH

"the assistant ref": touch judges are not assistant refs Sorry but it annoys. I heard a supporter of many years (decades really) shout at the touch judge for not flagging an off-side! Read the laws.
To many pointers above: it is said we're a hard pitch team. Let's see.

Leeds benefits as it's a large city with really two teams: Leeds United and Leeds Rhinos. The competition against Rugby League in Wigan and St Helens is not there: Wigan have "Latics" but they're not United or City. There also seems to be a hostility between the two codes. I'm not bemoaning the efforts but it is going to be an uphill struggle.
It's not prehistory when there were 4 decent sides in the area: Salford, Swinton, Hornets and Oldham. Now: one. (I'm leaving Warrington out)

In work, they moved the team I am into another room. Quite a few there knew me and I was introduced to the newer colleagues who didn't. It was frequently pointed out my Salfordian allegiance. "an icon of the City": every time they answered they recognised the stadium and said they were impressed by it when going over the bridge on the motorway.
