On Corey Hall, enough time has passed to post this I think; the club let him go in a rush because they believed he was one head-knock away from a serious, potentially career-ending situation.
I don't know where they took that opinion from, but they wanted him off the books quick and HKR popped up with an offer.
My cynical friend suggests the rumour was started by someone called Heal Nudgell.

In 2023, of the recognised goal kickers (players who kicked 30 or more goals in the season), Ratchford had the highest percentage at 86% with Harry Smith and Tommy Makinson at the bottom of the list at 65% and 63% respectively. If Smith had matched Ratchfords record then he would have landed an additional 31 goals for the season (league, cup and play-offs).
That's an average of 2 points per game.

It was suggested yesterday on Nrl360 that Demetrious' time as head coach could be short lived with Wayne Bennett taking over and big Sam as his protege, so even if he does 2 years, will he stay or go.
I hope a british RL star doesn't state 'homesick' for his return, IF there is one.
For me, he's a genuine guy so I think we'll get an honest decision, whatever happens.

Castleford who were 13th in super league scores, appealed & lost out on appeal but only on wrong financial details presented, but they have won an appolagy from IMG for a wrong item they judged.
That item was / is a post code ( a wfd post code ) which has issues sharing catchment with Trinity.
So they have promised to correct this - thus ing said a " massive change in points awarded will be made.
This may well affect us in our points etc.

Who was the annoying woman who constantly requested they not kick the ball. It reminded me of the teacher who would shout “don’t you know the rules referee”.
I know not a lot can be done but the coverage picks up the away supporters who are located directly below the gantry.

It’s hard when you’re juggling cash all the time and suck’s your motivation
It’s also effecting his ability to manage the Head Coaches !!!
Back to Thompson I wonder if it's worth playing him on Friday, the slap on the wrist is on his record now and it'll be gutting if he misses GF with a one match ban over a grade A/B offence

If you compare Green and Max Wood currently, the latter looks at home as an SL player already, the former does not.
That could change - especially as he's a forward - but he's not there currently.

Tough opener away at St Helen's brought a 60-0 defeat but that is an improvement on last years similar fixture.
The home CC campaign starts this Sunday (24th March) against Warrington who we also played in the competition last last year.
Another very tough game but I imagine progress from last season will again be the aim.
KO is 3.30pm at Rosslyn Park.
The Women's Southern Championship will not get underway until 25th May.

I've not see anything that says to me Okunbor is better than a standard SL backrower, someone like Longstaff, Oliver Holmes etc, both who have been available to sign in the last year or so.
I'd be offering a way out of his contract early if he isn't happy.
If we could offload Carlos amd him and bring in a 7 and a better quality backrower, but this isn't going to happen, as the club has no ambition.

Just because we need them in order to play the game (just like we need the others to play/finance it), doesn't excuse the fact that we really need GOOD ones - After all, they're supposed to be professionals.
In recent years, it just feels as though they've been forced to rush through a good number of poorly prepared referees, just... Читать дальше...
