I received my members First email at 2pm this afternoon and I must say, I chortled. The main news is we have signed the Kiwi ladies captain to our NRLW side. Meh. Just under that it has a picture of X with the caption "Win His Jersey" "2025 Members Survey - Enter Now" Now, if you were the...

Article has been corrected.......unfortunately we were not suffering a collective delusion

I found a similar incident to prettyboy's one yesterday in the archives I had completely forgot about it, probably because it didn't happen in a semi final :D Still think Walsh should have been sent off but it seems that tripping and headbutts these day are ok and only worthy of a fine.

Disaster for the Bengals: Burrow out for 3 months with turf toe. Mahomes has his first ever 0-2 start to a season. How sad :D
