This may simply be a legal tactic to dodge their bills. If the legal entity which operates the London Broncos goes bankrupt they can sell the Broncos to their brother-in-law wfor $10 and he can start up again without any of the debt. Either way the Broncos were dead men walking. SL will...

Wire have a very old team. If they don't move a few this year, they face having half the team retire next year. They can use Ratchford at FB next year but they will have problems when Briers (35) Michael Monaghan (33) and Mickey Higham (33) go. If they don't win the GF this year I think they...

This game was so bad that Eurosportz had a replay scheduled but didn't bother - they showed a quarter-final of the Uzbek Yak Punching League instead.

I'd love to see t'black'n'whites win this but I can only see the Pies lifting the silverware. I took Charnley for First Try Scorer.

Paul Vautin captained AUS, Qld and a grand final winning Manly team but spent a lot of his final year in Reserve Grade at Easts. I'm pretty sure he only played in the top grade for the last game of the year off the bench because Easts had missed the Finals. To be fair to Vautin, at least he...

Keiron Cunningham retired last year. James Roby will be the hooker and usually plays 80 minutes.They won't be playing all those big forwards. They'll probably use O'Loghlin at 13, and Lee Mossop at 8 with George Burgess on the bench. Their big problems are the halves and centres. Sinfield will...

I know people keep saying he's not able to play "his natural game," but his game should be to do whatever the team needs him to do. If he doesn't accept that, or if he can't do it, he shouldn't be in the team. As for what he's done for the team, we are a mid-table team who've made the finals 3...

Can you get Premier Sports in France? I know it's available in Spain. They have 6 NRL games/week.

They still haven't decided who the UK carrier is yet.

"Star?"

I would love to see us dump Tuqiri and pay Folau $400K. The issue here isn't how much he is worth. The issue is why the salary cap auditor applies an "assessed value" to any contract if the player is happy to take less on a back-ended deal.

I think I might have worked it out: perhaps the Eels submitted a deal to Schubert which contained various 3rd Party deals and other benefits but only 110K in cash and felt that the deal should be legitimate in terms of salary cap rules. Perhaps Schubert has decided that some of the benefits or...

Apparently the Eels have $110K left on their salary cap but Cap Auditor Ian Schubert has assessed him at $400K. Does anyone know why this matters? Why can't the Eels just pay him $100K this year and $700K next year? We've had back-ended contracts before. If the Eels want him that bad surely they...

I think Ambler has signed with Halifax, who aren't even in Super League. Honestly, we would be better off signing random posters off this forum.

Potter didn't have much to work with at Bradford and the players he had at Stains would all be staying there since they've lost Graham and now Flannery has retired. There are some good young props: Chris Hill and Tyrone McCarthy from Wire, Liam Watts from KR. Anthony Mullaly from Widnes, who...

The Lance Todd goes to the MOM in the Challenge Cup final. The MOM in the SL GF gets the Harry Sunderland Trophy.

There's a repeat Sunday 8.30pm on Eurosports. I hope Wire win because it doesn't help SL to have the same clubs winning every year. Since SL started in 1996 only 4 teams have won a GF and only 5 have even contested the GF. Warrington will be the 6th. Is it any wonder that clubs like Salford and...

Well I certainly got it wrong. This weekend Leeds beat Wigan 13-12 after leading 11-0 at half time. In the other game, Warrington 36 beat St Helens 18 after trailing 14-12 at the break. At least they saved Saints from losing their 6th consecutive GF. Leeds, who finished 5th on the ladder ill now...

It's a standing joke in SL that everybody is signing for Hull FC. Except Billy Slater. On one English forum one of the Black'n'Whites deluded fans explained that, after McKinnon left mid-season, they had some other guy coming in next year so there wouldn't be any point in signing Slater?!?!?!?!?!?
