Featherstone's former Great Britain winger Gareth Raynor announces his retirement at the age of 34. Raynor, who played just two Championship matches for Rovers, says: "I've been used to playing at a higher level all my career." Featherstone coach Daryl Powell said: "It's obviously disappointing that Gareth has decided to retire but it's best for both parties if he's not able to fully motivate himself for playing Championship rugby."


Obviously the Championship is not good enough for him ......

It was the Rams attendance that made me think about this - I wanted to see how we'd fared through the season so far.

I can't see anything on Sky Sports?

It's not just us - nothing in the Championship recorded that I can see.

Championship home attendances so far:

v Hunslet 2,052
v Keighley 2,378
v Leigh 2,062
v Dewsbury 2,377

Average 2,217

Thanks! Shows how Thursday night games scupper us.

Not sure of anything now, but if we want to tick the 2,500 average attendance, we'll need another "Halifax Show" to help us out. Fax vs Leigh later in the season (given it's looking like Fax, Fev and Leigh for the top spots at the mo' - yes, this can change!) would have resulted in a much higher attendance (on a sunny Sunday afternoon).

Btw, we can knock the round ball game as much as we like, but a consistent circa 15,000 crowd for Huddersfield Town in Div 1 is pretty impressive...

Well there is an element of that in there and I will give and take points scoring across the fora as it's intended - with light heartedness and a smirk on me face!

But to suggest I relish in Morro's injury or any other player who pulls on a RL shirt for our entertainment is quite daft... I don't relish owt of the sort and in that manner you did indeed get my post wholly wrong. No mind. All cool.
