Ultimately regardless of any rivalries it’s beneficial for all clubs to be strong in championship, the img malarkey is just a re hash of the old licensing debacle and some clubs may go to the wall , in any normal sport Featherstone would have been automatically promoted as champions with the other clubs playing in a playoff for the remaining promotion spot . I’m completely disinterested in superleague so much so at Wembley last year didn’t even watch the challenge cup with any interest whatsoever .
I remember as a younger man being barred from bar centro by dalli whiley ( 1998 World Cup ) for wearing an England shirt ( that was a stupid rule too ) not been back in since . Same rule applies to super league .

Is there any place that you haven’t been barred from?
Even if the answer is “yes” just be patient and give it time.

Back on all the forums now thanks to a new router and nord vpn , multiple public ip etc . Can’t remember the moderators name on total rl but he was a womble along with hoddie ( I know you stalk me hoddie so when you read this just a quick reminder your a womble as well ) and anyone who knows dalli will know he’s a womble too , so my conscience is clear lol!

Just been watching the opening 20 mins of carcassone vs albi the elite French championship final , decent prop is clement Boyer , think he’ll go well .

Thought I recognised the name, just googled him and he played 2 matches for us back in 2015.

Worryingly I can’t see the likes of jouffret n Keyes sticking round if we don’t pull our finger out , with lots of contracts ending this season might just end up with Brandon Douglas’ thumb .

He will be match fit as well as the final wasn’t that long ago , high work rate and carries strong , his first stint is about 30 mins .

I'm pretty certain Wiki has this wrong, he played more than 2 games for us the season that he were with us. I remember him as a regular in the line up and probably around the time we last had a pack that was really feared with Tangata, Cahalane, Richard Moore, and Dane Manning.

Edit: Decided to have a look on google and first 2 games I picked out he played in........then can't find him in others

Old age memory playing tricks and maybe he did but ive checked games a couple either side and hes not in the line up.

At least the BoD / club are trying to respond to our current League position but when finances are already tight if your having to spend more can only be adding extra pressure.

Be interesting to know how the books are balancing playing personnel wise when you weigh up the difference from between all the outgoing / incomings from this years original starting squad.

We started on a bigger budget even with a smaller squad and if they are having to spend more to fend off the threat of relegation it would be more like a avoiding doom and bust instead of the usual boom and bust scenario.

Jouffret wants to return home after this season.

I wonder if that’s why Maxime Rostang has been training with us , as his replacement

If that's true would be really disappointed- think he's got better and better since he joined us and has probably been our most consistent player over last couple of seasons, one of the few who has the ability and pace to change a game.
