Thanks for all the comments.

We originally launched League Express because of the lack of coverage in the national newspapers on Monday mornings.

Since then our audience is very much Monday orientated. All our market research suggests that to come out on any other day would lose readers. In fact I get a lot of emails from people who say that League Express is one of the things that makes their return to work on Monday morning a bit more tolerable.

On the question of content, I do take the point about analytical discussion about the game. One of the problems, however, is that current coaches are very reluctant to talk about and reveal their tactical approach to games, which they regard as akin to state secrets.

Having said that, I think we may have someone coming on board for Rugby League World who has the right experience and would prove to be very capable of writing some great analyses of some of the bigger games.

Generally speaking, in League Express we have to try to satisfy the fan who is only interested in his or her team at one level, right through to the kid who is playing for an Under-9s team and wants to read the results of all the teams in his or her league. And one of the things that has happened in recent years is that the game has expanded, with new clubs at all levels of the game all demanding coverage.

It's quite a challenge!

And that's before you factor in the current economic situation that affects us and any other business.

NRL Tactics did a great job of that sort of thing last year. Shame we could only watch it over here using nefarious means.

Agreed. Well done MS!

Chris Irvine please note. Your approach does you little credit.

Much preferred the old Sadler he was more interesting then. The new Sadler and I think it is Danny Lockwood of League Weekly have gone too egoistic and come across with a minority viewpoint. It's as though they have to write something different or controversial to draw attention to themselves, or maybe its because they do not want to upset the admin at red hall.

Dear Martyn Sadler

I’m wanting to turn my bedroom into a shrine to Keith Senior. However thanks to lack of Keith Senior posters you provide in your publication and many others I’m unable to fulfil this dream of mine.

I did used to have a lot of memorabilia however all this got destroyed in a great argument between myself and my sister. The only thing that was left unscarred from that bitter battle was these -



His testimonial top that was in the wash basket at the time or arguing.



Framed testimonial programme that I defended no matter what at the time.



A programme with his name on it. This was kindly given to me by someone who was finished reading it at the game.

I hope you understand and can help.
