Johannesburg !!!
What the hell have you heard? Spill the beans 
(Will there be any help with the travel from the RFL?)
This revelation is a disgrace and typical of the RFL's meglamaniacal tendencies. |

Joburg will be fine. It's Salford and east Hull I'm more worried about  |

The game...
There is no difference for me between Puig-Aubert's genius and Billy Slater's.
The magic in the game is what brings most of us back to it.

The club got me into the game and makes it more interesting. However with no immediate club to support I love the game just as much and watch it at whatever level I can.

Puig was the perfect shape for much of his career.
You would hardly get a more athletic looking footballer until his late 20s.
Early pictures of him for ASC verify this...

Unfortunatley i am not privileged to have his early photograph album.
Small , fat, bald with sublime skills is what i have read and seen of him. |

Life at work is like a tree full of monkeys; all on different branches, different levels. Some monkeys are climbing up, some down. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkey's on the bottom look up and see nothing but arseholes:6251.jpg |

The game has to come first for me. If Rugby League is struggling, then my club would too. I think the games governing bodies - Europe and Down under has to promote International competition more and attract fans to watch the games. International competition gets neutrals interested - I've never had any interest in Mens hockey, but in the eighties when the Olympic team were doing well - I followed it and everyone at work was talking about it.
I love my club, but I'd love it if there was a European or World final between Spain & Italy for example (or anyone outside of the traditional nations).

If Hull KR disappeared then I would not follow another professional club. I'd watch more local amateur RL.

In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats! They're eating the pets!:18686.jpg |

If my club went down the pan, I would never go to another match again.
I would cancel my Sky subscription and just watch S.L. show. I could never support another club, I find it bizarre.
No 2nd favourite teams for me, and as for the International team……..

I think it's a given that we all love the game, that is what gives our beloved clubs a reason to exist.
But it needs to be put into some kind of context.
For example, to those that say the game comes first - would you be happy with something that had a seriously negative affect on your particular club if it was 'for the good of the game' ?
