Radio Cumbria has named one of the victims as Rob Purdham's brother.
Sad day for all involved.

Gary Purdham wasn't just Rob's brother, he was an accomplished RL player himself having represented BARLA and also played professionally for both Whitehaven and Workington Town.

Shocking news, RIP to all who lost their lives today.

i had a really bad feeling it might be a rugby league personality when the doctor from seascale mentioned one of those killed was very well known, especially in west cumbria.

my thoughts are with all the people there at this very traumatic time.

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that. [/quote] Another classic: [quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban. Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player. Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666 0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match". Therefore ZERO.[/quote] Give the girl her dummy back.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18821.jpg



R.I.P to all those shot today.

This is absolutely horrendous. Brings back memories of Hungerford. Greatest sympathies to all who are suffering because of this.
