Thanks to all for best wishes for Rich and the team. I have two apologies to make - first of all for giving a bit of a scare to friends/family of Rich who had (because of time differences) not been made directly aware of his injury as of yesterday evening. I understand now that all the necessary people have been informed personally...

Secondly, I should have said that Rich will require some surgery, not that he was currently undergoing it.

Two golden rules of journalism broken in one email - so apologies again!

To respond to the other comments: I might have a go at videoing the final game of the season next week and see how it goes..I could perhaps put some highlights on youtube, with the permission of Canada Rugby League of course. There are no good vantage points as far as I can recall but it would give a flavour of things I suppose.

I do make a comparison between the two Scarboroughs in an upcoming article for the Centurion - so you'll have to buy that edition!

Thanks for the comments guys I really appreciate it.
Having the operation tomorrow evening and who knows maybe I'll look like George Clooney when I wake up!
Didn't get to see much of the game but by all accounts Scarborough were outstanding. From a coaching point of view its great to see the improvement from the first game. The players are starting to play and think like league players and not union. Of course there is still a lot of work to do but the future of rugby league over in here is very encouraging.
A big thank you to mapleyther for his help before and after the game and good luck washing all the kit for Sunday!
Thanks again.
