I'm not surprised, but I'm still disappointed. Your think Loubser would be fighting for his job and keen to get bodies on board.
As for flogging shirts......sigh. the monkey legacy will be the wire shirt and a bunch of unsold merch.....

Not much of a legacy. We won't be wearing a Wire shirt next season.

I'm tempted to buy the wire one now......

I'd never ever wear it, but in 10 years it might be worth a bob or two, for the rarity value

I doubt it. Plus you would probably get more satisfaction from it taking up space in monkey's shop.

The only good reason to buy this shirt would be to re-enact the shirt burning incident.

I wonder if that wire fan knows he is the stuff of legend
I resent the blue hoops I bought in the 2014 2-4-1 fire sale at the hive.....bloody awful.

Back to topic, where is the Ladies final? Considering how this season has gone, it would be wonderful to be able to cheer the one highlight of the season, and get as much support to them to see if thy can bring the trophy home

Womens final is at Pandy Park, Crosskeys on 27-Aug. Not going to be able to make it myself unfortunately but hope a few can get there.

Unfortunately can't make the final. Hope a decent crowd can support them on though.

How did the final go? Anyone know.

Also Victor it was not to be....final score 04-34 to Cardiff.
I would still expect the ladies to be front and centre at the awards ceremony at the end of the year.
I'd also like to see them take on some WSL sides from the north in preseason next year ....this talk of 1 being promoted to the north next year is very condescending.....some northern teams have been hammered week in week out....I reckon Cardiff, London and the Army are good enough now.

Watched the game on our league. Well done both teams, great to see players just playing rugby, no constant appeals to the officials. Accepting any decisions, no play acting or trying to milk penalties. Just getting on and playing rugby league. Not to be for Broncos this year but if they can keep that core of players together they will be challenging for the trophy next year.
Standard in the women’s game differs massively but we have moved on from the days when army women’s team couldn’t lose. Looking forward to some good WC fixtures.
