My feelings exactly regarding when JC got injured, thought the worst at the time. Think our paymasters Sky only count satellite dishes, and not people.

The stick he has received so far is completely justified imo, but those are outstanding numbers today. Just to add, those metres came in 18 carries and he had 5 tackle busts as well. It would be highly ambitious to expect that level of performance week in week out, but if he can do anything close to that on a regular basis with Taylor alongside him then we will dominate most games.

Just what the f does that mean? Something popped out like a cork - once opened corks are difficult to put back in place. Poor analogy and or simile.
Why does the club obfuscate on these occasions? We appear to be kept guessing re injuries; note Kelly’s and Talanoa’s. Just tell us as it is we’re all adults, ain’t we?

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

You can use obfuscate correctly in a sentence but don't know what a corked thigh is?

he made a big difference in the second half for your team
but he wasnt up against much of a pack, ours is so lightweight and its not been rectified, woolford must be wanting a team that can play quick in the summer months

We have to get back to Sunday games in my opinion,bin Thursdays,and have one televised game Friday night and one televised game at 18.00 on a Sunday when there is nothing worth watching on TV.
We need more spectators watching live in the stadiums and not at home.

Yes. But it's hardly a new term.

There'll be nothing to watch if sponsors stop going because they'd rather extend their working week and attend a Friday night rather than leave their family on a Sunday.
We went back to Sundays and crowds went down.

I thank you! So if it’s a dead leg then call it that. All these colloquialisms do not afford clarity. Anyway the only dead leg I have nowadays is me middle stump.

Sponsors will not stop going to matches if everyone switched back to Sunday.
When you sponsor a team you pay a fee whether you go to the matches or not.
I would also argue that additional away support generated by playing on a Sunday would compensate for the loss of one or two sponsors.
Its something the new Super league should be seriously looking at as well as the TV rights renewal.

Karen is quite right in that our attendances went diwnnwhen we went back to Sunday’s and it had a significant impact on the revenue stream from sponsors too if I remember. Away fans also was a minimal increase compared to Friday nights.
Sponsors are no longer just fans wanting to put money in to a club they love they are now businesses that use sponsoring & hospitality as a serious marketing tool. As such many invite their own clients/customers who aren’t necessarily big fans of the club or sport so a Friday night is ideal for them to attend. It’s very difficult speaking from experience to get people to come to events on a Sunday due to them not wanting to take up family time with a work event.
So unfortunately if sponsors can’t get a benefit from sponsoring other than handing the club money then sponsors will disappear from the club and use their budget elsewhere.
So to say sponsors will still continue to go is not quite true as unless there is a financial benefit to doing it many won’t as it is done purely for business reasons

| Not sure how many clubs in rugby league would take that level of support to an away game when their team has won one game in eight months
