Nice one.

I might adopt them as my RL team as there are few games I could target next season up north (Newcastle, York).

Not so sure Barrow and Whitehaven look too easy to get to though.

Manly Sea Eagles players to boycott NRL match over pride jersey | Rugby League News | Sky Sports

Seven players from Australian National Rugby League team Manly Sea Eagles will boycott a championship match this week in protest at being made to wear an "inclusiveness" jersey, triggering criticism from the club's first openly gay player.
Manly coach Des Hasler said the players were opposed to wearing the pride jersey on "religious and cultural" grounds and would not play the home match against Sydney Roosters on Thursday.

Was reading that earlier. They seem to have made a right mess of a well intended gesture. There are suggestions that the NRL could introduce a Pride round of fixtures next season, which if this episode is anything to go by, could have the potential to be very divisive.

Very poor from Manly players.

Happy to promote betting on their shirts but not this.

what an astonishing win for Rhinos @catalans after being 30-6 down, playing the last 25 mins with just 12 after liability Prior had earned his FOURTH ban for the season, 32-32 and winning it with another try in Golden Point, 32-36 Rhinos


brilliant

[HH81]

Anyone see magic weekend for championship yesterday?

I watched Bulls v Halifax and fev v leigh.

Always good to see the bulls lose.

Three games all on live today from 1pm until tonight. Live on premier sports all day.

My team has a week off so looking for an Oldham win and possibly Swinton ( they play Rochdale so would rule them out of the race) as a win then at swinton next week wins the league.

[cabbageandribs1875]

bit of a shock scoreline

Salford 44 St Helens 12


Salford leapfrog Hull and Leeds to 6th

[HH81]

GAME DAY | Good luck to our under 16's as they take on England Community Lions.

Come and get behind the team!

1200 KO @DalkeithRFC - Free entry for all. https://t.co/4UuSxRXaLw

Wish I had known about this earlier as I would have gone.

[HH81]

I only just seen it when I posted it.

England just won in the end when I checked the score.

It needs a magic weekend in Edinburgh now. Would be class.

[HH81]

16 from 16. Excellent win yesterday.

Good to see a competitive game also.

One more win to seal the title.

4 wins for season unbeaten.

[HH81]

Good super league game last night. Watched bits of it in amongst the football.

Hope toulouse stay up. Been there before for the rugby but I'd need a loan these days. It was expensive then (double price of a beer here) so dread to think of the costs now.

A trip to Wakefield would be much easier.

[DaveF]

Reading that Paul Green who coached the Cowboys to the 2015 grand final, as well as having a distinguished playing career, died aged 49. Looking very much like suicide too.

If you have not seen that game, then look it up on YouTube. It's a cracker.

[HH81]

What a day yesterday.

Cougars up as champions. 18 from 18.

Two left to be first team ever to win every game in a season.

Big trips to Halifax, Bradford, Newcastle and York next season.

Hibs scoring late on Saturday and this yesterday, what a class weekend.

[DaveF]

Congrats to the Cougars 👍🏉

Will definitely make a point of getting to some of the up, up north games.

[HH81]

Get in there. Excellent day in greater Manchester today. Rugby league history made.

20/20 wins
Least amount of points given away on average

Played poor and still scored 50+. Unbelievable a few years ago in front of a couple of 100 now 1000s.

Cougar mania is back.

[HH81]

Great game in France on sky.

Currently Catalans 10 Leeds 12.

[cabbageandribs1875]

we're Leeds Rhinos

[DaveF]

Good win for Leeds.

NRL play offs as well this weekend with the Roosters/Rabbitohs on Sunday being the pick of them. Their regular season game last week was a superb watch, with the Roosters looking very strong and aggressive.

[HH81]

Today's NRL has been class.

Canberra lead by 2 going into last 25 mins.

Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou, top guy had many a conversation with him while he was in England. I can't believe a super league team never snapped him up after he turned around the cougars all them years ago.

[DaveF]

Raiders win and Melbourne out. Bit of a transition period for them.

NQL at Cronulla now.

[DaveF]

One thing I don't get about the NRL is the number of games played. 16 teams but the regular season ends after 24 rounds so some teams will play each other once and others will play twice?

Cheers, didn't actually know there was another game on straight after. Putting it on now.

It’s been even better than the first! Tries galore.. I’m going with the cowboys to turn them over.

Roosters v Rabbitohs on tomorrow too.

[DaveF]

45m field goal wins it in ET for NQL.

Great stuff.

[HH81]

Huddersfield was awful today. Salford give them a pumping.

They looked poor and a long way from the side It watched at Tottenham as few months ago.

[cabbageandribs1875]

so

St Helens v Salford
Wigan v Leeds


then

Leeds v Salford final :)

[DaveF]

Opening score for the Rabbits 0-6.

Radley in the bin for throwing a (soft) punch.

[DaveF]

4-6 after 11mins. Roosters score while still down to 12 men.

[DaveF]

Roosters score again while still down to 12 and lead 8-6. This is only going one way unless South's get into the game.
