Franchising brought the game almost to its knees. Destroyed London and Bradford as top flight clubs without producing any replacements. Encouraged complacency in both clubs and players. The difference the return of P&R made should have been obvious in the performance of the England team in the...

But it's not the EU it's the UK. The UK don't want a border where EU goods and services can enter the UK without some check. to say nothing of people. It's us that chose to leave, not them who want us to leave. I've crossed the border from Derry into Donegal, apart from the road signs being in...

John Major, who risked a great deal to lay the foundations of the Good Friday Agreement, has spoken in favour of another vote on Brexit. Presumably, among other impending disasters, he doesn't want to see the GFA wrecked by Brexit. I know it's been twenty years, but surely most people can...

I don't recommend it. I don't think RL can be established out of the heartlands any more than Union can be established in a meaningful way in the RL heartlands. Leeds tried to get their fans to watch the Union side, by staging a game as a curtain raiser to a Rhinos game, the fans...

I'm not sure this is the place to discuss this, but in order to establish a SL club in a place like Bristol, would need someone with mega money, who's prepared to lose a lot of it for, say ten years or so. Bring in a few big name Union players perhaps, with some hardened British RL pros, plus a...

Good luck with that. The track record of non heartland RL sides is not encouraging.

Featherstone Rovers.

Canada is a very similar country to the US, in terms of it having wild areas, and isolated communities where some kind of firearm is probably necessary. They haven't banned them, you just have to pass various tests in order to possess them. Their gun crime stats are a fraction of the those in...

How to make a small fortune out of Rugby (either code?) Start with a big fortune. TBF Man U apart, I don't reckon there's that much profit in soccer. Look at Leeds U. Third biggest city in the country (Manchester is 3 authorities) and huge crowds. But struggling in the second tier, even been...

First half Scotland took a lot of chances with long floated passes, They came off. It could just as easily gone the other way, with the passes intercepted. However, Huw Jones looked an excellent prospect, surely some Welsh blood there with a name like that.

As I stated in my initial post, I'm a League fan, who watches Union on TV. I would interpret this reply in League terms, that after the PTB any technical infringement, knock-on, forward pass cannot be punished. Is this correct?

~Sorry you've lost me, as I say I'm new.

Given what I've read this weekend about the protests over gun control in the US, if I were running the NRA I'd be looking to compromise from a relative position of strength. Give a little, because if they don't I predict there'll be such a surge in anti gun sentiment, they'll end up having to...

I'm a newbie on here, and a League fan to boot. I thought England had a raw deal from the ref second half. He seemed particularly whistle happy. I write this as someone who is usually happy to see and England Union XV fail.
