• I bet the ground staff were not pleased though, 7 games in two days, Si says it was 6 so I might be wrong. Still there's plenty of time before the season starts. I wonder how the money side of these events work, do we take a percentage of the gate or charge a flat fee or whatever. It looks like rugby league has found its home for the forceable future. I was well satisfied that we beat our arch rivals St Helens - just, it was blood and thunder. Sorry St Helens fans, I know there are a few of you on here....

I am signing because he has only 1 year on his contract and I am getting a cushy 3 year contract. I don\'t mind jogging around in training practice and getting a few minutes here and there until he is gone\". I think the reality is like Eric\'s scenario 2 or Andrew\'s scenario 3. Most young players will get their head down and do whatever the present manager wants from them, and they will do the same when the new manager comes in....
