I lost Anne, my wife, best friend and partner of 53 years at 5.20am this morning after a long, hard, life draining battle with Myelofibrosis
@patanna
was one of the most generous, caring and loving people I’ve ever met. I already miss her dearly and am devastated and heartbroken
The funeral of Glyn Shaw, former Neath RFU Great Britain RL,Widnes, Wigan, Warrington, Wales Rugby League and Union player will be at 12.00pm; 23rd.May at Widnes Crematorium. No doubt there will be a massive turnout of the rugby community for such a popular ‘Top Man’ RIP Glyn!🏴
It was a very special welcome for a bleary eyed and very tired group of boys!🍻🥂🍾😬🔵⚪️🔵
What a great couple of years we had back in 86/87 and the bond between the players and supporters is still strong to this day👍
Great times
@Halifax_RLFC
and memories that never fade🤞👌🏻
I’m sure everyone in the
@WalesRugbyL
squad are disappointed this morning after a momentous effort last nights. They shouldn’t be as there was no lack of energy or commitment in a game played out to the final whistle! Stand proud boys and let’s move on to the next game!👏🏻👌🏻👍🏴
All the way from Cardiff; the incredible Clive Sullivan, Captain of Great Britain Rugby League and Idolised by everyone involved
@WalesRugbyL
Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers.
Top Man!👌🏻👏🏻👍🏴
"Everybody is shouting go go go, and he goes!" 🏆
There was only ever going to be one try that we throwback to today, and it's one of the best in Rugby League World Cup history!
Ladies and gentlemen, Clive Sullivan MBE. 👏
There are 18 Welsh BORN players representing
@WalesRugbyL
in this years squad.👏🏻
Of course you will also recognise that there are a few Welsh born Super-League stars who are sadly unavailable.
The Welsh Rugby League player pool is growing!👍🏴
Fabulous result and a pleasure to watch
@LondonBroncosRL
play. You are a special group of players with a collective drive & enthusiasm that happens very rarely in anyone’s career so embrace and enjoy this year James👍👏🏻👌🏻
Will everyone stop crying about our attendances, be positive and try to grow the game rather than criticise it at every op. Thanks. Great win.

Happy big big 70

We have the most amazing family, who worked so hard to organise and arrange this spectacular weekend in Dorset.
So very lucky ❤️
Back in ‘87 I had the privilege of taking that beautiful trophy to Wales & my home town & first Rugby Club at Mountain Ash
@rfc_mountain
As expected, it was carefully looked after, of course, before reluctantly being returned to
@Halifax_RLFC
the Wembley Challenge Cup Winners
Great news from Dafydd Jones who travelled from Anglesey to train
@Halifax_RLFC

A clip you can watch multiple times which only grows your admiration for this special Welshman!This is just 1 of the many great tries he scored during his League career.
It’d be a fitting tribute to immortalise him on a statue in Cardiff Bay.
Vote for Clive in the current poll👍
Congratulations and well done to

Dan was outstanding again as he was in France; in fact every time he plays for us👏🏻
I am very grateful to
@Halifax_RLFC
& Richard Marshal for their support in encouraging these boys to play International Rugby League.
Good to see the huge history with Welsh players continuing👏🏻👍
Special young men adopted & supported

Enjoy the occasion boys and thank you so much for making the long journey 👏🏻👍
Good luck this weekend 🤞🏴
An outstanding ‘code breaker’ from South Wales who was deservedly respected in both versions of the game.
An excellent player and wonderful person.
Condolences to the family and R.I.P to Garfield 🏴

Another great night with the organiser

& of course our special
@Halifax_R
L team mates Bob Grogan & Keith Neller. As good as it gets!👍
Good news from the Raiders; Gavin Henson was one of my favourite Union players who I believe would have made a name in League, as would have Mike Phillips & James Hook.
Big challenge for Gav because he will be surprised, though not fazed by the physicality of League.Great signing
Proud of you Dalton👍
Looking forward to watching you
@LondonBroncosRL
.
We will rise again in the European Championship and you should be proud to be 1 of 10 Welsh born players to represent your homeland in the World Cup Finals.
Only a handful of countries can match that!👍
Jack was a very good man with great presence and a big heart ❤️ He will be missed by so many people who admired him and enjoyed his company. Condolences to Beryl and all the family ☹️

THE GREAT CLIVE SULLIVAN was born in CARDIFF.
The first black player to captain any International team in the UK.
Unfortunately & ashamedly forgotten by his City & his homeland even though he was a BRILLIANT WELSH RUGBY PLAYER.
Clive was a gentleman & LEGEND of RUGBY LEAGUE👍
Great club and player history at this ground Andy and thanks for the excellent pictures!
Fabulous personal memories for me as well of course👍
Good Luck to
@Halifax_RLFC
who looked to have recruited well going in to the new season👍
Fantastic night Lee and wonderful to sit next to Brenda Burke, the wife of my departed Wembley room mate Johnny Burke!
Great weekend and so special to re- share so many memories👏🏻👍🔴🔵⚪️
Very true Jim!
WRL have 57 pro-players currently involved in RL. This is due to volunteers & supportive parents & despite a massive lack of funding/support.
This challenges our sustainable ability to bring much more untapped talent to RL which is frustrating & very disappointing
Outstanding second half performance from
@LondonBroncosRL
and it was good to catch up with some Wigan friends down at the Shanaki who were very complimentary as was Ian Lenagan.
Everyone in that Broncos team played their hearts out today and deserved a result in fairness👏🏻
The funeral of hugely respected

So very sad & heartbreaking for Rob, his family, & so many friends in the Rugby League community.
He has been a credit to the game with his big hearted, skilful performances & deserves all the support he receives.
He will battle on but let’s hope there’s a cure not so far away🤞
Tonight on Calendar at 6pm we hear from
@leedsrhinos
legend Rob Burrow who has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease at the age of 37. A trust is being set up to support Rob and his family.
Good game of RL today

We’ve had 2 weeks of self isolation but let’s be grateful that we can still have fun!
Saturday night TV is an experience but thank goodness something is happening to keep us occupied.

Batley were dominant & deserved the result. I enjoyed the game & credit to Batley even though I expected a second half turnaround from Bradford.I really enjoyed the match & it showcased the quality of players in our game. More Championship Rugby but preferably on terrestrial TV?
Colin was an outstanding player and person who inspired many players of my generation!
