"Government advice is that sports crowds will not be permitted until April 2021"
This weekend, I was one of only a few dozen people at Wembley to watch an immense Challenge Cup final.
In Australia, over 67,000 were at the NRL semi-finals.
How did we bollocks this up so badly?

Me: Rugby League is a global sport; fast and exciting, full of drama & physicality. And, as such, in this modern era of professionalism, deserves to be freed of the tired old “whippet and flat cap” tropes, the lazy Northern stereotypes.

I'd been excited to start my 25th season today.
Then... this?
If the club are binning me off, why am I only finding out via my replacement's social media the day before the new season?

What a crying shame. Over 150 years of history.
I'm sad for the Good People at the club. For the fans who've invested so much passion, emotion and money.
Mostly, I'm angry that people you wouldn't trust to run a halftime raffle have driven a great club into the ground.

Just seen the proposed law changes for Rugby Union resumption.
Suggestions include the removal of 2 flankers, imposing a 6-tackle limit, introducing non-contested 6-man scrums, awarding 4 points for a try and 2 for a successful penalty kick at goal.
Think it could work.

Rugby League MUST continue away of the M62. I love you, RL, but we need to be so much more than a parochial Northern pursuit.
Toulouse and Catalans show it can be done, and done well.
So many wonderful clubs have fallen by the wayside.

Hopefully we can find the support to continue in the professional game but we have some big decisions to make and very little time. Full article here on

Observations so far from behind-closed doors rugby:
➡️ You can hear the chat on the field. And from the coaches. Really interesting.
➡️ You can REALLY hear the thump of the collision. Love it.
➡️ The lack of traffic after the game is marvellous.
Would I prefer a crowd?
100% yes.

I don't want to RT this dick, BUT:
The public vote that "stocked" Parliament with "70% remain-voting MPs" was 2017. ONE YEAR after the EU referendum. The "will of the British people" has clearly & demonstrably changed massively since 2016.
You wanted sovereignty? You've got it.
Parliament, stocked with 70% Remain-voting MPs, continues to do everything in its power to defy the will of the British people & stop Brexit happening.
What an absolute disgrace.
