GAME PLANS? We don't need no stinking game plans.

Hope Edwards is alright. Looked like he wanted to get up and keep playing so hopefully that was all precautionary but they certainly took their time before loading him onto the stretcher

Ed: I cant hear poo poo at the pub, have they said anything about Edwards

He was concussed last week too. Absolutely disgraceful by the raiders letting this happen. Clearly he was not fit to play this week.

Anyways I missed the game again but it sounds like campese stunk the place up.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

I wonder who will be interim coach. Of the assistants, I thought McFadden was just Elliott's lapdog and Ricky Henry has only just started seeing what first grade is about.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Someone hire Warren Ryan again, purely for my own weird entertainment. Even better if he still has to do grandstand commentary on his own game (I haven't heard him yet this season but haven't been listening to a lot of grandstand 702, he's still there right?

Brett ferres of Huddersfield giants just got sent off for a lift tackle which ended with saints's jonny lomax landing on his head. I cant believe he tackled like that after recent events down under.

Yeah I thought for sure it was over from both angles the BBC showed. Huddersfield were unlucky in my opinion. The tackle suplex from Ferres was a shocker too.

Edit. The Challenge Cup 5th round draw looks like this, Super League teams in bold.

Wigan Warriors v Hunslet Hawks

Leigh Centurions v Featherstone Rovers

Leeds Rhinos v St Helens

Warrington Wolves v Doncaster

Salford Red Devils v Widnes Vikings

Bradford Bulls v Catalan Dragons

Swinton Lions v Keighley Cougars

Castleford Tigers v Sheffield Eagles

For the benefit of our Australian friends, a player can be 'sent off' for serious offences up here. It's like the sin bin except it lasts all game, not just 10 minutes. It's a pretty cool deterrent to stop players chancing it with the judiciary. Maybe y'all could try it out?

There's a storm brewing up here (well, on Twitter mostly lol) about the draw with some people suggesting it was fixed.

There's no way Alex Murphy and Gaz Schofield (both legends up here) would knowingly participate in a fix, by the way.

My members email from the club said Elliott resigned, so he obviously wasn't sacked . . .

the best raiders side since Mullins left, and bundled out in straight sets in the semi's.

Tedesco looking like he'll be out for 6 weeks :(. We're playing really well but our injury list keeps growing; quite frustrating seeing how we could be a real threat if we could keep a team on the park.
