Re: End of the road for match programmes?

Sadly i agree with all the above. It will hack off the ground hoppers but they are a whingeing lot anyway who dont seem to grasp how much of a waste of money programmes are. Maybe clubs could do them on a ad hoc basis like big cup games, title deciders etc and make it more of a collectors mag Showi...

Re: Rugby League

Well it's not Powell as Castleford coach, ex London Bronco's coach Danny Ward has been appointed until the end of the season, Not a very inspiring appointment. Next Friday's game for Castleford at Wakefield is a must win game for Cas. Pete, I was told Powel is on gardening leave so could still be a...

Re: Rugby League

At yesterday's Darlo game, Rob didn't even know that Last had gone and he instantly said that he'd be happy with Powell returning. Powell didn't have a good ending to his stint at Castleford, so personally I don't think he is the answer, although perhaps he will be able to do something in the Champ...

Re: Rugby League

Love the "very second string" bit Pete. As you know. I don't miss many games. I had seen 8 of the 17 of our lads before, and 2 of those, only once. I see Cas need a new coach as Last has been booted. No shock there then. I was shocked when he got the gig as he did not pull up any trees at Dull. Powe...

Re: Rugby League

Well, we did not expect much with only 3 first-team players. None of them played after 50 minutes. Wigwam certainly did not hold back and the only complaint was the last try with the last 2 passes clearly forward. Just hope that last 6 points does not cost us at the end of the season. All in all a n...

Good luck in the final, you'll need it as Leigh will start as firm favourites. Now I know you actually know b...

Re: Rugby League

A couple of massive games this weekend in the Challenge Cup. First up St.Helens are at home to Leigh. Now normally this would be a no contest for St. Helens, but I'm pretty sure that Leign will be favourites to come out on top. Then we have Wigan v Hull KR, this is likely to be close, but home adva...

The new shirts go on sale today. The home shirt looks great (love the Hull FC rugby league effect). Just an observation with the away shirt - it's quite a pale blue, with dark navy shorts. I can see us needing a third strip when we play eg. Hereford if a referee thinks the light shirt/dark shorts d...
