    Brisbane - No longer RL's no. 2 city

    btw, as RL cities it gets a whole lot weirder. Bradford play at the south western extremities of their own city for example. A mile or so to the south is the border with Huddersfield. A mile or so to the west is the border with Halifax. The area covered by the Bradford local authority though...

    Brisbane - No longer RL's no. 2 city

    You are and you aren't. They're part of the same urban sprawl but in other respects are very distinct places. Most of the UK is made up of governing bodies called county councils. Places within the same county, but seperate towns, usually have the same local authorities. In West Yorkshire this...

    London Broncos in serious trouble

    I know where Chris Caisley sits at Odsal and I know where there are good sniper positions with a direct line of sight. This information is for sale to the highest bidder. Note to legal eagles: this is a joke.

    Dogs not within a bull's roar of trial

    It depends. If it's quality of life and things like that that you want then Leeds is probably the better place. If you want comedy local politicians, race riots, a good sense of bitter vindictiveness and how to use it plus the smell of boiling fat from the local abattoir then it's Bradford all...

    Dogs not within a bull's roar of trial

    It is, I've never come across owt quite like it before. http://sport.guardian.co.uk/rugbyleague/story/0,10069,1285987,00.html http://sport.guardian.co.uk/rugbyleague/story/0,10069,1287932,00.html My database of RL news stories only goes back to last August so those two are the earliest...

    Dogs not within a bull's roar of trial

    I'll have to, in a moment of weakness I made a verbal promise to go train with their message board team. I don't expect to survive the weekend. :shock: I read somewhere Bradley Clyde might be playing in the WCC game. If you can beat them with him on the field, after he spent a season as one...

    Dogs not within a bull's roar of trial

    They're dropping bricks I'm sure, but Leeds and Bradford are in the middle of a huge and steadily escalating row. They're traditional rivals anyway, they're the biggest games of the season now, a player Leeds think is contracted to them is currently playing for Bradford (hence my signature - I...

    Andy Farrell wins Golden Boot award

    As someone who has bagged Farrell for hiding on the wing for years I can honestly say I think he's a worthy winner this year. He's finally living up to the hype that he generated in his first couple of seasons. Fielden has had a poor season, at least by his standards. Carney has been out...

    An example of why Richard Lewis is so good.....

    The answer is that it didn't for a very long time.

    Bradford are reporting a 20% increase on the same period last year. Salford are reporting a 150% increase on the same period last year No figures from Leeds yet but they're bound to increase their sales. Warrington are talking about a 25% increase. Not seen any figures from London...

    Tri Nations Final to sell out today

    There is a highlights programme on the BBC. There's a story in this week's League Express about it getting between 10 and 15% of national audience share. Not bad for the channel it's on.

    Leon Pryce?

    That's right folks, so central a pillar of the establishment is Rugby League in the UK that it is able to sway the decisions of the courts. The RFL does not use its power for good, such as, say, getting people to watch or play the game. It uses its power only for evil and perverting the course...

    Go the Lions!

    If you're flying in mate fly with Jet2 to Leeds/Bradford. I doubt you'd get the cheap prices this close to the time but I've flown to Amsterdam with them for a tenner. It's about 40mins from Amsterdam once you're in the air, there are buses from the airport direct to the city centre and the...

    GB

    England is a country, as is Scotland. The things you just mentioned are nation states, commonly called countries and correctly so. Country can refer to boundaries drawn on geographical, political, feudal (in Europe at least) or even racial lines. The distinction is more blurred in the UK than...

    IOMRL?

    I've just realised where the three-legged Isle of Man symbol comes from. :D

    I always sit down for it so I'm not surprised it annoys him. The trick to avoiding vomitting is to sing God Save the Team.

    IOMRL?

    There's a big water wheel. After the Bikini Atoll it's probably the most irradiated island in the world. You can just about see it from the tops of some of the Cumbrian mountains I've climbed in the past but you have to use the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant visible on the mainland...

    is there a team based in manchester

    I think when you come out of Old Trafford and head over the bridge that crosses the ship canal by Salford Quays there's a sign saying you are now in Salford. The words 'in' and 'Salford' are all uppercase. It's surprising they didn't double underline it. And use the <BLINK> tag.

    London Broncos

    London Storm. They were in NL3 this year I think.

    Who's your team?

    Don't let a Loiner hear you say that. They're blue and amber. The distinction, apparantly, is everything.
