Mick Johal (The Rebirth Divorce Coach)

@TheRFL @SuperLeague Proud moment for our club. Joe brings huge experience and energy to North Herts Crusaders. We’re building something special here in the South and this is another big step forward for grassroots rugby league.

Former @SuperLeague player, Joe Mbu, has joined North Herts Crusaders as Director of Rugby & Head Coach, bringing significant professional & international experience to one of the fastest growing grassroots Rugby League environments in the South 🙌

@johnshenton1982 @rugbyphilosophy Union has wider historical reach globally, no doubt. But marketability and reach are not the same thing. League’s faster, clearer, TV-friendly product is easier for new audiences to understand and engage with quickly.

@rugbyphilosophy Opinions not based on fact. RL has no worldwide pull outside Australia. Union is huge across the world. You can say it all you want but in reality you’re talking bollocks mate.

Rugby League is more marketable than Rugby Union. But it’s not because of scrums. With all this talk about "depowering" scrums to "save" the game, we need to have an honest conversation about what actually makes rugby marketable. Let’s be real. Rugby League is objectively more marketable to a global audience. It’s streamlined. It’s high-speed. There is zero nuance. You run, you get tackled, you stand up, you do it 5 more times. You turn the ball over. A few years back took some American family members to Eden Park to watch the Blues vs the Stormers. If you thought they'd like the tries, the wide passes, the highlight reels, well then you (like me) were wrong. They spent the entire first half staring at Eben Etzebeth. They watched two 130kg men grab another 120kg man by the hem of his shorts and launch him into the air to catch a ball. They couldn't believe it. To an outsider, a lineout isn't "dead time" it’s a hook, an attraction, a moment that sets our game apart from the rest. When it came to scrums, they didn't care about "binding" or "hinging." They didn't even care about the number of resets. They were simply mesmerised by 8 absolute units pushing with all their might against 8 more. Men with thighs the size of an ordinary human's entire body, contorting themselves into some sort of human tank and smashing themselves into the other forward pack. And finally, my family was baffled by the "hooligan's game played by gentlemen" culture of rugby. They saw 23 guys spend 80 minutes trying to physically destroy each other, only to hug and sit down for a beer afterwards. No trash talk. No "look at me" celebrations. Just a handshake and a "thanks, sir" to the ref. Rugby shouldn't try to compete with League on "simplicity." We will lose. Instead, we should market what sets us apart. Market the fact that we lift giants into the air. Market the 200kg squats. Market the fact that we have 1 tonne of human muscle machine pushing against another tonne. And market the fact when all is said and done, our heros shake hands, drink beer, and hang out with each other's families. These are the moments that decides the fate of nations. These are the moments that make our game like no other.

@rugbyphilosophy As a rugby league fan, calling it “zero nuance” is miles off. League is clarity at high speed. Line speed, wrestle, kicking game, defensive systems and fatigue control under constant pressure. That flow plus elite skill is exactly why it translates so well to new audiences.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone who actually enjoys being single. Go out, treat yourself, meet your mates, do whatever the hell you want. No flowers to buy, no pressure, no emotional babysitting. Just freedom, peace, and your own choices. Honestly, it feels pretty damn good. ❤️

@itsCorasmith Its so much better being single

Now, 80% of single men say they're not even interested in dating anymore. What happened??

@pearlythingz Post-divorce dating after 40 can get intense. Travel, hookups, and “relationships” in places like Jamaica, Gambia, Kenya, and India are common. Female sex tourism often hides behind romance she pays the bills, calls it love, and avoids the label.

Fellas, in your experience at what age do the women that you know have their sluttiest moments?

@evertonblue76 @KonstantinKisin I think he is great

Gaslighting, bigoted, racist piece of shit. God awful human being. What are #bbcqt doing allowing this piece of filth on to air his disgusting views. @KonstantinKisin

Wow! Brilliant stuff. “You talk about the politics of division. But you created it. You did this to Britain & you will reap the whirlwind” Watch as Konstantin Kisin slams the UniParty panellists on #bbcqt for their enabling of mass immigration & attempts to slur opponents. @KonstantinKisin @Iromg @danwootton @JuliaHB1 @PatrickChristys @IsabelOakeshott

@Fred_cpo @kurtcaz1 Germans init

dude tried to slash @kurtcaz1 w scissors lol, link in comments.

Here we go.

Some things need protecting, not explaining. Gatekeep your relationship. Let people wonder why you’re calmer. Why you’re lighter. Why you’re smiling. Peace doesn’t need witnesses.

The biggest threat to a good relationship usually isn’t someone sliding into DMs. It’s the people on your couch, smiling, waiting for you to complain so they can validate their own story.

One of the fastest ways to damage a good relationship is talking about it too much. Not because joy is wrong. But because not everyone hearing it is rooting for you.

@arunruby08 He is a domestic abuse victim

🚨 MACRON GOES NUCLEAR AT #DAVOS. Without even naming him, #Macron just dismantled #Trump’s "imperialist" trade wars. He called out "international bullies" and slammed tariff threats against sovereignty as "fundamentally unacceptable." The message is clear:- Europe isn't for sale and it won't be bullied into a "Board of Peace" or a Greenland deal. 🇫🇷🇪🇺 #Davos2026 #Trump #TradeWar #EmmanuelMacron

@hell_line0 There is a bigger female loneliness epidemic of single never married no children over 40s women. Its sad that people turn it into something to bash the other gender with.

Male loneliness? Married women with children have been lonely since the beginning of time and NO ONE ever studied THAT.
