@Heccles94 They wouldn't have fought. But they would have stood on the sidelines cheering along and saluting Hitler.

I have no doubt in my mind that Trump and Farage would have fought alongside the Nazis in WW2

Based on both teams inability to defend and attack next week between Wigan and Saints will either finish 6-6 or 40-40

After the response I’ve received from the rugby league community over the past few days, it would feel uncharacteristic not thank the fans/friends who have reached out with messages of support following my departure from the Giants after 19 years. While I fully understand that this is a results-driven environment, the opening five games have not delivered the outcomes we all expected, however, the timing of my departure is particularly difficult, given we were on the eve of welcoming back key members of our starting line-up—players we believed would have a significant impact on performances and results moving forward. I also believe it is important to recognise the broader context of the past 18 months. Much of the work I’ve done during this period has focused on rebuilding the culture of the club, the playing group in particular —establishing standards, behaviours, and small but meaningful changes that I believed would create a strong foundation for sustained success. This has not always been immediately visible in results, but it has been central to the long-term strategy. I leave with immense pride in the years I have dedicated to the club, and with gratitude to the players, performance staff, and supporters. I am confident that the groundwork laid will benefit the club in the future. I hope the Giants can make the off field changes necessary to get a competive team out on the field consistently, giving the loyal Giants fans something to sing about.

@TrylineUK We don't fill the small stadiums enough to move more one off games too big ones. Sadly.

In Rugby Union, it is quite common for teams to move one-off matches from their home stadium to a larger stadium. In Rugby League, only Leeds have done that recently and that was in 2018. Could or should we see more of this in our sport? bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-un…

Fair enough, never found a place in our team. This being a season long move with no recall option suggests some sort of long term future with Toulouse if he takes the chance. He wasn't getting any time with us and mustn't have been seen as long term at Catalans.

Here we have Nigel Farage. The MP for Clacton Willingly lying on Twitter. The BBC has not banned Farage. He is too scared to attend tonight as he’ll face criticism from his Clacton constituents. Entirely deserved criticism. Nigel Farage is a pathological liar.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage

I wasn’t able to take part in #BBCQT from Clacton tonight, as we were told MPs are not allowed to appear on the show in their own constituencies. I’m sure I’ll be back on before too long!

Who knows where Castleford will finish this year but they've some player in Krystian Mapapalangi. Would be sensible to get him locked in long-term as quickly as possible

@DeanC_2024 Agree for the most part but don't think Farrell needs a rest. Maybe Vaughan on the bench for Eseh, give flexibility if it goes our way early.

This is why Global Warming is now referred to as Climate Change. There was a recognition that some people would be too dimwitted to understand that global warming doesn’t mean “always warmer” weather. It’s even scarier when you realise these dimwits are British politicians.

Global warming?!? Just over a week to go until Easter and we need to get our big coats back out! I wouldn’t mind a bit more global warming to be honest, right now.
