Last season saw Leeds Rhinos enjoy tremendous success in the world of rugby league, claiming a highly impressive treble – the League Winner’s Shield, the Challenge Cup and the Grand Final Trophy. They are fully expected to be right in the hunt for honours again this year, but there are challengers determined that they won’t…
Warrington Wolves are one of the most prestigious rugby league sides in the United Kingdom and Tony Smith’s men will be quietly confident of success in 2016. After a disappointing 2015 campaign, many have questioned Warrington’s decision to allow the likes of Joel Monaghan, Richie Myler and Chris Bridge to leave club in the offseason…
Rugby league is very much a global sport, and it can be easy to forget where the game began. The NRL has a long, proud history of its own, and Australians take great pride in getting behind their well-established clubs from the country’s great towns and cities while enjoying https://bastaspelbolagutanlicens.com/ But many rugby league fans…
It’s fair to say 2014 was a decidedly mixed year for Leeds Rhinos. A sixth place finish in the Super League table was made worse by the failure to make it past the elimination finals of the play-offs, but Leeds fans were still able to look back at the year with a smile on their…
No one does self serving nonsense quite like the Rugby Football League!

The Rugby Football League have suspended Wigan forward Ben Flower for 6 months for his vicious assault on St Helens playmaker Lance Hohaia in the opening minutes of the 2014 Super League Grand Final. The majority of this 6 month suspension will be served during the off season, meaning Flower looks like he will miss,…
Ben Flower’s vicious attack on Lance Hohaia in the 2014 Super League Grand Final has raised an interesting argument. There is a lot of speculation that Police are looking into the incident. In these sorts of situations you sometimes need a complaint to be made or pursued by the victim for anything to gain momentum,…
Ben Flowers vicious attack on Lance Hohaia in the 2014 Super League Grand Final is the most vicious, cowardly act I have ever seen on a Rugby League field in all my life. That Flower was sent off just two minutes into the biggest game of the year, without hesitation, says it all about how…
Check out this fantastic infographic that takes a look at both St Helens and Wigan as we head into the 2014 Super League Grand Final:
Cynical. I can’t help it! When I read that Leeds Rhinos boss Gary Hetherington urged the RFL and its clubs to block Todd Carney’s move to the Catalan Dragons on the grounds that it damaged the reputation of the game, I knew right then and there that I should go through all of the players…
It should have been a proud moment for Castleford Tigers players and supporters to celebrate the club reaching the Challenge Cup final after defeating the Widnes Vikings 28-6. Instead it turned into a disgraceful scene that Rugby League should be thoroughly embarrassed about. After the full time siren, and as Castoeford players thanks their supporters,…
So I only accurately guessed one result last week which is dismal! Let’s hope this week is better! Wigan vs Salford, Thursday 31st July, 8pm, SKY After last week’s loss against Bradford, surely Shaun Wane won’t let Wigan lose this week or he will literally beat them to a pulp. I assumed he’d fielded a…
Round 22 saw a surprise win for relegated Bradford, a comfortable win for Hull KR and the Leeds Rhinos showed that they’re just not the same without captain Kevin Sinfeild, which is expected I guess.

This is getting off to a great start. 3 out of 7 predictions correct and those were the obvious ones! Hull FC vs Castleford, Thursday 24th, 8pm, SKY It’s really not a good season for us Black and Whites. Thank God Bradford didn’t get their six-points deduction revoked or we could’ve been in serious trouble….
As the NRL salary cap rises and more Super League clubs go bust, we are going to see more English players heading down under to play in the worlds best competition. In January I listed the to ten English players in Rugby League. A lot has changed since then. After all, you’re only as good…
English Rugby League captain Kevin Sinfield will receive a length and well deserves ban after viciously headbutting a helpless and defenseless Castleford Tigers player Luke Dorn in a 24 all draw in between the two clubs. Here is footage of the incident: Seriously, he could have been killed! In an era of the game when…
Round 21 already? This season has flown by and it sucks that there’s not many more games left! Last weekend didn’t really bring any shock results so maybe this weekend will. Leeds vs Castleford, Thursday 17th, 8pm, SKY The first game of the weekend I reckon will be a corker. Leeds had a few of…
News that Salford Red Devils owner Marwan Koukash is considering buying the Newcastle Knights doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve said for quite some time that Koukash would eventually buy into the NRL in some capacity. I don’t think the Newcastle Knights are the right team for him to buy though. Let me tell you…
We’re now 20 rounds in and it is official that the London Broncos will be playing in the Championship next year, with Bradford almost certain to follow.

Kevin Sinfield has been awarded an MBE for his services to Rugby League. It is 2014, and quite honestly I can’t be bothered looking up what an MBE is or who hands them out, but good luck to Kevin Sinfield and who ever campaigned to have this honour bestowed upon him. I’m sure it will…
Catalans Dragons have boosted their half-back options with the signing of Sam Williams from NRL’s St George Illawarra Dragons on in a deal until the end of the current Super League season.

Zak Hardaker has finally owned up to a homophobic slur he made during last weekends games against the Warrington Wolves, a slur that was clearly heard by viewers of the game.
