Turf, briquettes, coal or wood next on the fire?

For some reason I could not load the last page of this thread. The only way I've managed to do so is by changing my display default to 40 threads a page from "forum default"

Think the Unionists are corrupting the site .....

Spooky thing is that it's happened since I changed the title from running with no issue, boards working fine to current title!

I think this current page is probably the best page amongst a plethora of fantastic pages (plethora, good word) though, so well worth your effort changing your display settings.

A really interesting article I read today, an interesting take on the African American civil rights salute in the 1968 Olympics 200m award ceremony. The Aussie who came second and his story. Genuinely fascinating read.

Was going to comment on how predictable the Rugby Union world cup is with a New Zealand v Australia final, then I thought, it's slightly less predictable than a Rugby League World cup final.

RL Kiwi haka is still better than a All Black haka though.

Thread title is strictly inaccurate - I deleted a thread in October 2013 and permabanned the OP, although I did it at the Sports Category level rather than just in this forum .....

Thank you Rugby League forum. Calm and lovely as ever.

Beasty · 06-11-2015 9:45am

Is that because you've christened that ban hammer? is there anyone (other than me) still allowed to post here?

Yeah, first ban, the serenity of the League forum continues.

Others are welcome and allowed to post, must be the intimidating atmosphere caused by Moderation/Regular Poster here that causes people to avoid the place.

Terrible news over the weekend about the Rugby League journalist getting assaulted in London. Gary Carter is in a medical induced coma, who knows what happened but that a man could well have life changing brain injuries is tragic.

North Queensland Cowboys Johnathan Thurston has unsurprisingly won the Golden Boot this year. Quality player for the last few years.

Brett Ferres suspended by the Giants because he was found in bed with the wife of his team mate and best man, Craig Huby, by his wife. She then videoed it and sent it to Huby.

Jeremy Kyle on his way?

Rugby League has its own linguistic maestro ala Steve Mcclaren. Not quite up to his level but Richie Myler has a certain gallic flair to his accent now.

Kevin Sinfield is first ever Rugby League player to be nominated for BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. Not a snowballs chance in hell of winning but it's nice recognition for him and the sport.

Normally a pre-Olympic year gives some of the lesser sports a chance. Not this year - Andy Murray will walk it

I do wonder why they still have personality in title, awful lot of the winners don't have any.

As I'm sure one or two of you have noticed DWW has stepped down as a mod and closed his account. I would like to thank him for his efforts to bring this forum to life, both as a regular user and more recently as a mod.

We've still got .ak as a mod around here, and I'll be dipping into the forum on occasions. If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate in dropping either of us (or indeed one of the other CMods) a PM

Beasty · 05-02-2016 10:38pm

The DW stadium pitch is looking a disaster at present. With the way the weather's been and now they will be alternating between soccer and rugby league I hate to think what state it could be in after a few more weeks - guess it will be bringing back memories of the 70's...

Edward Hopper · 27-04-2016 4:09pm

Didn't know where to post this, so here seems ok. Toronto are going to be playing in UK Rugby League's third tier next season. Can't see it working but it would be great if it did. They are paying for the travel expenses of teams to get there (much like Guernsey did in Non League English football, only a good bit cheaper I'd have thought!)

It will be fantastic for the semi-pro and amateur lads getting a free trip to Canada anyway.

I've had one or two PMs requesting I add it to the "forums under review" list...

:pac:

We did have a big bust up in one forum (that will remain nameless) over the title of the off-topic thread. Any suggestions for re-branding this one???

(I will then overrule any such suggestion(s) and impose something on the forum)

Edward Hopper · 04-06-2016 6:39am

Suggestions

It's good, but it's not quite Frisbee - Rugby League chat thread (think that was done before)

The Leeds lost Again? Rugby League Chat thread

Love salary cap infringements? Then you'll love the Rugby League chat thread

Boards equivalent of One Man and his Dog - Rugby League chat thread

You really should get out more - the Rugby League chat thread

Who needs a finished charter - the Rugby League chat thread

Sheds/dressing rooms.Bunker/VideoRef.1 ref or 2 it's the Rugby League chat thread

And I'm done (could've used that as one before actually)

Angular Cheilitis (fancy name for cracked corners of mouth) is quite annoying and a bit sore. It's about as off topic as I can manage sober.

Yeah but that doesn't stop you enjoying salt and vinegar crisps now does it? And surely that's all that matters?

To some extent yes, however....

... following the laser eye surgery to seal a retinal tear back in October I get a lot of floaters across my field of vision. Some of them look like little creatures crawling across my crisps - not very nice for a vegetarian to witness. Then the sinus operation 3 months ago affected my sense of smell and taste - I prefer ready (or un-) salted anyway. Regardless, as a result of the shoulder operation last month, I have difficulty stuffing them in my gob.....

But but but, salt and vinegar....

I concede.

Oh, and I hope a huge dollop of good luck is due for you, after this seemingly endless stream of bad.

Posted this on the union forum. Seems like a good way of getting people to play Rugby, just they don't seem to realise it's touch Rugby League they're playing.

Some American sweets aren't that bad. Jolly Rancher are nice, Reese peanut butter chocs are also nice. Tried loads, so anyone needing a rating of particular sweet (or candy if you must) please do let me know. :pac:

Must rectify that, but it's going to be so, so very busy, with the upcoming world cup and massive influx of new posters to the forum that will presumably bring, I just don't think I'll get time.

Tom Mann Centuria · 14-07-2017 12:15am

Watermelon flavoured sweets are the work of the devil, loads of American sweets have that flavour included sadly.

Confession. For ages, on RL teams twitter feeds, I couldn't work out what KTC meant on all their score update tweets.

Really not that difficult unless you're a plank like me.

I'm due to win the lottery soon (I presume), what can I get everyone?

Right, so I didn't win the midweek draw, but that must mean I'm nailed on to win Euro millions Friday. So what can I get anyone?
