@johnnyddavidson Seen some bloke complain online that he’d never have booked to go to NZ if he knew Coote and Austin were going to be picked despite both putting their hands up for selection months ago. Some strange people in this game.
@MartynSadler So you’re quantifying survival in a hugely disappointing season over consecutive minor premiership’s? Yet you went mental last year when we didn’t celebrate lifting the hubcap enough, you really are a parody Martyn.
🇬🇧Wayne Bennett has today announced his #GBRLLIONS training squad.
👊The squad was selected by a panel of seven, led by the GB Head Coach.

@low161@TheRFL Their statement didn’t contain appalling accusations and inaccuracies, of which shouldn't have been made and shouldn’t have been made publicly.
@low161@TheRFL Agendas and anti-McManus opinions? That’s daft Chris. I’m just disappointed he chose to go public with such grievances and some of his comments.
Literally none of us were calling for Hicks to be stood down from the CC final because of the death threat before he decided not to refer to VR. Had we won we would not have been questioning his appointment now. For our chairman to get involved in fan hysteria is embarrassing.
@low161@TheRFL He didn’t. Making his grievances publicly was wrong. As was his decision to publicly do it again in the programme and as it was to release yet another meaningless statement today.
@jdgsport No but the idea Rugby League is terrible is potentially perpetuated by a not very competitive league which has a knock on effect on coverage and money.
Here’s how you write a statement, not the pieces of shit we’ve been subjected to. Professional, well written and to the point. McManus should take note.
@delamere1lad No problems with moaning about the standard of refereeing, it is poor. However, questioning the integrity of a referee is completely wrong. As is calling a death threat, even one on Twitter, a “pathetic spat”.
Disgusted by McManus’ comments in the programme. Hicks is incompetent, rather than bent, which he’s gone 99% of the way to suggesting. He should stick to trying to find a good coach to replace Holbrook as his record over the past 10+ years isn’t all its cracked up to be.
@Halewkwoo@johnnyddavidson You thought he was going to act more warmly towards them after one of their fans threatened to kill him? I’m not sure on that logic.
@chopsrule@johnnyddavidson I haven’t got anything wrong with the opinion refereeing is getting worse, however, suggesting that a referee is bent, which EM has all but done is well over the mark and he should be heavily reprimanded internally and externally as a result.
