@TristanLee_1 Cool, I’ve saved your number I’ll WhatsApp you tomorrow so you have my number and we’ll take from there.

[Ben Cropper @croppersports]

@TristanLee_1 Hi Tristan,
How’s life with you? Good to hear from you. I got married last year and now live with my wife in Leeds. Where are you based now? Would be good to meet up. Cheers, Ben

@OctopusEnergy Hi Guys, I’m trying to lower my monthly payment online but it’s been saying unable to do it for four days. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks

[Ben Cropper @croppersports]

@LeedsTykes Warwick has been great on match days in the latter half of last season. Intriguied to see what he can do in the new role, look forward to seeing how it develops and working with him.

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

I really don't like the narrative around Liverpool.

They went 26 League matches unbeaten, longer than Pep's Man City have ever gone in a single season.

Your club's disappointing season doesn't invalidate Liverpool's title win.

[Ben Cropper @croppersports]

Not attending myself due to my wedding being the day before. Let’s get a full fun bus to the North East as the champions see the season out in style.

Credit to @Seabymorley7 for his leadership and all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes from everyone involved at the club. Time to party at West Park Leeds next Friday night!

[Ben Cropper @croppersports]

Absolutely delighted for the lads after two years hard graft. Onwards and upwards for the Tykes rebirth 20 years after the 2005 Powergen Cup win

Title-chasing @LeedsTykes celebrated their marquee win over @SheffieldRUFC with pizzas and a bit of footy, but don't take that to mean they've take their eye off the prize as they return to action tomorrow ⬇️🏉

Credit to both clubs for getting this rearranged so swiftly. My thoughts are with those (like myself) who’d made other plans for next week, in view of it being free.
Just hope both squads are near full strength, to produce a good advert for #Nat2N

@RhinosFaithful 2009: My first day of journalism education.
‘No sports article has any credibility if it doesn’t have quotes to back up what you are saying.’
2024: @leagueexpress focused on ‘click bait’, gossip rather than proper RL journalism with meaningful insights.

This stat is even more insane now after finding out referees hated Klopp. He was set up for failure and still made history, that’s my goat manager.

[Ben Cropper @croppersports]

Wisely chosen words here from one of RL’s great characters. Many sports could do much worse than to heed his warning about the over sanitisation of top level clubs as they strive to stay on message. Time will tell with regard to the survival of minority sports.
