@COYFCast I can probably claim Egypt and the Czech Republic. I may also be responsible for Albania as it's my VPN destination of choice 😅

@COYFCast If all of the current Superleague coaches had a shouting competition, who would be in the grand final with Ryan Carr?

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@COYFCast They should paint a big "14" on the roof of the Wheldon Road End

@OutlawCowboyNFL @dawest76 @VoiceOfTheStar Because it's related to your bio clock, people often get cluster headaches at the same time of day, day after day after day for weeks or months at a time. Then they just stop. Then you nervously wait for them to come back.

@OutlawCowboyNFL @VoiceOfTheStar One time the only relief I could get was hanging upside down to make blood rush to my head. I know people who use pure oxygen to abort attacks. When I'm in a cluster I take 22 pills a day and 2 injections and it still doesn't stop them. It's a bad bad MF'er.

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@VoiceOfTheStar If he missed time because he had cluster headaches then the team/league did him a disservice reporting just "headache" on the injury reports. Can tell you first hand you can't think straight or even sit still and it feels like your face will explode, day after day after day.

@COYFCast @casrugbyshirts Also NFL power rankings are generally based on "if each pair of teams played on a neutral ground, who would win". This table suggests they would expect Hudds to beat KR, Toulouse to beat Warrington, and nobody could beat York. Just insane.

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@COYFCast Sam Grice stood out for me.

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@WhatGoingDowney Has there ever been a punt where we didn't commit a penalty?

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@COYFCast Let's be real, he'd get a 4 game ban for that in superleague, especially in a Cas shirt

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@VoiceOfTheStar "I decided to start running" is interesting. Hints that the coaching staff were holding him back, and he didn't like it and took matters into his own hands.

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@Marcus_Mosher There would be a million excuses for why "it doesn't really count"

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@VoiceOfTheStar That sounds like a guy repeating criticism he's been given by someone he respects. And a guy who knows he's on his last chance.

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@SeriousAboutRL "...given the lack of available coaches on the market, it seems the most sensible option" What?? Didn't 20 coaches just apply for the Cas job?

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@COYFCast Crowd sounded awesome

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@BloggingTheBoys The longer they wait, the more headlines they generate, the more talking heads talk about them, the more they trend on social media, the more they dominate the NFL news cycle entirely. That's worth real $$$$ to them that justifies cash lost in salary & bonus.

[Mark Tonks @marktonks]

@Marcus_Mosher True, if you're arguing in good faith, but who argues in good faith when it's anything Cowboys related?
