Rugby League

[Tuffley Rebel]

Does anybody else on here follow it?

[Lord]

Used to go quite regularly and watch the London Bronco's play when they played at The Valley and saw one of the Ashes games a few years back at the JJB. Bit of a trek over to Brentford for me, so my viewing is now restricted to what Sky show. Excellent game though, much more entertaining than Union.

[Mr Happy]

I agree, a great sport that makes American footballers look like pansies!

Love it.....been an armchair of the Cherries since a kid , fortunate to have seen them a few times..edwards, offiah....nowadays farrell and radlinski

 

caught quite a few games in OZ/NZ, excellent experience

 

any comparasion between that kicking code is groundless, noticed there was yet again no middlesex sevens invite this year, got fed up of being embearrsed on the pitch

 

Luckily here in st albans we're blessed with a side on the up and up, now that the powers that be have got the league structre sorted out it can only go from strenght to strength..sadly the media, down south, as it has always done percieves it to be not worhty of equal coverage

 

see the bloke who owns the Warriors in NZ is looking to but the broncos here

[Tuffley Rebel]

JKIF,

I've been to St Albans this season, against Coventry and the warmup against the Broncos. Great facilities at Woolams. I've no doubt St Albans will rise through the leagues, as soon as promo/relegation is setup between NL 2&3 the northern sides will be finished.(Dewsbury, Chorley etc.). The northern sides won't be able to match the commercial setup of the likes of Essex, Hemel, SLS, Coventry etc.

I read about the NZ Warriors man last night, I'm going on the TotalRL forum now to find out more. Does anyone else use it?

[Mr Happy]

I didn't realise there's a rugby league club in SA. Please can you tell me more?

[JKiF]

Dedworth Rebel , yeah great facilities there...a few million apparently, I guess Union does have its uses :-)

Went to the Valley as well to see the Bronco's play, when they had Tulsen Tollet and that. Also saw Offiah, didn't Shawn Edwards play for the Bronco's?

 

Also saw them get thrashed in the Cup Final by Leeds, Leroy Rivett scoring 4 tries I think.

 

Anyone know whats happened to Bobbie Goulding?

[Lord]

Shawn Edwards was there for a time, well past his best though when he played for the Broncos. Tulsen Tullet, he was a class act, one of my favourite players. And yes, you are right about the Silk Cut final and getting thrashed by Leeds.

[Tuffley Rebel]

I missed my sons 1st birthday to go to the challenge cup final, Broncos were in the game until the 50th min, and then fell apart.

Bobby Goulding is now head coach at Rochdale.

[JKiF]

what a semi tho, (broncos)

 

 

ne one remember when League was on BBC2 in the 70s?

my first introduction

[Tuffley Rebel]

I'm too young for that, but my father bangs on about it, was it the BBC2 Floodlit trophy?

I was at Headingley for the semi against Cas, Steele Retchless has been a great servant to the club.

I got into league by my father taking me to Craven Cottage to see Fulham. I've been hooked ever since.

[Mr Happy]

thanks for the link

[MHL]

I've been away.

 

Bobby goulding Head Coach at Rochdale now, good luck to him. Shame he had a short fuse as he was quality.
