Seems like a decent article with a way OTT headline.

Hello, this looks interesting: [urlhttp://www.nzherald.co.nz/league/news/article.cfm?c_id=79&objectid=11541949[/url. Are we about to see someone actually doing something to get the game out of the stagnant quagmire? Can't criticise the ambition, whether it'll come off is another matter, especially if the clubs refuse to release players.

just lifeted from Twitter...

Super League @SuperLeague
Tune into @SoccerAM from 10.00am to see @WiganWarriorsRL & @England_RL player @samtomkins1 on the red sofa.

Anybody else having slight issues with the site... slow, occasionally freezing?

Have had for a week or two lately, ads very slow to load I think it is. The fan kicks in on my lap-top, and I find if I try to open another tab on my browser, that usually helps (after a bit) to get things going again. Still very annoying, though, I don't get it on other sites.

Thanks for your reply... Not just me then..

A few random timings indicate that it's simply the adverts slowing the page rendering. Turning off all the blockers I've got and allowing everything to load (and taking up near as damn it half the screen) results in load times up to 20+ seconds. Just enabling Adblock & NoScript (in Firefox) brings this down to a second or 2 (on a 40MB FTTC line).
I know adverts pay for sites like this but when they end up wrecking usability, the site designers really should have another think about whether they're really required. And that's not even considering externally sourced adverts (ie those pulled in from sites all over the Web) could be randomly inappropriate or be hiding a Trojan to merrily destroy someone's machine without adequate AV/firewall or auto popup blocking turned off.

Nice to see Matty Bowen at the Cowboys game last night; his nephew (a centre) was making his debut for the Cowboys, and Matty had presented him with his jersey pre-game.

Did the lad score on his debut? Of course he did!

I’d very much appreciate some feedback from you guys. I’m putting this in here to minimise facetious comments from opposing fans. This is by no means certain, and only at the ‘thinking about it’ stage right, but I am considering moving to Wigan. I have lived where I am for a long time now, but have never liked it that much. Financial constraints made it unfeasible to move in the past, but nowadays I am earning much better money (hence the regular trips to the DW to see games!). My son is settled in London, and has been for some time.

My house is just about bought and paid for, and although it’s not worth much, it’s worth enough, I hope to buy a small flat or house in Wigan, looking on rightmove site, that looks doable. Although I am getting on, I would need to work as long as possible. There is quite a skill shortage in my field (I am a mechanical design engineer), and I reckon I could find work OK. I would have thought that commuting to either Manchester or Liverpool is just about doable (plenty of trains?) if need be, and I still have my bike. Haven’t looked lately, but the last time I did, I found jobs very much in my field in Warrington.

So any comments (downsides welcome!), especially from commuters, would be very welcome. Thanks.

OK, I get the message...

Can anyone help me. I keep getting an ad coming up every time I use this forum. Saying I have won an iPhone. It takes me off this forum and it's so annoying. It has only been happening this last few days.

Been happening to me on my iPhone for a week or so too.... I have other options, so i just don't use my iPhone to look here.

Yey it is only happening on my iPad. At the moment I am using my android phone with no problem. Thanks anyway for your information.

If you're using an iPhone use this version of the site, no adverts (so no pop ups) and it's easier to read! m.rlfans.com/forums/

Her Majesty arriving at the Hull KR game, wearing her Wigan away colours...

What's happened to aboveusonlypie? Used to be a regular poster here, but now I don't even see his name in the list of members.

A change of username, a falling out, or something worse?

Probably got fed up with the out and out negativity..... As I have...

Stop winging

Whinging
Bloody terrible on here!

Whoops

I am not even going to blame auto-correct.

Anyway
