Here we go, let's hope that this thread can stick to Rugby League.

Appointments: Joe Cobb will take charge of @CTRLFC v @LondonBroncosRL in #superleague on Sunday."

A new ref to me. They often try them out on us. I well remember Thaler's first SL match when we played Leigh at GP and they got away with much thuggery. No need for Cas to behave that way this weekend though.

Ye Gods - I hope that that's a wind up. He's a very young ref in only about his second or third year in the Championships and it shows. Will probably be OK with experience, but I don't think that he's at all ready for the big time. Are you sure he's not just running the line?

Skolars for me on Sunday. Should be a more competative match.

Confirmed on the RFL website appointments section. http://www.therfl.co.uk/matchday/match_officials I suppose if you're going to blood new officials then a game where the home side are odds on to win comfortably is the place to do it. If by some miracle we pull off a win, I suspect he'd not be welcome back in that neck of the woods ever again....

So who is travelling up this weekend for this one?

Thought you guys played pretty well for the first 20 minutes today and tested us. You seemed to have a few decent players and although we won comfortably you kept trying until the end which is all to your credit. Hopefully you will get sorted and be back in SL after next season. As Eddie says to Stevo, "Keep your chins up"!

Best of luck to the broncos as a club and in particular the fans such as paddock punter. Some top fans at the broncos. Speaking from a touch of experience, the championship is fun especially with a p and r system in place. It may take a few years but you lot can recover.
