I oilfield never disagree with Sir Lew Grade, but I was talking about The RFL & Super League, who are in as Big a Mess as we are! lol

Do you think in a previous life, Ralph Rimmer was the Titanic's Captain?

Skolars are very poor

I have to be honest EB despite being reasonably local, it’s not just the fact that they play on Saturday that has dissuaded me from going. However, in the spirit of supportiveness I do wish them all the best. Interestingly Paulos Latu, who was hapless for us, has been one of their best players week on week, by all accounts. Nice to see Christian Gale playing as well. Attrition rate in the game is very high so good that players can stay in the game and develop.

Nah....that skipper went down with his ship. Rimmer will be feathering a nest elsewhere whilst his current job goes undone.
Reminds me of a fielding supremo who after abandoning ship at the broncos spent a year on leave, a couple of years idling at a now non existent start up ended up reducing crowds at Worcester whilst alienating everyone there too....before returning to the job marketplace again
..job done

With infections still high & ICUs becoming busier, Covid could well come back to haunt us over winter/spring. Scotland has already suggested they may have to have some sort of lockdown at some stage. Maybe a good time financially to be p/t apart from the ground share.

And one could say LB are competitive?

Re: Club Statement - Part Time : Sat Sep 11, 2021 11:07 am  

On a downward trajectory but yes I would say outside top two they have been to some degree or other competitive as opposed to losing most home games.

Re: Club Statement - Part Time : Sun Sep 12, 2021 11:05 am  

Scorelines at Skolars home games this year have been;

18-35, 14-34, 34-38, 12-14, 46-30, 16-16, 14-24, 10-62, 24-44.

So two defeats by twenty and one hammering for Skolars this year at home. Skolars have been more than competitive this year and it’s actually been very enjoyable to see so many close games, though a little frustrating to see Skolars throw some games away.

If you wanted to support a winning team, can I ask how many people would select London Broncos? For the most part, the last decade, probably longer, has seen Broncos lose more than they’ve won.

Defensively very ordinary… the games I saw( 4/5). Latu did stand out. Would t be surprised if he joined broncos again
Let’s see what next year brings !
