Perhaps I dreamed in the weeks building up to the new yawnion season that the sycophantic media was full of articles preaching how the new season was going to be the most exciting ever due to the new, newest, latest rule changes. You can't polish a turd.

And also the season where RU crowds would move close to (Football League) Championship attendances. So far, that seems highly, highly, highly unlikely. Especially when the average crowd at Leeds Carnegie is several thousand lower than at Scunthorpe, the Championship's least-supported team by gate.

In fact, their total attendance last year was still less than that of Germany's Regionalliga Nord.

Dave Woods asks if we need to be looking at stronger ties with rugby union in the development of our junior game in England. Time for an act of union?

If it worked perfectly, RU areas could be exposed to RL and vice versa. In a more likely world, they'd just steal our younger players.

Can't you avoid things like that by putting coins in your mouth?

Looks like they may have to go down at least another time to find their true level.

Don't worry Barry I am fine but could you imagine this happening though.
Union would have a field day nicking all our best talent so for me this is a no no.

That's not what's happened in New Zealand.
