Its a shame some if the other forums and become almost obsolete, used to be good going in other pages pre and post games and the VT which us basically dead, mainly ruined by others, whilst the genuine posters have gone, even miss battles with Vastman and a few others, nothing ever serious.

We should be kind to Jools (ish) otherwise thats another gone.

Yeah, its kinda sad that this site is dying out. Used to love spending my work hours browsing through the different forums. Now you've got to try and find other teams' independent forums and thats effort so I don't bother on the most part. This site setup was great for getting fans of different teams all congregating and chatting/arguing

I just think there are other platforms for discourse now, twitter, etc, which are much more pleasurable to use. Rlfans now is awful to use, with all the adverts, and the platform is about a decade out of date. It formats terribly on a phone, and audio from podcasts cuts out when browsing the site, no doubt there's some underlying way in which the site has been built that makes the podcast app think there's audio elsewhere, but it's just lots of little things combine together to make it a ballache to use.

It's not just the sh*teness of the platform, I think it also reflects a waning interest in the game in general. The quality is really bad, and the outcomes are predictable.

Yeah this is true too, almost unusable on iPhone. Seems to be loads going on in the background with ads, league tables and sky sports videos being loaded. My phone seems to have a freak out and heats up when I browse here for more than about 10 minutes. I spent an hour on here once and it drained about 30% of my battery

Hopefully some good news on the injury front. Just seen Mikolai dropping Bodene off after training, and Mik was driving fine

I think I've accessed the correct bit of the RFL website and we have no bans from Friday?

That's right.

Assuming we don't lose anyone through the week, do we expect any other changes than Newman at Centre with Hardaker moving to the wing?

Another performance like Friday and we will be in with a shout.

Agree. And it's great how far under everyone's radar we still seem to be flying.

Wouldn't be surprised if Sutty played second row if Newman is fit. A lot will depend on the fitness of Handley and Fusitua.

Yeh, with Gannon and Martin out, we're looking short in the back row.
If Handley, Newman and Fusitua are fit, maybe Sutcliffe will move to back row.
I like O'Connor starting at 9 and Leeming off the bench.
Smith to start at 13 for me.
Tet, Leeming, Walters & Donno off the bench.
Briscoe and Tindall as back up 3/4's if any of the others don't make it.

Yep. If all available that would be how I would go. Would have a fighting chance.
