At least for one day.

Bob Haigh and Ray Batten, what a combination. That's why Haigh scored so many tries.

Once again @skysportpl.bsky.social arguing about whether or not the ref. made a mistake, even though the "expert panel" can't agree.

If Rugby League wasn't on Sky I probably wouldn't subscribe.
Isn’t that how it is with all sports nowadays? I know people who have Sky Sports and have never watched a darts match. I’ve never seen a game of women’s soccer & couldn’t tell you any more than I vaguely recall England winning a tournament maybe 3 years ago. And these are ‘boom sports’ apparently.

Did ok at Leeds too.
Trailblazing head coach Roy Francis was born on this day in 1919 📅

The Welshman, who led Hull FC to two Championships, battled racial prejudice to become the first black coach in British sport and introduced innovative coaching methods ⭐️

Touch Judge "W Fiddes". I didn't follow in his footsteps on the pitch, but that's where I got the love of the game from.
