Melbourne has apparently been offering fringe players and financial compensation so far instead. #NRL #RugbyLeague
I agree with Parramatta's stance re: Zac Lomax and the potential Melbourne move. They'll only grant him a full release to join another #NRL club if they get an "appropriate exchange of value". Good for them!
They are said to want Coates, Utoikamanu or Howarth in a player swap deal.

This is great although I'd have preferred steam loco liveries but that's just me! 🚂😁

According to Matt Shaw via @loverugbyleague.bsky.social, #WiganWarriors are in talks with Catalans Dragons to swap Kruise Leeming for Oliver Partington.
If this happens I guess the expectation will be that Tom Forber gets more game time in the hooking role for Wigan.

Some people had made their minds up very early but It'll be interesting to see who gets the role now heading into the World Cup.
It's also sad to see it revert to a part-time role. That feels like a step back. #RugbyLeague

Can't say I blame Shaun Wane for stepping down as England #RugbyLeague Head Coach. It was a poor performance in The Ashes with a few head scratching selections and comments no doubt, that being said, some of the harsh criticism and abuse, even before a ball was kicked was unwarranted.

This is a compliment in a way but despite that, when you come out of the clown car then you're probably one of the clowns! Small club mentality.

#ManchesterUnited appoint Michael Carrick as Head Coach until the end of the season.
I'd read the owners were more impressed with his interview than the one they had with Solskjaer although nothing official on that.
🤞 some further positive results are ahead in the coming weeks.

This must be an older episode as it's the OneBore Stadium now.
Which to be honest, if Cas ends up being a poor attacking side in 2026 will be an apt name.

The referee showing a red card to a home fan in yesterday's Scottish League Two match between Edinburgh City FC and Stirling Albion (which Stirling won 4-1) is a type of sporting unusualness I like reading about 😅🟥

United losing to Brighton in #TheFACup is somewhat deflating as an #MUFC fan. I felt like we were the better side for the majority of the match but ultimately didn't win. I'm at least pleased that Sesko scored again and Welbeck's goal for Brighton was a very good strike nonetheless.

Souths sign forward Adam Elliott for the 2026 season. He played for Newcastle Knights between 2023-2025 and has 173 #NRL games to his name after debuting for the Bulldogs in 2016. #RugbaLeeg

This and Wrexham beating Premier League opposition in #TheFACup for the first time in 26 years by beating Nottingham Forest on penalties after it was still all square, 3-3, after extra time.
The Wrexham GK, Arthur Okonkwo, was the hero for the Red Dragons.

In addition to that, Referee Jack Smith felt it necessary to end the game a couple of minutes early. #RugbyLeague
I'd much rather focus on positives but crowd violence from a small minority at the Warrington V Widnes pre-season fixture leading to a young person seriously being injured outside the ground after the game is absolutely vile.
I hope the perpetrators are caught and banned for life. #RugbyLeague
