Hookers makes more contact with the ball than any other player.
They act as dummy half after a play the ball, swinging passes out or breaking down the opposition's defence.

Well, here we go. Let’s see what the editor of the sole remaining #rugbyleague newspaper has to say on a topic that he clearly does not wish to speak on, but now feels he has no choice but to address.

“Not have a strong public profile” actually = disappear from public view for 3+ months. Why so coy?
But thanks for admitting that you agree it’s a problem, but only communicate that privately to Ralph himself, & don’t bother telling your readers in your weekly newspaper.

Tragedies in modern era #RugbyLeague:
1. The splitting of @SuperLeague clubs from the @TheRFL (which - unbelievably - was supported by the RFL).
2. The abolition of @TOwolfpack (by the short- term self-interested @SuperLeague clubs).
3. Replacing the calm, sensible . . .

[THREAD] 1/ Seeing as a @brianmoore666 retweet has brought me a host of rugby fan followers, I thought as a treat I'd introduce you to the greatest ever rugby-based #ukemplaw case - Mason v Huddersfield Giants. Here's the link: bailii.org/cgi-bin/format…) #Rugby #rugbyleague
2/ As many of you will know, Keith Mason is a Welsh international who played for many of the great rugby league teams post-Millennium and is now plying his trade as an actor, boosted by his friendship with Mickey Rourke: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Mas… bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-le…
3/ At the end of each rugby league season, many of the clubs hold an event (or at least did back in 2012) called Mad Monday, which the Judge in this case described in language I've never before seen in a judgment:

Sky Sports owns broadcast rights to Super League until 2021. They must broadcast a minimum 70 games. BBC has rights for weekly highlights
Toronto and Catalans can have their home games broadcast as long as they have a domestic broadcaster willing to make a TV deal.

In Canada specifically Sportsnet World has the Super League contract to rebroadcast Sky Sports games but Toronto can find another broadcaster (current rumours are TSN) for home matches.
So what does this mean for Canadian fans?
