Re: Rugby League News
Jermaine McGilvary has announced his international retirement with immediate effect. He was outstanding in the 2017 world cup, and is still putting in excellent performances for Huddersfield.
But given the options we have for the wing, I'm not overly suprised.

Dewsbury appoint Liam Finn as there new coach.
Interesting appointment, never coached before going into a team that are in the bottom 2. Good luck to him anyway.

Hull FC marquee signing Josh Reynolds has left the club with immediate effect, after being told he wasn't going to get a new contract.
Had a rough time in England, and either seemed injured or out of form.

Given the support Dewsbury showed to Bradford it is for me hard to see them struggle. Liam Finn certainly has a task on his hands, Lee Greenwood is a very good coach so it is not immediately obvious to me at least where the improvements are coming from.

I am sure both parties will be disappointed that it has not worked out as I am as a fan of the game.

I do agree with you but I am disappointed for him and the team. Makinson is a shoe in and I would like like to see Tom Johnstone given a chance. In his absence McGilvary would be very close if not in the side.

Next year's championship summer bash looks like it will be heading back to Blackpool.
Not a suprise given the poor attendance especially on sunday (which I thought was the better day if I'm honest).

Next season's challenge cup final will be on August 12th, and is returning to Wembley.
The women's challenge cup final, and 1895 final will also be on the same day.

Ralph Rimmer (CEO) and Karen Moorhouse (Executive Director) will step down from their positions within the RFL at the end of the season. Presumably the start of the new IMG led era.

And have announced ex Hull KR boss Tony Smith as there new coach. Interesting, putting aside the rival aspect, if he gets them playing like Rovers last year he'll be a success. If they play like Rovers this year, he'll be a failure. Good enough squad, but in my opinion something is wrong in the club. Not sure he'll be able to fix that.

And Wakefield sack Willie Poaching after a year.
Bizarre, he got them to finish 10th, and the last couple of months winning. Lot of older players leaving so could shape his own squad. Really don't get why they've done this.

100% agreed, very strange decision after a very positive end to the season. I see that they have also let Assistant Coach Francis Cummins go, two good people who IMO deserve better.

Ralph Rimmer is under pressure on the basis of comments made regarding the Fijian Team playing at the World Cup;
Ralph Rimmer
I know he is going but IMO he should pack up and **** off, soon, today, now. Disgraceful, particularly for someone in his position.

Agree about Adam Walker. Good player. Thoughts with everyone associated with him.
2 coaching news.
St Helens, have as expected promoted Paul Wellens from assistant to the main coaching position.
In a suprising move Sean Long is the new Featherstone coach.

More coaching news that I think has slipped under the radar, James Ford has left York for Wakefield as Assistant Coach. In honesty I am a bit surprised at this, given his track record I would have thought a Head Coach role would have been more likely.
Agree Re; Featherstone, Sean Long's announcement is an eyebrow raiser.

Have rebranded and will know be known as the Leigh Lepards, rather than Leigh Centurions. To be honest, don't like it.

Batley coach Craig Lingard will take up an offer to be Assistant Coach as Cas, initially on a dual role basis. He has done fantastic work at Batley and IMO deserves a chance in SL. Personally I am a bit disappointed, I would have liked to see him at Bradford!!!

The 2025 world cup in France is a doubt. After the French Goverment have cut the funding (though keeping full funding for the Rugby Union wc this year, and Paris olympics in 2024).
This would be a massive shame, especially as to grow the sport in France a World Cup would have been a massive boast in my opinion.

Re: Rugby League News
I think Keighley sacked Lovegrove which is perhaps even more surprising, very hard even with the signing they have made to make the top 6 in the Championship in Year 1.
Slightly concerned as letting Luke Gale go and now the Dual Reg with Hull KR ending, hopefully all is well and it is adjustments nothing more deep rooted.
