Would you support a standalone Cumbria club?
Not a pure merger between the clubs, but a single entity that represents all of Cumbria in SuperLeague.

Do you think homophobic and racist chanting should be punished as it is in Football?
We've seen chanting over the weekend that was nasty and outright homophobic, particularly directed towards Mikey Lewis. But it happens all over and among most teams.
Should the sport stamp down on it, or is that woke or whatever it means this week?
Super League title contenders emerge with expansion worry proved right
We all got excited about the new blood in Super League, but looking at the table today, it’s clear the reality is much harsher. While Toulouse managed a gritty win at Hull recently, the struggle is real for teams like Castleford and Huddersfield, who are languishing near the bottom. It’s becoming a two-tier league within a league, and it makes me wonder if our current promotion model is actually sustainable. It’s not just about getting promoted, it’s about having the infrastructure to actually compete, and right now, the gap between the top contenders like Leeds/St Helens and the rest is widening fast.

If it looks like it's grounded on the 1st shot then just give it. There's no point speeding up the rucks for the tmo to take 5 minutes to give a try.
The referees challenge when the ball clearly hit Keighran on the head was ridiculous.
