The biggest breakthrough was Super League innovation in 1996 but all that is unraveling and game at pro level in UK is back in intensive care. NRL takeover a mirage at this stage.

And yet an Ashes series this autumn catching fire. As for the game down under, it has never looked or felt stronger.

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putinβs lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

The Nazis crushed a liberal democracy in 6 months. Trumpβs done it in 1 month. And he says Zelenskyy is a dictator! Stand with Ukraine.

Nippy at Headingley. Defrosting. Wakefield thoroughly deserved their 14-12 win. Great teamwork, commitment and persistence. Leeds disjointed, lacking in ideas. Lots of muscle but little nous #SLLeeWak
