This fella is one of the greats, not just of #RugbyLeague commentary, of promoting RL in a positive light.

I enjoyed this interview with PVL.

He says a proposal for #NRL investment in #SuperLeague is imminent but there's still a few details to iron out before that happens.

Our stats from last night's game are impressive.

Another 2 points in the bag for this week at least and for the rest of the weekend we can watch with interest whilst the other teams slug it out.

UK #RugbyLeague fans leaving a very positive impression in Vegas, just like last year.

Excellent stuff.

Leigh weakened without Ipape then losing Ofahengaue, Davis and Hodgson during the game but Wigan were comprehensive in victory.

Harry Smith was my player of the match.

St Helens releasing a statement about their former player, now pundit, Jon Wilkin....

Worrying times for the St Helens club.

It's only bloody game day.

There are rumours Ipape won't play for Leigh but I guess we will find out at approximately 6:30pm.

I've read that some UK #RugbaLeeg fans drank the plane dry within 2 hours on a Heathrow - Vegas flight.

I like the axis as a description.

Don't forget Dodgy Derek.

I actually think Hudgell and Davy have some redeeming qualities but that's just my opinion.

Brandon Smith getting a fairly severe calf injury is rotten luck for Souths on the eve of the #NRL season.

Just to be clear, I’m an Australian sports journalist.

Not a Scottish bloke with Tourette’s.

I wasn’t on the BAFTAs.

@johnnyddavidson.bsky.social I hope you're holding up fella in this obscure case of mistaken identity πŸ˜…

It could only happen to a #RugbyLeague journo.

That being said, crowds, engagements, hits and viewers have been generally trending upwards since 2023. #SuperLeague

Pretty much everything is up. Great numbers for the #NRL that just keep on getting higher / bigger.

Meanwhile in #SuperLeague we are relying on an unelected and crooked 'leader' to help get us an increased TV deal after it reduced significantly last time around.

Got my tickets for Good Friday.

The old Derby clash and the only official derby other than the Epsom derby!

Leigh have announced their squad on their socials but no other promotion of the match so far.

Same as last week with Farrell at centre or will Sambou come in? .

I see Leigh are yet to promote the game on their socials after the Beaumont head explosion last year.

They're instead, so far, only talking about the game the week after.

We're on a short turnaround this week so Thursday night's Round 3 clash is fast approaching.

Keighran has escaped a ban for late contact and Leigh are going to be without Umyla Hanley.

This week the shortlist for the award was:

- Ezra Mam stifling the Brisbane attack
- Liam Horne comes on; high shot, passes a ball to the dead-ball line and gives a hospital pass to Matt Davis before being hooked.
- Leigh Leopards for their second half crumble.

And I've given it to the Leopards!

No props = no pots as they say! Or props win pots!

Take your pick.

I like the idea. I know there's plenty that don't. He'd go from being a slow winger to a forward with very good leg speed (which gets spoken about more in the #NRL than here).

You need guys in the middle with good leg speed who can get you rolling forward. It makes your pack more dynamic.

These recent times will be looked back on as the good old days at some point in the future I'm sure.

Reuben Rennie has given both Wakefield and Castleford heartburn these past two weeks.

I'll get my coat.
