I remember Leeds' forwards getting a warning en masse from the RFL back in 1998 telling them to calm it down a bit, despite them not actually transgressing the laws. Frankly, I want any team I have an interest in to be getting such warnings. I don't want a single ounce of energy wasted in clattering the opposition until they throw their hands up and beg for mercy.
Borderline violence I am very comfortable with, so long as it remains just the legit side of the border and I was happy with what I saw on Saturday. I've not watched it back on tape in it's entirety though, so still stand to be corrected.

Which suggests that other games in the future might have to be taken to alternative venues.

It'd be nice to build up a relationship with, e.g., Espanyol for future ventures across the Pyrenees. I don't know where their new ground will be, or what will surround it.

Espanyol need as many games at their new ground as possible to help pay it off.

Catalans looking at bringing in the ex-pats on the Costa Brava.

Just read your views on Catalonia on TotalRL forum. Very enlightening.

What sort of crowd was it?

Atmosphere?

Just over 18,000 on and a great atmosphere. Died off a bit cos Catalans-Warrington wasn't what you'd call breathtaking, especially in the second half.

Again, you would imagine anybody would be receptive to someone offering to fill their stadiums for them and bring a bucketload of cash into their local economy.

A bit mysterious as a comment, do you mean you disagree My "views" are hardly original!
