Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Yeah I'm pretty sure there wasn't that many there last night, and as mentioned, it'll probably end up being scaled down - probably to a weirdly exact figure, like exactly 4000.

As much as I'd love us to become the next Wire or Huddersfield, I can't see it happening any time soon - solely down to the finances. A lot of people seemed to presume that moving to our new stadium would instantly see a big increase in crowds, and climbing up the table similar to Warrington, but its definitely the finances which seperate us. As it stands, we're not going to significantly improve on the pitch without an increase in crowds, yet crowds won't increase much without improvement on the pitch - catch 22. Who knows though!
Don't want to put too much of a downer on last night, absolutely great result  icon_biggrin.gif" alt="icon_biggrin.gif" title="Very Happy" />. Hopefully we can squeeze into that last playoff spot. Nice to see other fans talking about us in a positive light too - and a couple of Warrington fans come in our stand last night icon_wink.gif" alt="icon_wink.gif" title="Wink" /> |

I have seen some fantastic tries scored by Broughton on the highlights shows. How good or bad is his defence because he looks international class with the ball in hand and England could use as many options as possible.

That's his Achilles heal sadly, his defence is ok but that's the one area he needs to work on (although playing for us you can get exposed a little at times) but with ball in hand he's a big strong runner and once he's gone, he's gone.

I'm in agreement with KOTS here.
He seems to rely on his athleticism rather than being a natural rugby player. That said, Williams on the other wing appears more of natural rugby player and reads the game much better, but even he gets exposed. I think it's down to guys inside them getting sucked in.

As expected the crowd has now been lowered. 4220 according to League Express.
