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.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Thoughts?
Here's mine; I believed that Andy Burnham would do a good job; a genuine fan if I remember correctly, born in Leigh. Spoke up about the Hillsborough debacle when few others would dare. Not sure he did such a great job as RFL president though, a bit too quiet on Rugby League matters for me.
The role is largely as a figurehead with no responsibility or duties. Is Adams a good fit? I dunno; he has a high profile, some of his PR is not good but as a soccer player he was a solid and hard player and probably still commands respect despite his off-field problems. He can certainly get himself into the media if he wants to (as could Burnham), but he seems to have no connection whatsoever to RL; unless, perhaps, he is a silent London fan!
I never saw this one coming; let's see!

You do realise that Bradley Wiggins lives near Chorley and has for some time, don't you? Wigan IS his local team and is supported by his children who have never lived anywhere near London! If you're being that pedantic maybe he should support Belgium?

No its not, i support leeds utd and leeds rhinos, i am Castleford born and bred, my family are cas fans, but my sister used to support west ham. i have friends born n bred who are hull fans and Spurs fans, i have friends that chastise me for watching Leeds and not Cas and not supporting the local team, who themselves then support Man United. locality and where you are born and bred is a huge factor but not not exclusive.
ps Bradley Wiggins was born in Ghent Belgium and his father is Australian.

Not quite on Tony Adams thread, but, since you ask I like watching Rugby League and I would have thought that the vast majority, if not all of the posters on here would enjoy watching the sport? After all it's on a site called RLFANS I take it that you don't and you aren't given your post which is a bit odd really when you think about it given your propensity for commenting on it? | | | |
