There was a shocking error in yesterdays edition whereby they showed a pic of Anthony Bowman and said that he'd scored three tries against Batley when it was Andy who had done it.....

Erm...its a good effort...but does anyone read it from cover to cover?

They also listed Chinny and Gaz Moore in the squad list.

Most of the coaches comments from other clubs seem very similar.

I can understand it being a boost to clubs with smaller attendances who must have been losing money on a programme...and it is an RL instruction that all clubs have to issue one.

Will they have the same fascination in years to come that "traditional" ones do?

I'm glad you made the comments about the ref at the reserve match at KXP V Siddal semi final the other night in your column, it's a good job the tie wasn't lost due to his incompetence.

But if they don't know rules like that one MM.....

I quite like the Toulouse bit, it gives me an opportunity to try and guess what they are saying, mostly wrongly so far (my guessing that is). Having said that shouldn't the English translation be entirely in capitals to get that Brits abroad feeling

It said something like the Welsh version a few years ago. Don't worry folks, you're on the fast-track to SL....

Well I would have suggested that they put it in Pigeon English but there would only be 2 people in the ground able to understand it.

I hope you don't expect translations into 'Yorky-speak', when you come to LSV?
