Huddersfield Giants owner Ken Davy and Rhinos Paul Caddick have both been honoured by the King in the New Years Honours. Davy and OBE and Caddick an MBE.
I wonder if David Hughes name ever came up in conversations about the awarding of honours this time around. I bet not!

Not that I agree with the honours system but nothing this year for Kevin Sinfield after another series of ultramarathons raised millions for MND research

That is quite sad, especially when you consider Southgate gets a Knighthood for winning nothing & David Moyes an MBE just for having fish eyes. But the system stinks.

Without getting too political I’d say the K for Khan breaks the causal link between merit and honour sufficiently to make trying to work out what’s going on a fools errand. ( I accept this is by no means an isolated incident - Ms Dynamite MBE services to music anyone?) For what it’s worth I think Sinfield will get a K sooner rather than later. I’m surprised Labour missed the open goal but I think it will come. Happy new year all.

If any bunch of reprobates deserve a good 2025, it's us lot for years of suffering for our sins. The banter has been fun even with Northernbloke & Orange & long may it continue. Wishing you all health & happiness in 2025. Cheers!

Bongser wishes you all a Happy New Year too - though he knows that there are a myriad of hurdles in your way. Best of British Luck to you all (and none to the French).

On a side note, did see a rumour that Cats would be required to fund visiting clubs' (tho' not fans') travel to Perpignon next season. Does the same apply to TOXIIIc?
