1895 Newcastle match

Farnworth Viking — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:29:29 +0000

I’ve been told we can’t play the Newcastle match at home, because the. Council have organised something at the ground that weekend.

Were looking round for somewhere to play it. We tried Runcorn, but they’ve not got any Rugby posts.
Perhaps we could play it at Warrington, let them see a good Rugby team 🙄

Oldham chairman left for medical reasons.

Oldham are going to struggle now, if he takes his money out.

North Wales fans

Good idea from Widnes to invite N Wales season ticket holders to our match with Sheffield, free of charge on Sunday.
If they fold, some of their fans might come and support widnes in the future.

Close the vote.

Jack Owens, take a bow.

A great team effort in the 40th minute. Off the cuff RL. You can't beat it.

Lawton's ban

sunny — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 12:03:41 +0000

Does anyone know what Lawton actually did to get his ban?

I listened to the game on the radio, and just can't remember anything siad on this subject by the commentators.

Adam generally isn't a "naughty" player.

Is his tenure at Storm coming to a close?

Stuffed at home by the Bunnies today, making it six defeats on the spin for 'em.

He's been there for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time, but............

1) Is it taxi for Bellamy, and ......

2) Can you remember who was his predecessor? I couldn't, so I Googled it!

*******************************************AMENDED ROUND TEN TABLE*******************************************

O.K. So yesterday's game was actually from round five, not eleven. This is the updated table showing the points added from that game. geoffw and Martin both scored an extra bonus point for predicting eight games correctly. (Your previous position might not be the same as before as somehow, even previously posted tables have all been updated for these extra points).

Coleman post match

Cumbria viking — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:34:14 +0000

Very honest interview tbh ... numerous times he quoted players need to have the right work rate and mindset in training ...also confirmed Abdul going out on loan next week is a distinct possibility....also added looking to bring few faces in over the next week ...James has commented on X saying he's looking to bring in permanent or season loans and not short term loans .....please for the love of god let their be at least one middle 🙏
