Love the game. Hate how it’s ran. An utter farce!!
I was a supporter when IMG were appointed in 2022 and they have lifted standards across UK rugby league. For too long many clubs neglected their facilities, their media output, and other areas. But the issue has been that the club grading system has always been open to manipulation. - clubs renting LED boards for one week to gain points - clubs putting in LED boards that don’t work - Creative accounting which impacts the finance element, with owners making sponsorship loans - grossly inflated stadium re-evaluations that are nowhere near market value - attendances that don’t pass muster - and so The sooner an NRL partnership is finalised, and there is new leadership in place, the better.

An utter farce!!
The RFL can today confirm the IMG Grading of the 26 clubs across Super League and the Championship following the 2026 season.

Just watched it back as I couldn’t go. How we didn’t score more in that second half period I don’t know. All, if’s, buts and maybe’s now…. even the luck of the bounce, any other day that goes forward and into Butt’s hands. How he deemed Ince to have “knocked on” is beyond me!
Heartbreak in Golden Point.

100%!!! And more some..🤦🏻‍♂️
It'll be Doncaster v Barrow and Widnes v Oldham again for the second time in three weeks next week in the Championship play-offs. An incredibly convoluted system that's spitting out repeat fixtures within a single play-off campaign.. needs binning. loverugbyleague.com/post/cha…

Can your media team do us a “TikTok” of the two tries we had chalked off please?? One of the obstructions that was called was baffling🤷🏻‍♂️

What absolute dross. Who even is the c**t talking??
😧 "Jordan Pickford shouldn't play for England again!" ❌ "It's over!" Has Jordan Pickford come to the end of his England career?

Wiiiiidnes, Wiiiiidnes, Widnes!
Just got back from St Helens vs Toulouse………last time the team were nilled in a league game 19-0 vs Widnes in 1980 😳🤯🤯 Christ 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oldham done their bit. Smith kicked us everywhere, something we miss dearly. What an absolute inept set of officials btw. First min from the ref, repeat sets, obstruction calls🤷🏻‍♂️The knock-on in front of the dug out was 0.7metres from the touch judge and he didn’t bat an eyelid🤦🏻‍♂️
FT: Defeat at the DCBL.

9 wins on the bounce for @WidnesRL , 3 of them nilled on the bounce and a final to play. Today we have a new board member in AND something exciting to come tomorrow.. I hope it’s ingots for the kids in the South Stand🙄

Great result👏🏻 What’s a kid got to do to get an ingot at the tunnel though?? 3 games on the bounce now. Ziltch! Can’t even get the ‘match’ ingot at the shop beforehand🙄
FT: A COMMANDING WIN FOR THE VIKINGS.

Only 36k interactions, the most the club page has had in donkeys. Silence is deafening! At least we’re selling heritage tops though🙄
Widnes Vikings can confirm that Tim Holmes will step down from his role as general manager at the end of June, bringing to a close a memorable spell both on and off the field for the club. We wish Tim and his family all the very best for the future 🤍 Read more: shorturl.at/jTOnR

The rumour mill circling round the unkept & littered rented house we call home is gathering pace. Surely a club “as big” as the @WidnesRL board say we are, can come out and put all this straight with a statement??

The sad & sorry state of the DCBL Stadium before today’s @WidnesRL match. I’m sure a little sweep beforehand @HaltonBC wouldn’t be to much to ask🤷🏻‍♂️

Everyone “accidentally” handles it..🤷🏻‍♂️
#WHUEVE – 84’ The referee’s call of no penalty was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed that Fernandes accidentally handled the ball while grappling with an opponent.

And they gave a goalkick🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
Absolute disgrace. How is this not a penalty? VAR said ‘natural grappling’ #WHUEVE

Jordan Pickford has singlehandedly kept Everton in the Premier League. #EFC teapawt.net/i/status/2028590785805…

So now the boy wants to go in the ground before everyone else so he’s the first to get @WidnesRL player ingots. Tried telling him it doesn’t work like that🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
