It should be mandatory for all squad declarations to be done like this. Numerical ordered players, with clear info on those not included. I woul prefer first names too if I'm being picky though! But well done @cougarmania.bsky.social for setting the standard 👏

This is up there with Ian Knott's gale force touchliner for Wire reserves c.1996 - still the best kick I've ever seen. Danny Brough's post-post-bar-in comes close too (if anyone has a clip of that, please share as I want to see it again!)

Ordered mine. Looking forward to this; will no doubt be excellent as @collinstony.bsky.social’s work always is 👍 Grabbed a copy of Brixton’s RL in Thatcher’s Britain too to get free postage 😊

The first Wire game of the season, and sadly a new era with the 105 year tradition of a match day programme at an end. Not to fear, as I've done my own publication to plug the gap. The Unofficial Programme can be printed as a 4 page A4 folder. DM me if you want a copy & I'll add you to the list 👍

The lies and rhetoric here are a major issue. The same ONS reports projects a significant ageing of the population in this period. The debate should be how we encourage MORE migration to boost our sluggish (<1% pa) population growth!!

Worst cup final ever?

Big day coming up tomorrow 😊

Sad news, as Warrington have confirmed they will not be producing a match day programme, ending a 105 year tradition. Such a shame that a solution could not be found, even with a willing volunteer (me!!) offering to produce content for free to keep it going! 1/

Fun for all the family today. The girls properly caught the bug, helped by the old school post cup match pitch invasion 😊

Looking forward to seeing some of the future talent on show today. Great initiative the new cup format IMHO. #rugbyleague

The eye of the storm: work finished, now waiting for the girls to arrive home so we can start the weekend rugby jollies Whitehaven here we come! #happydays #rugbyleague #nowthewire

Now on Site! www.ancientandloyal.com/irish-hospit... The first game of Rugby League played in Ireland, 1934. They were amazed. Warrington and Wigan headed for Dublin, despite the best efforts of Oldham and Rochdale th’ornets. Read the story & see the beautiful trophy (or 99% similarly looking 🏆)

Skeet of the day 😂

Breaking new ground next weekend, which is what the new format is all about. Credit to @therfl.bsky.social 👍 Looking forward to this 😊

All checks completed on the first first-class games of 2025. Full details of all matches now on our website: stats.rugbyleaguerecords.com/results.php?... (if anyone can help out with the missing 18th players, please shout!)
