Absolutely brilliant coverage of rhinos Vs saints tonight.
The pundits after were Brian Carney, and two brilliant other ones who covered loads, including a great row about Salford.
I love rugby league. I love the sky coverage of it. Magic.

A lovely earthiness to it.

I never knew that no rugby league representative had ever been given a knighthood until Billy Boston last month. What a country!

Yep. Not even an honour for actually playing the game. A few like Ray French got one for other stuff.

Why anyone is getting an honour for kicking a ball might be another question but it’s a daft system in any case

any jargon used?

What is the system? What jumps trainers have gotten knight hoods?

You’ve sir Michael stoute and also Henry Cecil. David elsworth never got one.

Gosden is desperate for one. You’d assume Nicky would have gotten one.

Did Sir Mark Prescott get it for his storytelling or his training feats?

McCoy is the only NH person to get one off the top of my head.

I’m not sure on Prescott tbh. A little bit random he got one.

On sir marks wiki page it outlines he’s a deep passion for hurling.
