Ten transfers we enjoyed this summer _ It's nice when a not-totally-soulless one happens. What was your favourite? _ by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tirofootball.com/posts/2025-09-03-ten-transfers-we-enjoyed-this-summer

If you want to think about not-#lufc, do me a favour and sign up pls

Gutting. He's looked really solid. A confidence you wouldn't expect from a lad who's spent the best part of 3 years out injured.

Not sure which demon possesses me anytime Jake Connor does anything of note, but I think I like it.

Not seen the game, but is Presley Cassell now the best on earth?

For all the unanswered questions about rugby league's latest reach for the big red panic button, one fascinates me more than any other. What the hell is Gary Hetherington playing at? www.realclass.co.uk/gary-hetheri...

I've not posted on here for a while but Jake Connor's pass for Kallum Watkins' second try. 🤯

NEW: It's Hot Lawyer Summer, and everyone hates it. Massimo Cellino's Brescia are in court, facing a points deduction and relegation, only days before he was due to sell the club to an old acquaintance. Apparently. by @cmcmenamy.bsky.social tmgitalia.net/posts/2025-0...

Blimey. The Loiners™.

The Renegade or a Confused Spirit Albert Camus. Albert Vete. Albert Kelly. Thierry Al(i)bert. All names synonymous with rugby league greatness. @jonnyhughes1990.bsky.social is feeling philosophical www.realclass.co.uk/the-renegade...

It was fun to write about the experience of taking my bandmate to his first RL game in Goole for the @realclass.co.uk podcast/blog. I'm just a tiny bit scared they'll be better than Cas before long... www.realclass.co.uk/good-morning...

Missing the bus: how ‘Welcome To Wrexham’ could have been about rugby league The story of the behind the scenes documentary that never was. by @joshheff.bsky.social www.realclass.co.uk/missing-the-...

Brilliant writing from Rob, as usual, discussing an issue a lot of Loiners would be too proud to admit. With Wigan heading to Vegas this weekend, will Peet give into the wills of Sin City? Or will he eloquently shine in the world spotlight?

If Wigan are going to be so good then can they at least have the decency to make me hate them? by @robconlon.bsky.social

Is it time to give Jake Connor the keys to the Leeds team? Are Paul Vaughan's shorts too small for him? We answer all the big questions in the latest episode of the Real Class podcast as we review round two of the 2025 Super League season🎧 www.realclass.co.uk/the-real-cla...

Today Germany goes to the polls after years of it, and Austria, being drip-fed leading far-right figures from the AfD and FPÖ on Red Bull Media House GmbH’s channel ServusTV. #lufc

Are there any clubs where Ryan Sheridan hasn't been an assistant coach?

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 👍

"After watching Spirit of the Rhinos, I would absolutely love Brad Arthur to call me a dickhead." Some Leeds players might not agree after the weekend. www.realclass.co.uk/spirit-of-th...

I'm pretending yesterday didn't happen. I did read this article on the BBC before the game though, which I thought was a nice read. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...
