The Greatest Game

If anyone is picking up the Rugby Leaguer and League Express this week, they will notice a few articles written by me surrounding last Friday’s astonishing Castleford - Leeds match.

Aside from two news stories, in the centre pages there is a reflection piece on ‘a great night for rugby league’. A snippet:

“On the crumbling terraces at The Jungle, it was possible to recognise three essential things about modern rugby league: sport needs its Davids to make its Goliaths, the old heartland matches can provide as much interest to the watching world as any other, and that Super League can never, ever be predictable.”

A portion of an interview I conducted with Castleford coach Terry Matterson recently for a larger piece on the Tigers has appeared on the excellent independent Castleford website www.castigers.net. The interview has been split into two parts, with the first half available to read here and the second half available to read here.

For the same piece, I also interview Tigers Chief Executive Richard Wright, a portion of which will appear on this site this week.

Welcome to my new blog, The Greatest Game, dedicated entirely to rugby league and all issues surrounding the sport. With the 2008 season rapidly approaching and franchises on the way, the future is looking bright.
