229: Forty20 NOT LIVE: 22nd February 2022

“We don’t upset people enough anymore.”

We seem to be much more calm this days, not getting caught up in nonsense and pointless arguments for the sake of it.

We leave defending the indefensible to Martin Kelner when he’s on Fighting Talk, so our discussion of Luke Gale’s red card and subsequent ban, focusses less on his actions and more on the reactions. We don’t get it.

That starts off a look back at week two in Super League, with clubs already in crisis, key players missing leading to impressive performances, and that’s the same in the Championship as well, albeit with less drama over under achievers and some tasty Challenge Cup ties to come.

Plus, how a negative story for the sport was ignored for a kid in a car. It’s a funny old game, as Greavsie used to say.
