  2. Re: Rugby League: Super League - Round 7 Leeds look the buisness tonight , London ( Harlequins ) missing 9 first teamers , struggled last week against against Huddersfield ( beat 66 - 14 ) Expecting a massive game from Mcguire , he seems to be back to full fitness. Read somwhere that Mcguire scores most of his tries in the last quarter , might be worth backing him for last try scorer , priced at 10/1 with william hills.

  3. GOODWOOD OFF DUE TO FOG Racing at Goodwood on Thursday was abandoned with the Sussex track covered by mist. The first race was originally due off at 2.10pm but after waiting until 2.45pm to see if the weather improved, the decision to abandon was taken. "The conditions have worsened and we have had no alternative due to health and safety," said clerk of the course Seamus Buckley. "We had a glimmer of hope around three-quarters of an hour ago but sadly it didn't improve and I am sure and know that we have done the right thing.

  4. Re: New St Helens Coach (Rugby League) New Zealand coach Daniel Anderson been appointed new coach of St Helens. The 37-year-old Australian replaces Ian Millward, who was controversially sacked for gross misconduct on 10 May. Anderson will not take charge for Saturday's Super League against Widnes, but he will be at the helm for the visit of Leeds on 27 May. "I am thrilled - St Helens are one of the great names and I am acutely aware of the proud history and the ambition to remain a leading force," he said.

  7. statement from Eamonn McManus - Newsteam @ 15:48 GMT St. Helens Chairman Eamonn McManus has issued the following statement on behalf of the Club: "The detailed disciplinary charges against Ian Millward are being considered by me and I anticipate that I will conclude my decision within the next couple of days. "The charges are being grossly and irresponsibly trivialised in the press and in particular by Ian's solicitor Richard Cramer who should not be speaking on the matter at all under the legal disciplinary procedures. "I have always had an excellent relationship with Ian and have always supported him personally, professionally and financially. I even stood by him when he last chose a seriously weakened team against Bradford without the knowledge of the Board of Directors and I stood by him when the gambling charges arose which brought the Club into disrepute in the eyes of our spectators, the game and the wider public - but had nothing to do with the Club itself. "The great name of the Saints has been brought into disrepute too often in recent years and as Chairman I cannot allow this to continue. We should be recognised only for our magnificent rugby and the great standards of the Rugby League game and all it represents. "That said, further action will be taken only if the incidents and other matters are sufficiently grave in their own right. Ian clearly knows that and I trust that the fans now know that. "The Club is presently suffering from having to adhere to the requisite confidentiality of the proceedings. Ian and his solicitor should do likewise and honour this as their actions are de-stabilising the Club. At least have respect for our players who are handling this in a professional and business-like manner. "In the meantime the totally irresponsible way in which people and sources are commenting on this matter, some even people closely associated with the Club, is doing little more than unnecessarily damaging the Club and Ian's own case. This must cease until the full facts are revealed. "Finally, the personal attacks on the Saints Chief Executive Sean McGuire and his family is based on wholly erroneous information.This is resulting in vicious personal attacks against him. It is clearly a planned and carefully orchestrated campaign and I personally find it offensive and upsetting. He has personally turned around the club's financial and commercial position in the past two years, and he is a person of the highest principles and acts absolutely in the best interests of the club. He has done so in this instance also
