Nine hours waiting on a trolley in A&E before they found me a bed, evidence of the deliberate running down of the NHS. Shame on the Tories. Fortunately, as we all knew, the wonderful doctors and nurses go out of their way to keep it running. Support the nurses.
First David Oxley, then Fred Lindop and now the inimitable Maurice Oldroyd, truly the end of an era, my thoughts are with his family, RIP Maurice
I have a collection of old rugby league international and Cup final programmes, also landmark club ones such as Catalans’ first home game and the last match at Central Park, all boxed and free to anyone willing to collect, Holmfirth area
Sad news, a wonderful man and fantastic administrator who together with the other David (Howes) rescued the sport when it was on its uppers and put it on up upward trajectory
Anyone fancy a piano? One slightly damaged leg and in need of tuning but free to anyone able to collect, Holmfirth area

In memory of former player Tony Johnson, his family have set up a JustGiving page, this will help fund vital research to treat Amyloidosis.
This is a cruel disease that still has no known cure.
Please give if you can and raise funds in Tony's memory, thank you. 🖤
Anybody else incensed by this? He could easily afford his own private jet but it’s the taxpayer who will be footing the bill. Another example of how out of touch this lot are
Samoa hooker Danny Levi, released by @Giantsrl halfway through his two-year contract for personal reasons, has signed a two-year deal with @RaidersCanberra where he succeeds Josh Hodgson
Free to a good home: collection of 18 Rothmans Yearbooks along with 23 of the League Publications Yearbooks which succeeded it
Saints will hopefully be able to show off the World Club Challenge as well by then
One thing I really want to do and would love to do. Is stand on the half way line with the boys with the league leaders and grand final trophy on there side and the gsod and world champs on mine with that mighty red V in background @Saints1890
This is a truly remarkable achievement; I hope Gary is recognised in future honours
It’s New Years Eve

Congratulations to Robert Elstone, the former Super League boss who has been made an MBE in the New Year Honours for services to sport but can’t spot any other beneficiaries from rugby league
Awful news this morning with the death of Tony Johnson, a fabulous player for Huddersfield throughout the 70s and 80s who was president of the Players Association. Above all, a really good bloke who will be sadly missed. My thoughts are with his family and friends
For the first time in the 41 years of our marriage, there will be just the two of us on Christmas Day. But we’ve acquired a lodger for a couple of nights and Freddie is proving to be very good company, hope everyone is having a lovely day
