Had the first of 3 assessments today by the neuropsychologist with regards the symptoms of CTE I’m struggling with
- a result of hundreds of knocks to the head over the last 20 years in professional rugby league
I don't regret a thing - id do it all again in a heartbeat 💓
I love the Catalan dragons
But
Hull KR is. A MASSIVE Rugby League club that will easily sell its allocated tickets should they reach the final
Anyone that has plans for Rugby League without BOTH Hull clubs has no idea what they are talking about
Get off the fence
KRovers❤️
@BBCBreaking
What a joke
How can you negotiate with anybody when the option to walk away is not there?
- I will tell you
You can’t 😂
And that is a fact
Why is nobody asking the RFL questions about the state of the game?
Why aren’t explantations coming from the RFL voluntarily?
Everyone is sick and tired of the way the game is run.
Please somebody do something.
I hate cryptic texts like the one I posted earlier
brain scan results back -
My scan results are one of the worst the brain specialists have seen -
Not surprising having playing rugby league front row professionally against men from age 14!!!! - 34
But I’m ok 🤪😩❤️😂
Just seem trinity’s CEO Michael Carter’s thoughts on 3 suspensions from WT v Saints last week - a saints player will miss this weeks cup final as a result
RFL you are destroying the game
Sort yourselves out !
You’re embarrassing your players and your fans
What are you doing?
Hi All
Just had a bit of bad news this last week
I’m ok so please don’t worry but thought I’d share this
One thing to remember- if rugby league wasn’t the most brutal team sport on earth - I wouldn’t have played it
What a life I had in rugby league ❤️
Can we drop the name super League - and instead be know as
The “RFL” the rugby football league
That’s who we are
Super league doesn’t mean anything and there are that many different super leagues in sport
RFL Grand Final - for example
Thoughts ?
Great to meet up with the saints boys to send off Sean long to harlequins RU as attack coach - had the added bonus of bumping into big Moz too - we had fun discussing old times 💋
Take my son to his first Wakefield trinity game v Leeds rhinos
Told him we’d both buy a trinity shirt and two baseball caps each
Guess what ?
Yep
You can’t buy any club merchandise at the stadium
How embarrassing for me and Wakefield trinity
Joke
This is the best little cafe on earth !
How do I know ?
Because I’ve been to all the rest !!
And I’m back here - eating on the family patch in Wakefield
The best little city in the world with the best cafe
@RedVeeDotNet
Come on St. Helens !
Do it again !!
Do it for Stan & Gibsy - fir Derek
For Gilly Leon & Foz 😂❤️
For eammon !
And all those crazy mad Saints fans ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hit sinfield with a very deliberate attack to his head hurting him quite badly giving away a penalty - my captain Nat wood shouted to me, “do it to him again” so I did - I head butted Barrie macdermot & got sent off - & we lost 😩😂😂😩😩😩😩
He head butted me first though 😘
Always proud of the saints win lose or draw
They just a great bunch of people
I know that
I know the culture - well done the boys for being a part of a great game & and great advertisement fir rugby league ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I forget something when talking to people
My favourite get out is
I played rugby league fir a living - so I’ve taken a lot of bangs to the head
Then I pause
And add…..
But not as many bangs to the head as I gave!!!
A bit of Dark humour always helps 🥰😍

Scully became very aggressive the time I beat him at an arm wrestle in Portugal after we’d had about 20 pints each 😂💕
I celebrated by shouting “there’s a new man in town ... ME!”😂 I was then Slammed up against a wire fence😩😂Scully = Legend & a great bloke too 😂💕
I get so sick of the zero and promotion of the game. But once again Rugby League is dragged forward by its greatest assets - the players
Well done Wigan and especially Salford
Can’t wait for next week
@MartynSadler
It’s totally ridiculous to be picking Aussies for England
I’ve spoken to players about it in the past and they don’t want them in either - why would they?
They arent English
I loved paying the dragons in France
Great trip
Beautiful beaches and bars and food
Best bit was after the game unlimited wine cheeses baguettes
Once we hD this massive party where I met the great Stacey Jones And ate paella with him - and swapped stories best night ever
Francis meli was one of my most favourite team mates ever - what a gentle man off the field - very polite and caring / an absolute gentleman- and then he pulled on a rugby league jumper - he’d happily kill you !!!!! 👿❤️ a very funny man too - king of the one liners !!!
This was an out take photo of last nights meal -
What is Stuart Fieldens problem
So aggressive ??? Still ... after all these years ? Let it go Stu ... let it go 🙄🙄😂😂😂
The Warrington team of 2002 2003 was absolutely crazy - great characters I loved playing rugby league with - at the zoo what mad supporters -
#fletcherstreet
If you are a rugby league fan or a sports fan in general - and you are free ..., you need to go to this fixture before you die 😩😂
It’s quite an experience
I played in one of these games and it was truly memorable experience
Terry matterson who attacks my head in this clip - is one of my favourite coaches I ever had the privilege to play for - loved him as a bloke & person loved playing fur him - (errr great bloke OFF the field that is 🙄😩😩)
@NRLonNine
I really respect Phil Gould and pretty much all of his opinions
However - it’s always nice to think back to whipping his NRL champions the Brisbane broncos back in 2007 with St. Helens
Don’t get defensive Phil - just send over the kangaroos 🦘

@engywalmsley
I’m starting to dislike you Alex
Very funny on the mic
good bloke
Playing great
And now stunts like this
I used to see players in MY number 8 shirt 😩
And think the saints still miss me
(I’m not so sure these days )
And it’s your fault !😡😡😡😡
@jamiefoster22
I’ve played in more Derby’s than anyone
Leeds v Bradford
Huddersfiekd v Halifax
Warrington v Widnes
St. Helens v Wigan
Hull KR v Hull FC
Castleford v Wakefield
Dewsbury v Batley
That’s 7
Best that
I’m open to offers !!!😎😎😎😎
And I’m still alive !!!
I feel very lucky to have had the life I’ve had in rugby league
I don’t feel bitter
I’d do it all again in a heartbeat
Just wish I’d have known at the start of my career the facts that were withheld from me so I could have taken out insurance against what was coming
❤️
I’m representing over a hundred of my friends & old enemies from my battles on the field
I’m putting my head up to get knocked off
& it feels great ! - just like old times!!
Thanks fir all the messages of thanks from so many who are struggling - it makes it all wort while ❤️✅
Eammon told me that as soon as I signed for Saints the 2nd time in 2010 - I rolled up the contract infront of him into the shape of a cigar sat back in my chair - crossed my legs and pretended to smoke the cigar saying “ I’ve done you AGAIN” while laughing very loudly
🤣👿❤️
Big fox is feeling very good this evening
Handed in a bank card I found on the car park floor - unsigned and contactless !!!
🤩🤩🤩. But I did the right thing and handed it in - on way out I met the guy whose card it was - I’ll definitely be going to heaven 😩😇😇😇😇

@leonpryce6
I loved playing for this man and so did the rest of the boys
He was so tough but cared about us - had great sense of humour
Talked to us straight and honest -
We had a lot of fun
One of my favourite coaches and people
Hope you are well Cull xxx

I once bit a blokes forearm when he pushed it in my mouth trying to rough my face up. Was I sorry ?
No !
Did he put his elbow in my face again ?
No !
