Not watching. Won't watch.
Super League Predictions
I watch a bit of it, streamed from my laptop to the TV. Wasn't a fan of the sidebar but it is kind of growing on me. Have to say was surprise at how much camera coverage they had.
It will be interesting to see how they develop over the next few tournaments.

Here's what Paul said in 2019 when he declined a fee to play in the Saudi International.
“Signing a deal and being paid to be down there ... I would be a hypocrite if I did that,” Casey said then. “Anybody who says sport isn't political, that's rubbish. Sport is very political. I'm glad I took a stance, more so if it highlights the issues within the region.”
That will come up in his press conference at the next event. Might be fun to watch the wiggles.

At least he got it right once....

My point exactly. It's easy to say all that when it doesn't really cost you anything. Not playing there didn't hurt him and he could "take a stand". But put all that money in front of him , and I mean really in front of him as in "sign here, Sir" and Paul's stand went out the window. But I bet he was totally sincere when he made that statement. Had you said "What if you were offered a $100 million? He'd say no way. UNTIL, that $100 million is right in front of him for the taking. That's why I say no ordinary person can really say they'd turn it down. It's not being offered so it's easy to say you wouldn't take it.
Sneakylong Did he not play there last year or in '21? I think he did.
Everybody has a price...

Must be why he decided years earlier to play in China, Korea, and the Middle East areas. Nice of him to be such an ambassador for those people. Look at how it helped them. While lining his pockets with the win money + appearance fees.
Hypocrite. Rich hypocrite now.
People say shit all the time, and certainly do mean it at those times, no doubt.
How many here have ex-wives, of their own decisions, for example?
The old saying of ....'I wouldn't touch that/do that, etc., if you paid me' has always been bullshit, no matter what it pertained to. No matter who said it.

If I can't get $12, HTF am I going to get more?
Granted it only a stay on the ban for Poulter, but this could be the beginning of the big mess/end
