    Two weeks ago, I experienced wheelchair rugby league after being invited to @England_RL training as they prepare for @RLWC2021. It was tough, physical and requires incredible skill. I left aching and sore: but in awe of the sport and its stars.

    There's someone outside Elland Road playing Money Money Money by ABBA on a trombone. Can be heard perfectly inside. I'm not joking

    Rob Cross was sat at home 12 months ago watching the World Darts Championship final like the rest of us. He wasn't even a professional. He didn't even have a Tour Card. On Monday, he's playing in the final. It's a sporting story like no other. Ridiculous #darts

    Average of 531,000 across the 12pm-2:45pm slot yesterday for Super League on Channel 4. But the match average audience was even higher I'm told: 631,000. Highest EVER recorded audience for a live Super League match. I'm told Channel 4 are delighted with the numbers. Great start!

    He never once said how hard it had been for him. It was always about how tough it had been for his family, his children. The most selfless man you could ever meet. His bravery, knowing when this message would be played.. I can't even begin to put it into words. What a man.

    Look at the three men who have beaten Kell Brook. Crawford, Spence and the almighty GGG. Genuinely great fighters. Put some respect on Kell Brook’s name. He’s a phenomenal fighter. Khan wasn’t in the same league tonight and never has been: which is why he’s ducked it for so long.

    Lindsey Burrow is the most incredible woman. Selfless and clearly the most amazing wife and parent you'll ever meet. We all spend our lives complaining about things that are so trivial. God bless the entire Burrow family.

    The RFL have confirmed there will be a minute's silence to remember Rob Burrow before the Challenge Cup finals on Saturday. They have also asked everyone at Wembley to join in a minute's applause during the 7th minute of each of Saturday's games.

    An absolute measure of the man. Kevin Sinfield has plenty thrown his way by people - some of it unfairly, IMO. But he is a brilliant human being above all else, as this shows. The ultimate respect for him

    On a sad day what a brilliant picture that is. Shows you just what rugby league is all about. Stopped playing together 5 years ago and hes the first man there for him, proper mates

    If the disciplinary panel are serious about stamping ugly incidents out of rugby league then I’m afraid Tom Lineham should be looking at 10 games minimum for this coat.

    Not content with playing brilliantly for Warrington tonight, Ben Murdoch-Masila is now sweeping up the tunnel area at the Halliwell Jones Stadium! 😄

    Anyone started that petition yet for Sky to get Andrew Voss over for at least one year? Pay him whatever he wants

    I've watched on in awe of Kevin Sinfield this past week and felt compelled to write some words on it. He is a wonderful human in a world filled increasingly with hate. It would now be a travesty if he wasn't recognised at Sports Personality of the Year.
    Kevin Sinfield must be honoured at BBC Sports Personality of the Year
