At Headingley today for Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity. Trinity 8-6 ahead after 35 minutes. Good to see Lee Kershaw playing well. Very underrated player. I hope he stays free of injury this season.

Having said that, Liam Tindall has scored the try of the game to put Leeds ahead.

One of the great things about this game is the chance to see youngsters you’ve not seen before and new NRL signings as Renouf Atoni scores for Wakefield.

Lee Kershaw’s converted try puts Trinity 14 ahead and settles the outcome. It’s been an entertaining game but will it have any bearing on the season? We’ll see as they score again at the final whistle

Shocked to hear of a serious injury to former St Helens coach Daniel Anderson while surfing in Australia. Best wishes to Daniel for a full recovery.

Congratulations to former Super League CEO Robert Elstone in being awarded an MBE in the New Year's Honours List. But there's a yawning gap where Kevin Sinfield's name should be. Perhaps he turned down his knighthood!

Happy New Year to everyone and may your team win the title or promotion in 2023! @LeagueExpress will be out as normal in the shops tomorrow and online this evening.

And it was mission accomplished. When we talk about people who should be recognised for what they have done, Gary should be at the front of the queue. I believe he's now raised more than a million for charity. To call him Superman is almost to understate his achievement.

Very sorry to hear of the death of Bob Ashby, the Chairman of Featherstone Rovers when they won the Challenge Cup in 1983 and subsequently the Chairman of the RFL. A great lover of Rugby League who always had a nice sense of humour. My condolences to his family. RIP Bob

Can I pass on the condolences of everyone at @LeagueExpress to Logan's family and everyone who knew him. Desperately sad to hear this news. RIP Logan
