Denny Recovers as Rugby Clashed with Paris Ground
Denny emerged from the manager's room relieved after doctors removed his shoulder bandages this morning and expects to be back in action soon. Castleford presents tough opposition on Wemdeday following their big Saturday win over Edington, with Atkinson moving to the center. Notable Saturday results include Oldham and St Helens Aeon overcoming strong sides like Leeds and Warrington as Australian rugby league debates intensify. Harry Sunderland released a broadside over Union hostility to the Australian club ground for the Farrs match and urged cross‑center appeal with a pamphlet translated into French promoting rugby league for amateurs or professionals alike. A delegation may visit Paris ahead of the Test, and Sunderland plans to fly to Paris after the Halifax fixture to recruit support for the Paris match.
