Interesting to note (to me, at least!) that the season starts with two teams (Cov and Doncaster) having twin brother props playing.
I wonder what the chances of that are?

Also - good to note that this forum doesn't ridiculously censor people's names (i.e. Hancock). Refreshing change.

Yay - as they say.

Wonder how many teams have had two sets of twins at the same time, Donny have the Olowaofela lads as well as the Hancocks

[Kimbo]

Not many, I'll bet.
A shame they haven't both started today, or that would be an extraordinary statistic.
