Raegan Moya- Jones. On-line access. Allen H. I was nervous telling my terminally ill mum we were expecting a baby, but she was overjoyed for us. It was mid- November. From that moment I wanted to tell his story. Read the full story of Judas Betrayed Jesus in scripture text below and find Articles, Videos and Audio Sermons relating to this enlightening story. Email me when available Stay one step ahead and let us notify you when this item is next available to order. It's the story of the player called 'Judas', Hull's most-hated rugby league son. After 21 games, which he scored one solitary try and was criticised for his defensive frailties, the former England national representative was sold to York City Knights — thus ending his brief stint at Hull FC. I spoke to mum almost every day. She had a tumour removed from her right breast, and then underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Paul also shed a tear as he thought about how much his mum would have loved to see the black and whites finally win at Wembley. His time in East Hull was dogged with more controversy, and while there were good times, he moved on to Wakefield before eventually turning his back on the game, to spend his time with his mother who had been diagnosed with cancer.

Clegg Chairman’s Message 2013 A warm welcome to visitors, old and new, as we embark on the 2013 Rugby League season; it seems like last season passed by in the blink of an eye. This season is, again, one of innovation for the Cumberland Rugby League with the advent of the Cumbria Men’s League and the Iggesund Cumberland League becoming the single Cumberland based competition. It has to be said that this is a positive step for the game in Cumbria as a whole. The Cumbria League will provide an intensely contested competition for the higher level clubs and the rejuvenated Cumberland League will mean that clubs get a better quality league with closer games and fewer matches conceded or having ‘blow-out’ scores. This, coupled with the successful transition to summer rugby, augurs well for the long term health of the game in our part of the world. Last season was another part in our learning curve here at Aspatria; a slow start meant that we were chasing the coat tails of our nearest rivals but a change at the helm, with Mike Hazlewood taking over, meant that we made some big strides forward.

  • Danny Buderus
    Danny Buderus NRL Legend, Assistant Coach & Keynote Speaker Danny Buderus, NRL legend and assistant coach of the Newcastle Knights, is a former Australian NRL international and New South Wales State of Origin representative hooker for the Newcastle Knights. In fact, Danny set a new record for the most games with the club as well as most appearances as captain of the New South Wales State of Origin team. Danny began his rugby league career in his hometown of Taree before being snapped up by Newcastle after trialling with both the Knights and St George. He made his first grade debut with Newcastle in 1997 and, by 2001, was playing for Country Origin, making his Test debut and touring with the Kangaroos. Over the following years, Danny was the recipient of a number of awards including Hooker of the Year for three consecutive years at the Dally M Awards. He also won Knights Player of the Year four times and the Knights’ Players’ Player of the Year trophy three times, an indication of the high esteem in which he was held by his club and team mates. In 2008, Danny announced that he had signed with the Leeds Rhinos for two years. His stint in the UK proved to be a successful one. In 2011, he captained the winning Exiles team in an International Origin game and also played in the Super League Grand Final for the victorious Leeds Rhinos. In 2012, Danny returned to the Knights to play under ‘super coach’ Wayne Bennett, much to the delight of NRL fans and all those involved in the game.
