Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.

Saw my first one today driving through Old Town, Swindon. I think it was a Widnes one. I was so excited I want to shout from my car "Look! A Rugby League lorry! In Swindon!" to all the other drivers and pedestrians.

It would of driven past my house too.

The pictures on the sides of the trailers will be taken by RU types as proof that all Rugby League players are the same size... :P

Not a Stobart truck - but have spotted a Heinz WCC ad in the leafy streets of Cheadle - obviously targeting Sales normal crowd! :wink:
