Rugby League is the game they play in heaven. That's why Jesus picked 12 disciples and not 14!

Cheers for that, mate, I hadn't seen it anywhere else.

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.

I misread your first sentence and thought (briefly!) that you meant the article was written by Gled. :blush: In my defence, he has written stuff for the Bulls' website.

He sent me a text about it, too. At 11pm last night! I am NOT leaving my nice, warm bed to investigate a text message at that time of night. No way, Jose!

BTW, Mick, if you are reading this thread, I'm setting off from Thornaby at about 3:30pm on Friday and should be passing Bradford about 5:00pm. Text me if you're going, I might be able to give you a lift.

edit: Oh yes! A good read, that! Clearly stated detail of the anti RL bias in sections of the media.

Might be worth rolling out a few Tshirts if anyone's interested? :huh:
