Old Frightful

With apologies to Saints fans...

I've just watched the highlights and was rather taken aback when Aispuro-Bichet was taking a conversion from the touchline and the half time hooter sounded just as he was in the run up to kick it. Was that a bit of gamesmanship from the Toulouse outfit? Never seen that before in all my years of watching RL. I wonder if Catalans would have asked to take the kick again had he missed it.

Vera Lynn perhaps?

The plumber’s ring?

That has Derek Beaumont’s influence all over it, rather sadly.

Ref is losing control of this which is a shame as it’s an excellent contest.

Absolutely nothing wrong with Charnley’s tackle then, ridiculous.

The BBC presentation is a bit disappointing when you know what’s going to happen before it appears on the screen because the crowd lets you know first.

This is a belting game! It’s just like watching Hull FC…. Oh sorry, as you were…

I bet Jagger was surprised to be playing opposite Wood this afternoon...

Indeed, but being a Hull FC fan, one place above Huddersfield, it's all doom and gloom with me! No try!

6-10!

Boo!!!

Jagger scores for Huddersfield.

I have told this story before but anyway... Some years back, I spent a couple of nights in Faversham with my then gf. We were in a pub and the landlord came over to us asking if we liked the piped music being played. Turns out it was his son in law's band and they were doing a gig in the pub in a few weeks' time. I explained that we weren't local and wouldn't be able to attend. He asked where we were from and I replied "Hull, East Yorkshire". He replied "Oh, I have friends in Washington". I genuinely thought that, for some bizarre reason, he was just creating conversation by saying he knew people in the United States. Seeing my puzzled face, he added "Tyne and Wear", as though this was some kind of justification. I pointed out that Hull to Washington was almost two thirds the distance that Hull to Faversham was. He went off to collect some more glasses.
