Very sad news. I'm sure his memory will be marked with great respect at Old Trafford.

Brilliant try by Lawrence. There's no doubt who are 'the entertainers' in this one, and it isn't Saints.

It was like that in Gloucester for NZ v Lebanon.

Not after that 'try' to Roby. Some miserable decisions by video refs in SL and the NRL this weekend.

I found it rather irritating that the Sky team gave the impression that Wigan were somehow awesome, and that Hudds were there just to make up the numbers. I don't think Clarky was too happy at having to explain 'how Huddersfield won it'. I can't see Wigan going on to take the big prize.

I always go for the underdog in situations like this, so that'll be Warrington. Fairly disappointing underdogs today though.

Pryce out. Makeshift halfs for Saints, in Wilkin and Moore. Has to be a Leeds win.

Well, I just signed up now, as I realised there is a gaping hole in Saturday mornings. The Rabbitos v Tigers (Burgess v Ellis) coming up, and I'll not see it.

Right on all points.

Catalans are no longer at the bottom of the table, and should also overtake Salford. Who would have thought it?

Thanks for the commentary Mick.

Apparently, Alan Carr's dad was the manager of Northampton Town, and was 'disappointed' at his son's chosen career path. So he says in his act.

I have never seen a redwing in my garden. If they have been there, I've failed to identify them. I had a bullfinch last week, but not in the hour allocated. Brilliant vivid red. I often get troops of rooks. I may have jackdaws, but have been mixing them up with carrion crows. I'm guessing you don't put out nyger seed?

Do it tomorrow, they'll never know. In a village, woodland garden, and backing on to farmland. I frequently see green woodpeckers, and as many as three at a time, and more rarely a lesser spotted, but not over the weekend, so that was a bit disappointing. I've not seen a siskin for quite some time, and they would normally eat nyger seed, if they could get past the goldfinches.
