Great to do parkrun last Saturday. Brilliant turnouts and positive media

I have to say my enjoyment of the NRL was on the wane due mainly to the raft of rule changes but after the World Cup stitch up its holding even less appeal. I’ll watch my team the Roosters when on Sky & maybe the Raiders but that will be it I’m afraid,what a sad state of affairs.

I am informed by the stats that pop up on the right hand side of this page on my laptop view that I have made more posts in this thread than the next three people put together. I guess that goes some way to demonstrating how much I enjoy the NRL and love seeing Brits do well over there. But after the events of the last week or so I won't be watching any more NRL for the foreseeable future and so I will just hope the established Brits carry on doing well and the likes of Dom Young, Bailey Hodgson and Harry Rushton fulfill their potential. I hope things change (as I hope the NRL reverses it's one eyed view on the World Cup and International Rugby League), in which case I will be back and chatting about all things NRL. But not until then.

Always been thick people … just nowadays there’s more quiz shows to showcase it !

V’Landys turning the game into a non contact sport,he’ll be putting hoops on the crossbar next.

Derbyshire and England cricketer Mike Hendrick, 72. I saw him bowl once on a grey morning at Chesterfield with a wicket like a Cornish Yarg cheese. I don't think the batsmen hit a single one of his first 24 balls. The first one who did edged it to Bob Taylor.

It was. People were crying at ours! I absolutely smashed the run as well. Best time in a 5K since 2015 and my 6th best parkrun time ever.

Good point. Though I do wonder, who has told these people they are intelligent enough to go on a quiz show? Or how egotistical are they that they think they are intelligent enough??

Have no interest in the NRL any longer; less how the Brits are getting on. Glad to see Thompson is going well. Great player who has masses more potential.

If it happened in SL, it would be poor SL defence. In this case, it was poor NRL defence.

Children of the Earth was probably the best thing ever to come out of the Whoniverse , I can remember people at work who never watched Doctor Who/Torchwood talking about it and saying how good it was . Back to the upcoming series , I too am looking forward to it , I want to see the conclusion of the Timeless Child arc and to find out who or what are " The Division "

I watch these quiz shows and I just swear people are getting stupider. I was watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire earlier and the question is, 'The J. Edgar Hoover Building is the headquarters of which organisation?' the options given are, 'FBI, CIA, UN or NATO'. The woman immediately says, "I know J. Edgar Hoover was the head of the FBI". She then mulls over it for 10 minutes and uses 2 lifelines before giving the FBI as her answer and of course getting it right.

You’re still watching the NRL? After this week?

Watched Mythic Quest on Apple. I liked it. Based in a video game production house, with enough geeky nods to gaming. Both series have a stand alone episode (2 in series 2) that are much less comedy/played straight, but are actually the best episodes. Also Ted Lasso is back.

After Fridays night's game (Goole v Ackworth) I was prepared for our home game Moorends v Woodhouse Warriors (Leeds) Sadly our club got the dreaded call that they only had 8 players available around 1.20pm saying they wouldn't be travelling. This news was a massive blow to us as our division (YML Div 5 South) could well be decided on points difference come the end of the season with Sherwood Wolf Hunt and Sheffield Hawks in the driving seat in this department. I then travelled to watch the Bentley v New Earswick game only to find that one was also off. I ended up watching a game from our division between Kinsley Hotel Raiders v Dearne Valley Bulldogs. After missing the first 20 minutes I was treated to a game of very entertaining rugby league football with both teams looking well above a division 5 status, Dearne Valley ran out comfortably winners 46 - 4 on the scoreboard but IMO the score didn't reflect the effort put in by Kinsley and how close the game had been. We don't have a fixture for the next two weeks (Challenge cup this week and a wedding the week after) so I'll be taking a game in this Friday, I'm looking to go and watch Doncaster Toll Bar v Goole Vikings, the following weekend I'm in Newcastle so I'll look for a game to go to up there.

Luke Thompson's first stint last night was really high quality. Strong defence, quick play the balls and good work rate.

I thought Tom Burgess, Ryan Sutton and Luke Thompson were all good in the middle of the park this week.
