+42 points in Sky Bet. Every result on Sky Bet was 2 points out from the handicap. Leeds had +10 and Bradford +8. I naturally was the wrong side of all 3

Not to mention how it affects Magic Weekend.

Why have they gone with a circus tent theme? Is that why it says "the greatest show"?

Has anyone suggested cheap tickets yet?...

It's the equivalent of being forced to use a 1-17 system, then changing your line up so your 1-4 are on the bench and then moving the line up on the field. It was really petty and only made the international game look small fry.

What if the wingrrer gets injured and they move their 1 to the wing and 6 to full back? Won't that confuse them?

Less than 7k for an NRL game?

Second season syndrome for Sam?

What kind of boxing scoring are you using here? I've never seen it.

Saints look like a team with some great individual players that can make amazing plays. They do not look like a team. That's the difference between Saints 2018-2023 and Saints 2024-5.

I don't think that's practical, as much as it seems common sense for this incident. You can't just go again because you're not sure what happened. You need to know what happened as an official! I get it for play the balls if the player can't hear the official call held.

Ironically, the game finished at exactly 22:22.

That was one of the most disgusting cop outs I've ever seen from officials. It was a yes or no decision. He was either on it or he wasn't. Saying inconclusive there just means they have no bottle to overturn the referee. It clearly wasn't taken over the line, so either it's play on or our penalty. Awful awful officiating all night. The only conclusive decision that can be made.

Yeah I've no issue with Rapana yellow. Feared it would have been red compared to the other "yellow".

That was my fear. Well, the game's gonna blow out a bit now. Great.

In fairness, half of ours are out too. Already shifting players around.

Don't even know what to think. Still not used to us winning any games! Could be close, could get hammered. I'd be ecstatic if we won, but again would be happy with another committed performance where they put in their all rather than roll over.

I wouldn't say they're in fear of the club. They're justifiably in fear of the repercussions of what would happen to the sport if a club dropped out mid-season.

Can see why they've done Headingley. 3rd test can be touch and go, especially if we're 2-0 down. I'm glad they've been ambitious with the other 2 so 2 out of 3 ain't bad, as they say. Looking forward to getting tickets.

Exactly what I said. Perfect for what we need at the moment in terms of adding depth and experience.

Is that official?

The fact is they have in the not too distant past been able to achieve this, unlike pretty much anyone else in the Championship. They have the facilities to be able to do it, despite being pretty dated. Their games against Leeds would easily bring in large crowds. Would they average 10k+ straight away? Unlikely, but it wouldn't be far off IMO due to the bumper gates they'd get that the others couldn't. A SL with even an average performing Bradford would be an improvement.

Well yes, that's what the rankings are for. If they just picked anyone, what's the point of the rankings?

Neither of those are favourites to win the comp or have just knocked off a SL team in the cup. Not to mention have averaged 15k crowds this millennium or attracted regular league game crowds of 20k, won a major trophy this millennium or have as big a brand as the Bulls (admittedly not as big as it once was obviously). Other than a decent ground, which at least has a history and a large capacity with a decent camera-facing stand, they are sorely missed in SL, especially their rivalry with Leeds which used to be one of the major fixtures of the season.
