They've looked very dangerous on several occasions, and surely one or more of those opportunities will pay off.

Good game, and next to nothing in it at HT.

Charnley in a lot of pain, but staying on for now.

A nice run and pass from Wardle unleashes French for the first try of the game.

Mike Cooper went off hurt after a huge collision and now Kaide Ellis is receiving treatment. Could be a rotation problem for Wigan later in the game.

Early signs that this is going to be a tough game for both sides. Leigh have been very quick and aggressive in defence.

Just been visiting my dad, who is having a major clear-out of CDs he no longer wants or has duplicates of.

To'o on the end of a great move started by Liam Martin. Conversion missed - BRI 6:8 PEN

Looks like Reece Walsh is back.

I've been very happy with it. What with SL+, my WatchNRL sub and the various other outlets for the game (The Sportsman, the BBC, French and NZ live streams etc.), there's more live RL to watch every week than I can usually manage.

All newspapers have a store of obituaries for notable people. Sometimes the subject of the obituary outlives the author. My mum is (very) occasionally called on by the Guardian to do an obit for someone from her area/generation of music, but they tend to be "as it happens", rather than pre-written.

Decent game, this.

Want people to think you're a RL player? Position yourself behind someone who's about to stand up and point randomly to one side or another.

The way things are going, the Wallabies are going to be selecting players from a shrinking talent pool, with the NRL keeping closer tabs on school talent. That means fewer capped Australian RU players will end up in the NRL. But there are always late developers, so it isn't impossible.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Scotland, watch Still Game for a gently subversive laugh. Okay, you can get it on iPlayer South of the border, but it never occurs to me to do that when I'm at home. Plus Nick Cave has never been better than in his role as Boabby the Barman.

Today marks the 84th anniversary of the opening of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which served travellers well for, ooh, about 4 months. https://mulberryhall.medium.com/odd-this-day-5abe1733e1e2 .

Let's hope he sorts himself out and maybe comes back chastened and a bit more self-aware.

Good news; their new clubs can start working on them a.s.a.p.

There was a boat and a couple of canoes down on the water, where identifying puffins would be a lot easier. I assumed it would be a kite, but didn't get a great view of the shape, just the colours. In further news, my sister has just shown me video of a family of stoats in her garden, dancing like they're at a Prodigy gig.

Something good but a little off the mainstream list of names - Springbank, Clynelish, Glenfarclas or Caol Ila, maybe?

Wondering if, on that day, a young Johnny complained about Catweazle being on later than usual.

Should we narrow the scope of this thread to "people Johnny deems to be famous"? I'm voting no.
