Mitchell Starc having 28 runs scored off his final over by Livingstone has cheered up my evening.

Thumbs up to the little scene-stealers mucking about behind the post-match analysis. Good to see some people can enjoy themselves. I'm sure they'll have the joy crushed out of them by the time they're old enough to pay for their own tickets.

I understand why the club re-signed Hampshire, but it really didn't work. Best for both parties that they let him go.

What? There have been some good games. Did your side lose or something? “Comparison is the thief of joy” (Theodore Roosevelt)

Adrian Lam looks like every second of that took a minute off his life.

Conversion missed, and that could be it.

The update was vague on details, but said that all the medical attention that was available had been brought to bear.

Emile Zola binned! Impeding another desperate chip-chase effort.

Ipape seals the match?

Fingers crossed for Josh.

His feet are moving, which is a good thing to see.

Brierley's on now.

The way Ipape spun out of the tackle was fantastic, but it still took a great pass to finish off the move.

Charnley!

I'm exhausted!

I need to get down there more often. The street food stalls in Granary Square are usually interesting, Caravan does interesting food/cocktails and actually good coffee, there's Dishoom for uncomplicated Parsi food and a whole lot more. They sometimes put a projection screen on a boat on the canal and you can watch a movie from the tiered steps on the other side.

We're having a combined staff meeting/leaving do/general social thing next month at The Parcel Yard, which is a pub inside King's Cross station. it is pretty much over the area where the old Red Star parcel depot used to be, hence the name. I've never been in, so I assumed it'd be a bit sawn-off and depressing like the station pub at York. You know, full of travelling salesmen in shiny suits looking like they want to die. But you can go inside with Google to navigate around, and it looks quite nicely done. It is a Fullers pub, but has guest beers too.

Second time today I've been confused by something on this website.

And also, bound to be overshadowed in the news bulletins but still a well=known voice to many, Snooker commentator Clive Everton MBE. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/snooker-mourns-voice-of-the-sport-clive-everton/ar-AA1rjsec?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=9e21fb2860b64f8cb8c812e16bfae7db&ei=24

The deal for non-UK subscribers was every single match, wasn't it?

A lot of Roosters just played their last game for the club. They are going to look very different in 2025.

I think the Storm could plead that it was an accidental high contact. We'll see.

Two quick-fire tries for the Roosters to start the second half!

Storm 22:6 Roosters at HT.
