That sounds like a challenge.

Great news!

Sly Stone, aged 82.

I have never seen a sentient being more Rugby Union to the core than Nigel the Phony Prole.

Bulldogs v Eels earlier today was a good game and an excellent attendance. https://youtu.be/t6vrtF_r-C4

A bit of a surprise, as he always was noted for being in great physical shape.

A search suggests that we did miss it. Good spot. And now I have added 1985's completely bonkers Lifeforce to my watch list, to commemorate him.

I slept in and caught up at leisure. These second half comebacks can't be good for Sticky's ulcers! As big Josh Papali'i broke the Raiders' record for games played, he also scored two tries and kicked a conversion. Marvellous! The commentator described the conditions as "a bit Yothu Yindi".

I'm sure there are lower estimates on the way.

A spitting allegation, and Jiffy reveals he was covered in phlegm in the early days of his Rugby League career. Maybe he should have tried speaking English instead of Welsh?

I think the Broncos were just happy to unexpectedly be in the final.

That's a monster drop-out!

PotM is Grace Banks.

The little girl in the stands with the "GO 2 ANNA" placard has just got her wish. A conversion from the touchline makes it STH 6:40 WIG.

They were "best of the rest" for the last couple of seasons, but have stepped up. The league now has a Big Four instead of a Big Three, and that's healthy for the game.

Grace Banks with a breakaway try!

Nice that the weather's cool enough to wear this without getting overheated.

Katie Mottershead gets Saints on the board with a try by the posts.

Meanwhile, there's a match on, and Izzy Rowe has just converted her own try to make it 0:24.

Now Bud’s done 30 days in the penitentiary for riding the rails, written a song with a warder who paid his way back to New York, enlisted with the Royal Artillery, bumped into future stage partner Chesney Allen in a café near Passchendaele, been shelled and temporarily blinded by gas, as well as meeting the absolute swine of a sergeant whose surname he adopted for stage use, just to needle him for the rest of his life. Still half of the book to go.

St Helens 0:18 Wigan at HT.

Nice try for Wigan there.

Over to the women's CC Final, as this game looks done.

Broncos are 28:0 up at half time. Walsh hasn't really cut loose yet, so maybe he's not 100%.

The Broncos are on fire! More than a point per minute so far.
