Sam Burgess "Sometimes you have to feel the pain". Who says he's learned nothing from coaching Warrington?

Just been catching up on this morning's matches. When PNG get a bit of momentum, they are hard to handle.
They have come a long way from being the perennial plucky losers of the Pacific.

Currently watching The World's End. I've only seen this one a couple of times compared to the dozens of time for the other two, and while I do still like this I do think it is quite inferior to the others.
It is the weakest link in the Cornetto Trilogy by a fair distance.

I followed up Shaun of the Dead with Hot Fuzz yesterday. One of my all time favourite films. Watch it a few times every year and never get bored!
I visited Wells for the first time earlier this year and was very excited to visit the marketplace where that epic gunfight took place! Beautiful city and one of my favourite places in the country.
The editing and cinematography in Hot Fuzz makes it worth watching alone. That everything else is done at such a high level too is amazing, from the casting to the dialogue to the cast.

The House of the Lost on the Cape (2021)
Two girls arrive in a coastal town and are claimed as grandchildren by a cheerful old lady. They go to live in a mysterious house that looks after them.
The younger girl has been mute since her parents died in an accident, while the older one is a teenage runaway who is suspicious of everything and everyone.
Anyway, good wholesome things happen and both girls begin to open up as they experience kindness and generosity from the townsfolk.
However, supernatural danger from the distant past lurks nearby.
The incidental music isn't great and sometimes verges on the perfunctory, but the overall story carries it. -

The Women’s World Cup will have a new name on the trophy as it’s South Africa versus … India.
India chase down 341 with an over to spare to defeat the Aussies.
Wow!

Looking at famous folk from my neighbourhood, I see two notable people:
1. David Bedford. Not the former 10,000 metre world record-breaking runner, whose image was blatantly ripped off by the unfunny 118-118 TV adverts. Actually a composer who has worked with Kevin Ayers, Edgar Broughton, Mike Oldfield and A-ha.2. David Bedford.

The Lidl copies of Penguin bars can still be labelled as "chocolate coated", while the originals now cannot.
Reminiscent of the coin debasement that heralded the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, as the silver content of a denarius fell to significantly below that of barbarian coinage.

If you don't recognise the story arc, this refers to Lutz Pfannenstiel, a German goalie who has also played in all six FIFA confederations, been clinically dead three times while playing for for Bradford Park Avenue, negotiated a contract at gunpoint in Albania and coached in countries from Armenia to Namibia to Cuba.
As you might expect, his 2014 autobiography The Unstoppable Keeper is quite the read.

I've mainly avoided this thread, as most times I look, it's just personal arguments.
How long has the new website been up?

I missed the frst game, but there's already some physical edginess between Fiji and Nigeria.

If a club you don't like scores a try, you are permitted to post the phrase "mile forward", regardless of what happened.

I was thinking about Ellery and whether he actually played SL, or if he retired at the end of the preceding season.
