Similar situation to Mark Applegarth at Wakefield in 2023

Going to be a tough ask for Trinity, they're very light in the forwards whereas HKR have a good pack and may steamroller us down the middle then release their backs. I like HKR and didn't mind our lads doing them a favour last week by beating Wigan. Trouble is, IF we did win on Friday we'd be doing Wigan a favour and that would never do,

I always remember being behind the posts at The Boulevard in the late eighties watching Wakey get another flogging, when a young teenage girl walked along the bottom around the curve pushing a pram with a toddler in, probably around three years old. A few choice comments and observations came from from the crowd, at which point the toddler just gave the crowd the middle finger.

Always enjoyed listening to Garry and reading his page in LE. I didn't always agree with him but I always got the impression that he still had a great passion for the game and the way he felt it should go. They were his opinions, not right, not wrong, just like we all have our own opinions. As a player he's been there, done it ang got the 'T' shirt and has my utmost respect for a fantastic career albeit one that could have and should have yielded more silverware. All the best for the future Garry.

A few years ago I seem to remember a "What Happened Next?" question on A Question of Sport which showed an England women's rugby union player trying to charge down a kick at goal which was failing miserably and managing to tip it over the bar.

Ray Tennant looked as though he was enjoying himself in amongst them. Was he swinging a few himself?

What's the best game you've been to?
Rioman replied to wakeyranger's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Wakefield Trinity v Australia in 1990. Not a game of silky skilled flowing rugby league but plenty of excitement, some decent tries (Andy Mason), loads of biff, plenty of red and yellow cards, Bobby Fulton's verbal set to with Harry Gration after the match, all played in monsoon conditions. -
2016 First State of Origin in Sydney. Queensland won 6-4. Travelling to the game on the train and the build up in the stadium was great, then they kicked off. I'd finally got to a SoO and ticked one off my bucket list, but was so disappointed with the game. Having watched many of them on tv over the years there always seemed to be some great footy, great tries and a fair bit of biff but at this one I was bored. I've watched most of the following ones on tv since and have seen some great games but this one just left me thinking, " is that it?".

Makes a change from the Aussies dictating who refs the game.

Look here, the match will be played under whatever rules the Australians tell the RFL they're having.
