Brodie Croft - Man of Steel
Old Frightful replied to SalfordSlim's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
BREAKING NEWS : Following a successful appeal by St Helens, the RFL are delighted to announce that the 2022 Man of Steel Award will be taken from Brodie Croft and given to that nice young deserving man Jack Welsby. -
A mate of mine was lucky enough to buy this photo off an internet auction site some time back. He's been in the RAF most of his life so it held a particular interest for him and he's had it reframed. He sent the following note with it : "Here’s another piece of history for you, bought this large original photo a few years back and re-framed it. WW1 relaxed the inter-code feud and led to ‘mixed RU/NU’ representatives playing together in military teams. This photo was taken at Headingley. Hull FC’s Jim Devereux is featured as well as Huddersfield & GB’s Harold Wagstaff. There are NU players on both teams." So, some famous names amongst the gathering, anyone throw any more info about the game?

We just have to hope that either the RFL twitter and facebook accounts have been hacked or they realise how corrupt they appear right now and backtrack with the excuse that they've been hacked.

The Queen...a nice story...
Old Frightful replied to Old Frightful's topic in Any Other Business / Any Other Sports
Like I said, I so hope it's true, but as with a lot of stuff on the internet, it may well not be. If you haven't got anything good to say, please don't bother. Thanks. -
Found this on t'internet and I so hope it's true... A funny and true story about the Queen: Around 2005, the Queen and her Personal Protection Officer, Dick Griffin, were walking alone one afternoon in the hills near the Scottish royal castle, Balmoral. Two tourists approached them, and engaged in conversation. Griffin recalls: "There were two hikers coming towards us, and the Queen would always stop and say hello. "They were two Americans on a walking holiday. "It was clear from the moment we stopped that they hadn't recognised the Queen, which was fine. "The American gentleman was telling the Queen where they came from, where they were going next, and where they'd been in Britain. "I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty: 'And where do you live?' "She replied: 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.' "He said: 'How long have you been coming up here?' "She replied: 'I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.' "You could see the cogs whirring, so he said: 'Well, if you've been coming up here for over 80 years, you must have met the Queen.' "Quick as a flash, she said: 'I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly.' The hiker then asked Griffin what the monarch was like in person. "Because I was with her a long time, and I knew I could pull her leg, I said: 'Oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour.' The next thing I knew, this guy comes round, puts his arm around my shoulder, and before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, GIVES IT TO THE QUEEN, and says: 'Can you take a picture of the two of us?' "Then we swapped places, and I TOOK A PICTURE OF THEM WITH THE QUEEN. "And we never let on, and we waved goodbye. "Afterwards, Her Majesty said to me: 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to his friends in America, and hopefully someone tells him who I am'." Rest in Peace Your Majesty

I've had hotel rooms and match tickets available for MW several times before and offered them on here and I don't think I had any interest at all, mind you, it involved sitting near me so I can't blame anyone. Your best bet to offload them is Facebook Marketplace or Ebay, I reckon but prepare for people hoping to get them for a lot less than you want, it's the way of the World at the moment, sadly. Best of luck.
