If either get picked for Australia, i'd laugh for about 3 weeks.

Also advert free. I saw some analysis recently that quoted the number of shots seen in an hour, comparing the coverage from both events; only one winner from a fans perspective...

Why? I quite like the shirt, but this is bloomin lovely. However, from a wearability perspective, the blue chevron is a much better look on a non playing human that the above would be. Saying that, i find it odd that adults wear the shirts anyway.

Frees up more weekends for RLWC. Also, RUWC next year..

But the NZ players are from the NRL. This doesnt make sense.

Aus will be playing Samoa & Tonga. A long term schedule would be lovely.

No joy. Nothing for the game week before as well.

Looks like Newcastle on me todd as no-one is interested. I'll likely do that, semi and final. Just have to tell the wife now

Fan: "Ralph, I will not attend Elland Road" RFL: "But we have to make substantial savings" Fan: "I will not attend Elland Road" RFL: "But if we go there, we can keep RFL productions going with a skeleton staff of two..." Fan: "There's no point in finishing your sentence Ralph, i am not attending Elland Road" RFL: "But if we..." Fan: "i'll just speak over you. Go on, try and finish the sentence and see what i do. Go on!" RFL: "..." Fan: "i am not attending Elland Road, I am not attending Elland Road, I am not attending Elland Road!" I should be working really.

NYG v Green Bay at Tottenham. A bit of a shambles for tickets this morning. Specifically told by Ticketmaster not to queue until 09:30 for a 10:00 sale. I log in at 9 to get prepped and already 70k people in the queue. Lots of tickets already on resale through 'tout' sites, though i question the validity of these. Still in queue. It's the hope that kills you..

I was jesting, calm doon hen

Semi final tickets arent cheap are they!?

I think i've asked this before, sorry. How do Semi Finals work? If England win the group and then beat Wales in QF. Do we play in London or will i be really hating my adventure to Elland Sodding Road. Also, who do we play?

This descent could be mad. I'm very excited.

Thomas goes. Come on G!

Back together and away he goes again. So explosive.

Eurosport baby! Pog goes early.. could be a great afternoon this.

Potentially the best player in league. Sigh

There's a glimmer of hope that he's still in his 'comfort zone' in terms of how many times he's gone into the red and that he could challenge tomorrow. Only a glimmer as Pog v Vin are on a different level in terms of their explosiveness.

These 2 are too good and they're so enjoyable to watch! Future of grand tour cycling is looking great.

Cheers. I might try and watch this.

Few short attacks days then all boils down to Thursday. Not ruling out Geraint just yet given the top 2 have no riders left...

Thomas just doesn't have the aggressive attack in him, so he'll be 3rd. Race for the top 2 is very lovely. Really enjoying this years tour and with a few hilly stages and 1 mega mountain left, i'm really looking forward to seeing them go at each other.

Echoed.

This. However, i also think a decent go forward comes on the back of an option on the edges. NSW seem to be focussed on quickness behind the ruck rather than a 2/3 man shift. Maybe this changes if you have Turbo and Wighton in the centres rather than Burton and Crighton.
