Went the game as well…….bloody cold wasn’t it. Good game. Haresfinch getting into good positions, but couldn’t finish. Great defence by OSJ though. Orrell deserving the victory. A great turnout to witness it.

I'll be following their season. Probably out of curiosity. Love an underdog.

Seems like some are picked up by the AFL. https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/the-players-ensuring-the-irish-experiment-continues-to-endure-as-new-afl-season-begins/41447225.html

Or decline even further…………fingers crossed eh !!

Rugby union hacks....

Here’s a screenshot.

Applied to join League one in 2026.

Great shirts. They've had plain black before though. As London Crusaders. I like a bit of retro....

Clark is off to St Helens. Signed ages ago.

Had quite a few items from here. Might seem a bit expensive but you get what you pay for. Excellent quality. 50% sale on loads of items at the moment, including plenty of RL pieces.

They were our half backs. Twins.

I’m red/green colourblind…..but it’s never been an issue for me on the playing field. In fact, my schoolboy rugby shirt colours were red and green hoops……or were they green and red ??

Hamstring. He pulled up in training prior to the Grand Final.

No….Athletico Kimberley apparently. Nearest club to the stadium to find some shirts after France and Hungary turned up in their change white shirts.

Why is the co commentator calling North Wales Crusaders “Wales” all the time……it’s starting to irritate me……….

Is it a borrowed kit ? The Serbian kit is very ‘French’. Reminds me of when the France football team borrowed a green and white striped kit in the 1978 FIFA World Cup. Yes I am that old…

The 2023 Players’ Dream Team for the NRL competition is: Fullback: Reece Walsh Wingers: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak & Brian To’o Centres: Herbie Farnworth & Stephen Crichton Five-Eighth: Cameron Munster Halfback: Shaun Johnson Props: Payne Haas & Addin Fonua-Blake Hooker: Harry Grant Second Rowers: Haumole Olakau'atu & Liam Martin Lock: Patrick Carrigan

Not happening according to the BBC….

Hopefully not too serious. Was pictured, post game, out on the pitch with the rest of the team, bag of ice taped to his shin.

Wellens…..?? I’d have Radlinski…..

Another big game from Herbie Farnworth. His 12th try of the season and 8 tackle busts. https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/07/27/broncos-v-roosters---round-22-2023/

Hawaii has a history of staging pro sports events. NFL Pro Bowl, NFC v AFC All Stars game. Huge Polynesian presence….I think it would go well.
