Do they wash the baby with the dishes where you come from?

I watched the Leeds v Castle final at a pub in Allerton Bywater which is only a stones throw from Wheldon Road. I was expecting it to be solid Cas, but it was virtually all Leeds fans.

Fevnut, you need to emigrate to Australia. The Aussies are obsessed with stats, you would be a superstar over there. (Keep up the good work)!

When Tino Fa'asuamaleaui gets there his name will carry on round the front of the shirt.

I have a union-playing mate who entered as one of a team of props in a 7s tournament. They scored first, then again, then the opposition discovered that they only had to boot the ball down field and the wingers cleaned up. They returned to the clubhouse and within an hour every team member had bought a round.

I think posters on here should be banned from posting anything about the club they support, because they are incapable of giving a balanced view.

Does anyone know how many US fans travel to the European NFL games?

I think a dairy-free round would be a good idea for both NRL and Super League......no milking.

That's because VAR is a disaster.
Do you really think that without VAR the moaning would stop? The same replays would be shown, the same technology used, there would be just as many moaners wanting VAR back. Same for RL.

I'm glad someone had the balls to call this out.

Will they bring their own referee? (Another possible moan).

Why not a compromise with the names on the back of their shorts (instead of those ridiculous bum-sponsors)?

I think part of the trouble is that the definition and frame rates over here are often sub prime. The NRL camera operators also have excellent positional sense.

Fantastic game. The standards were incredible, and for every RL fan bemoaning the lack of tries, I’ve seen tweets from newbies who were enthralled by the whole contest and the incredible fitness levels.
Agreed. The match that got me hooked, I went along with my mate and his dad, was Swinton v Australia, a long time ago. The score? 2-2

As a sports historian you need to read The Forbidden Game by Mike Rylance. This will explain the antipathy towards Rugby Union expressed by some posters.

Seeing the Southern team again in the CC set me thinking (always dangerous). Is hoisting, union line-out style, permitted in the laws? I could see it being useful in short kick-off or dropout situations.

I'd say crusher tackle and hip-drop are the biggest penalty earners these days. Very few of them are genuine

...and making even more, probably. His 50 yard kicks for Keith Fielding to chase swung many a match for Salford.

No disrespect to anybody, but I'd say the dearer one is a bit better value.

Can we get back to season ticket sales eh!
What a brilliant idea. Best seats at Penrith Panthers work out at £22.50 per match.

Do the NZ soccer team do a haka? I can imagine after a head contact like that both players would be rolling on the floor.

In the Stoop era, walking down to the ground I heard a female southern English 20 something say to her Aussie boyfriend "if I hadn't met you I would never have heard of London Broncos." A horribly plausible scenario.
So true. In the Ealing era I met someone who lived round the corner from Trailfinders but had never heard of London Broncos.

I think it's more likely to be the St Hippolyte about 25km north of Perpignan. I stayed on a vineyard there once in my campervan.
