17 stone giant

In true rugby league style are you going to change your mind after a few months, with your new dissertation being an analysis of the life and times of NIgel Wood?

Yes, I remember him switching to union. Maybe he'll one day return to league and manage a SL or NRL club. Perhaps England too. Would you have him at Leigh?

Ok. Sorry, I still don't fully understand what you're getting at regarding Farrell regarding his loyalties. Can you please explain?

Showing my player knowledge there.

Queensland should have done better there. The long haired guy made a poor pass.

Not sure why you think money would have any relevance. I'm sure Andy Farrell understands that sometimes major sporting events clash.

Stadium looking fantastic. Can't beat a night game for creating an atmosphere. No preference who wins, just hope for a good game.

From what I read, the tv audience in Australia will significantly favour watching State of Origin. So if Sky operate in Australia, I would recommend they put S o O on their main event channel.

It almost sounds too good to be true. I wonder what the reasons are for this increase, and whether it will continue in future years.

Sacked again. That's twice in two days.

The main event is the British and Irish Lions match against the Brumbies. I'd say that's probably fair, given that it's a UK audience.

The problem with shows like that is that there isn't anyone to challenge the opinions given. They all just agreed when some of the stuff being said was utter garbage. The discussion on Great Britain being one example. I love the Aussies trying to claim that the switch from GB is what made them less interested in internationals. I now realise that the reason they didn't play us in 2019 is because it would have been impossible to safely control the millions who would have been storming the stadiums wanting to see this amazing brand.

They have earned the luxury of taking their time. And it's no great hardship to continue batting. Most of the team will have their feet up relaxing, and the much criticised lower order gets a chance to have some pressure free time at the crease. Plus it makes the defeat all the more comprehensive. I would have done the same if I was India. As I said previously, there is an air of cockiness about Bazball, so I don't blame Gill for dragging it out and basically humiliating us.

Yeah, good one.
