Hull KR v Wigan 1947 at Craven Park. Taken aged 8 by mum and dad. Wigan won and were awarded a controversial crucial penalty for a voluntary tackle near the Hull KR line with the scores almost level towards the end of the game. Haven't seen many penalties for voluntary tackles since!! The following year dad took me to see Hull v Australia at the Boulevard where I saw Clive Churchill play in a winning team. Hull issued a special souvenir programme for the match which featured a folding Sydney Harbour Bridge at the front in Aus.Kangaroo colours. Had it for over 60 years before losing it in a house move and have tried unsuccessfully ever since to locate a replacement.

Crowd at the MCG expected to be around 90,000. Support Queensland but think NSW will level the series up so providing a blockbuster decider at Suncorp next month. -

Jarryd Hayne. Charges of sexual assault are quashed after second appeal upheld. Incident goes back to the night of the 2018 NRL Grand Final. He was given a 5 year prison sentence last May. Is released on bail to await whether another trial(No 4) will go ahead. Probably not! -
Carcassonne and Albi took on Hull and Halifax in the one and only RL European Club Championship played back in 1956. Competition was between the 2 clubs who finished 1st and 2nd in the French and English Leagues and played with matches in both countries. Went to see Hull play in France. Trophy was won by Hull.

HT. Storm 16 Parra 10. Just before HT. Munster suffered what appeared to be a very serious groin injury which left him writhing on the pitch after a tackle. -

Not at all confident about us in this one. Will not be much in the margin of victory whoever wins. -

Fifita has changed his mind and signed for the Titans until 2026 after he agreed to commit to the 2 year extension option in his current contract. -
As an 11 year old back in 1949 I cried myself to sleep for a few nights after Bruce Ryan an Aus winger left Hull for Leeds. Had heard from my Aus relatives before he came in 1947 that he was a very good player. Was one of a crowd between 4-5 thousand who were there to greet him when he arrived in Hull by train. Idolised him and went to every match he played in Hull. If someone asked me today who was the best winger I had seen play for Hull I would answer Bruce Ryan.

Tago continues to be a defensive weakness this season. -
Bennett's last premiership success is good when compared with Ricky Stuart who last won one 22 years ago.

Foran looked OK running up and down the touchline near half time. Should be back. -

Was at the Wembley 1968 "Watersplash" CC final in 1968 (Leeds v Wakefield). These conditions reminded me of that epic match. So many memories from that occasion! -

Problem at the Storm between Nelson and Bellamy. According to reports Nelson was overweight and told to shed some kilos and has not responded quickly enough. Hence his absence from the starting squad. -

A lowlight...... Made no attempt to put his foot anywhere near the ball in his PTB's. Probably seeking to emulate Tedesco who can go a whole season of PTB's without his foot ever being near the ball.
