Cas & Leeds uncovered terracing are great if it’s not raining

You don’t have a tree And your smile has a fee All the same, he’s a card For your boring facade Jingle bells, piney smells All the boys and girls Say it’s cliched To be cynical At Christmas, Oh it’s cliched To be cynical At Christmas HMHB - Trouble Over Bridgewater. April 2000.

I spoke to my little Staffordshire granddaughter this morning to see if she had enjoyed the final and she loved it. She got a half&half scarf and one of those bloody annoying horns. But what was also really good was two of her friends went as well, they had never been to a sporting event before and probably had never heard of RL before. But they also had half&half scarfs and England RL bob-hats, which they needed as i thought it was freezing.

We had some rugger u**** fans sat at the side of us and they absolutely loved it. They said “the skill,pace,defence of the Aussies is on another level to anything in their code”. There was a good atmosphere for the men’s game as there was no ###### up foul mouthed idiots around who can spoil events. We didn’t hang around for the Aussies lifting the World Cup, it was bloody freezing.

I had never watched wheelchair RL before this RLWC and if someone would’ve told me id be sat on the edge of my seat watching the final, id have said “off your pop i won’t be watching that”. Ruddy hell the wheelchair RL has been amazing and im glad i witnessed it.

I’m going but i don’t know how i am getting there, and ive not a clue where i’ll be sat, i just hope it doesn’t rain. I’ll be shouting for NZ & Samoa.

Hufanga what a fantastic player. I hope NZ they win the World Cup.

Definitely can’t knock England’s effort but NZ’s defence has been solid. I’m not really up on the women’s game but the No12 for England is an excellent tackler.

Halfway through Saints season in 2022 and near the end of the season i had a few heated arguments with some of my mates at the games when i said “i don’t understand all the hype over Knowles”. He has become more of a liability than anything, with his discipline. If (and it would be a massive if) a NRL club came in and offered Saints £150,000 id bit their hand off.

Will any of the top bigwigs look at the off the field negatives & positives of this RLWC. Then hopefully we can learn from the mistakes ready for the next WC in France ?.

Lest We Forget

###### i thought if i didn’t bother watching it then i might bring NZ some luck, so instead i watched Birmingham/Sunderland. I did that for the last RLWC final and it didn’t work then either , i won’t be doing that anymore .

YES that is why i am so antisocial and i never get any visitors, after ive told them not to bother coming round as i won’t let them in.

I don’t go to games on my own but at times i wish i did because there is always someone who just wants to babble whilst you’re trying to watch the match. They’re the type that go to gigs and it’s yap yap yap, go to the bar, yap yap yap.

I know the other code in Wales is bigger than football but how do their gates compare to the Welsh professional football clubs.

I like both the home & away kit but they’re not the right material for me. I have never bought anything from O’Neills but quite a few Saints fans say their quality is poor.

I believe Franny Lee used to be accused of diving but ive not a clue what year he played.

I loved the enthusiasm of the French girl who the bbc spoke to at HT. The more international’s for the women’s game the better. I’ll be going early to OT to watch the women’s final before the men’s.

Cummin ova ear.

Ah yes the Coventry fans are not keen on those pests.

Is there any bitter rivalry between pro football & u**** clubs around the U.K. ?.

I do have to admit if a town or city have a football and a u**** club I always want the footy club to do well.

I luckily managed to pay mine off in one go after i told my kids, grandkids etc etc to club together and get me a ST, i am very fortunate. I got the info sent through post as well Toppy a few weeks ago, Saints are very good at keeping the fans up to date with what’s going on, even those who haven’t got WiFi. We are blessed to have such a well run club and i pray it will continue even when i am dust.

I bought my Saints ST and it was £226. As far as i can remember i don’t think Saints have mentioned for a while how ST sales have gone.

What a fantastic thrilling match.
