The Art of Hand and Foot Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just read the interview with Stuart Raper in league express. His comments about the Oldham v Australia game were interesting. Because the Aussies were bigger, faster and more skilful, Ray Ashton asked "what can we do then?" , Bruiser Clarke replied "We cheat " . Stuart Raper says that we "got away with it". Heh heh heh. I remember the teams lining up for the national anthems and Bruiser throwing the ball into the face of one of the Aussies. I knew then we were in for a cracker.

The Art of Hand and Foot Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Re watched the game on YouTube. M'barki also had a blinder. He made a break from full back position and booted the ball and chased, nearly came off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussie commentator says 'they're not making much headway" , then worrall opens his legs and shows his class , as they say. Fantastic break.

Dave Naylor Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I think I've mentioned this before but ho-hum. I was at the Aussie game and bought the commemorative tie which looked like a menagerie. A kangaroo, an owl, a Lancashire rose, and something else that I can't remember. Some time later I went for an interview as part of an accelerated promotion system at work. I had the workplace experience, I knew my stuff and I was good at my job but my educational pedigree was ordinary. I realised before I went for the interview that I didn't really have a chance so I wore the tie as a bit of a two fingers up at the establishment. During the interview, a panel member asked about the tie and wondered if it was a university tie or college thing. I said "No, it's Oldham rugby league". I could see him striking out my name before I'd finished the sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
