Sat 29 Aug: SL: Leeds Rhinos v Salford Red Devils KO 6.30pm (TV)

[DavidM]

Dear me Welham... Sio would have batted that back in , caught it beat 7 defenders and scored 

[DavidM]

Seriously though how poor is that set restart noise . It’s almost apologetic 

[doc]

Comeback is on.

[Manfred Mann]

People have for too long underestimated Nial Evalds.

[Just Browny]

Eh up, game on?

Does Watson just wait at the top of the stairs, ready to trot down after every try? Or is he constantly going up and down?

[DavidM]

That’s put that comeback to bed

Is that what it is. Thought it was traffic backing up on Winwick Road.

I think so , it keeps changing like they can’t quite decide which noise to use . 

[Manfred Mann]

No surprise that the Polish international prop Mikolaj Oledski should seal the victory for Leeds. That try will have warmed the hearts of many a ship builder in Gdansk tonight.

He’l undoubtedly be an England international, if we get a coach who accepts players born outside the country.

Great physique , very athletic . Looks the archetypal modern prop 

[DavidM]

Excellent decision by the ref . In the NRL taking the marker out is just a ‘ go back and play the ball ‘ which is ridiculous 

[Manfred Mann]

Mikolaj Oledski is only 22. He and 26 year old second rower Jack Gosiewski (Manly) should provide the core of a powerful Polish pack for many years to come.

And annoyed many of our Flag Waving cousins.

So was the poll skewed by a load of over-optimistic Salford fans, or is it just a surprise result?

[fieldofclothofgold]

Funny season .obviously,but still funny 

[Manfred Mann]

I thought that Nial Evalds had a great game tonight. It’s a pity that Salford were unable to retain the services of the talented Latvian international full back beyond this season. He has signed with Castleford for 2021. But at least Salford will be able to call on the talents of the French international full back Morgan Escare in 2021. The 28 year old from Perpignan has signed with the Red Devils for three years.

He has been here since he was 9.  He has played for the Knights. He played against PNG.  And amongst the large number of Knights selections in Wane's list last March was - Oledski...

So your sneering is misplaced.  

And on a related note I'd be happy to welcome Polish families to Britain as long as they pay their taxes and live an honest life. All the better if we find a tricky Nr7 who's the son of a former riveter.

No pizza for Salford..

It’s not sneering, the comment is justified from the quote from Wane below. Is Wane England Knights coach? I thought they had their own coach.

"We’ve got some great talent in this country and imagine how proud we’d all be to win something major like the World Cup and have done it with all purely English-born players. That would be my dream.”
