Dessie O'Hare Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Extra ball introduced in 2hd half to increase entertainment for armchair viewers. On Red Button only Try can only be scored whilst player is in mid-air. Compulsory TV ecision. Scoring Team nominate a one of their own players to leave the field after scoring. In the style of a 90s retro training drill. Try disallowed if a BAME player has not touched the ball during last phase of play, "There are only 5 functions of Internet FORUMS. . . . . . . . Brag . .

Damien Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Toulouse to be offered an SL place but turn around and say screw you why would we join Super League. Toulouse, Toronto and New York then join forces. Catalans, Wigan, Leeds, Saints, Warrington and Hull FC say I'll have a bit of that too. Brisbane Broncos take over London again and they too join. Newcastle backers want in and Avignon join. Fev and Leigh ask to join too and are allowed as long as they get no funding. Sky say yes please and say we'll give you 30 million a year. French TV then chips in 9 million. Everyone is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats been happening to us for ages. Oh by the way, I usually go for bragging, patronising, winding up, threatening and fawning in that order. I'm working my way towards the end of the line but not got to fawning yet. I'm holding out for a hero.I hope one appears, before I die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked as if he'd been hit by a lot of men, who hit a lot harder than me and survived. So I played the diplomatic card and shook his hand.

fighting irish Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Great player, great bloke. I met his son too, they had high hopes for him to play for Manly but I don't think he ever did. The article mentions ''The Valley'' which is an amateur Rugby League club based in Harbord, I think. I met a few of their players too. Here's Fred (in the middle) on the left is Graham Williams ex-Manly stand off, in black is ''Pommie John'' the then Valley hooker. I'm on the extreme right.
