I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Phil Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’ve never given a job to anyone who lists yawnion in their interests, in fact a few years ago I deliberately let the captain of one of the local yawnion clubs get to the last interview stage whilst never intending to offer him a job.

Pete Grady Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Suave, sophisticated Jeremy Gusgott of TinBath and Ingland Yawnion used to take questions about Yawnion from the Public on the BBC Sport website and so I asked him the following question: 'Hi Jeremy, With Union players now being fitter, taller and faster than when the game first started, there is obviously less room on the pitch for tries to be scored. What do you think about my suggestion of making the game better by taking the flankers out of the game, scrapping lineouts and mauls in an effort to make the game faster with more tries scored?' He choose not to answer my question..... I wonder why? 'The Invisble Man is at the door'. 'Tell him I can't see him'.

One very popular League talk back show had one p. ftzsmmns on board. I rang in once and asked to talk to Peter, generally the ratio was about 50 calls for League, one union. He enthusiastically took my call. I said; ' Peter how does rugby union make a game that only goes for 80 minutes feel like it goes for 3 hours ?". There was a stunned silence as ftzsmmns attempted to gather his thoughts while all the League commentators roared laughing. The union pundit on League shows lasted about 6 months.

RLX111 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 If you want a decent Rugby League item -for Christmas- try London Transport Museum Shop-see website.-listed as a set of Rugby Mugs. Just got the presentation box set of 4 decent sized mugs each bearing RL cup final posters 1929-33 -going to use mugs and stash memorabillia in box which is decorated inside as well.

Unfortunately “You won't find Rugby League World in the shops, we will only available on subscription in print or digital format as we take into account the changed post-Covid landscape to to deliver the very best quality Rugby League reading direct to your door.” - I have the staff in WHSmith busy with just Forty20 but I have now moved on from only covering the kick n clap mags to American Football also.
