Damien Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Pretty cool to see the iconic Kangaroos jersey. Apparently Grayson Waller is a Sydney Roosters fan: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copa Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 An Australian film maker in Hollywood has been using names from the Roosters in his films. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/watch-how-the-sydney-roosters-infiltrated-hollywood-but-didn-t-know-it-20240226-p5f7z3.html No paywall: https://www.printfriendly.com/p/g/Wr5jmc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvusxiii Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Ok, this is pushing it a bit but one of our number in Knaresborough mentioned to me about the Wig v Pen match. He'd watched the Rah Rah but was gushing about this match. From Rutland, this is the first time he's ever mentioned RL. This is the value of FTA on a prominent channel I think. 1 TESTICULI AD BREXITAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar experience. My mate said it was much more exciting to watch than the Wales v Ireland (Rara) match. My response ''Twas ever thus''. Suffice to say, his interest was piqued and he acknowledged a new found respect for the game and the players. Hiding the game away, for 30 odd years, hasn't done us any favours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopie Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 There's an ad for Dove in which the main character is a Rugby Union coach called Kavan, pretty sure the commentary in the background at the beginning is Rugby League's own Dave Woods Couldn't find a video of it separately but its at the bottom of this web page: https://respiceprospice.co.uk/events/event-1832/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a rugby league team in knaresborough for a while, I remember playing against them and getting a forearm smash to my face leaving me with a nice gash under my eye. They were a union team playing in the league summer season, not sure if still going. Facilities were dreadful, on a par with some of the worst rugby league grounds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
