well I am looking forward to the Guana batz and the spunyboys in November - different levels i think 

I am happy to accept that people have different tastes in music.

But from a Rugby League perspective, why is an unknown band from the 80's better than a well known band from the 2000's?

never said one thing was better than than the other - of course I wouldn't expect any of my stuff to be on but theres a glut of mediocre around to choose from - uninspiring rubbish = totally predictable choice

quality what ? quality manure?  one of the worst and most overrated bands  of the past 20 years - utterly insulting to people who know the slightest thing about music

think we are a bit off topic here

There's a youtube clip of Peacock putting Mason on his backside in Sydney. It has, what turns out to be an embrace song playing. It's a fantastic watch.

Anyway, doing some work and the song randomly comes onto my Spotify shuffle as that's what shuffles do.. Immediate and mega goosebumps and i cant explain how excited i am all of a sudden.

Embarrassingly, I find that video moving on a scale you wouldn't believe.  After watching it countless times, when Mason takes Long out, I still go haywire.

Remember watching the game live with my girlfriend all those years ago, and as the ball starts to move out to Raynor, screaming "We're in here! We're in!".

Kaiser Chiefs the pre-match entertainment for the Newcastle game.  That's pretty good, they are quality.

Of course, if you like what is known as music for the "hard of thinking"

Yeah, true.

I'd prefer a Bartok string quartet.

No, really, I would.

Thanks for that.  Let me know what you like and I will slag it off.

To be fair, he's a Leigh fan, so we all do that anyway

Yep, that about sums it up, that stuff called rapping is mainstream popular and that has as much connection with music as Henderson Gill had with winning a beauty contest.

Harry, this isn't a music forum, is it?

Given over 99% of the people on "actual" music forums know less than zero about music, I don't think we should be debating it here.

Seriously.

 Edit. The xxxxx wasn't derogatory by no means it was a fun jab in the ribs, but the auto censor for some reason didn't like it.

I do if we dont get vaguely back onto world cup players and squads 

[Tex Evans Thigh]

This might help. Just checking the squads and the website has usefully taken the last letter off the end of the Fiji player's names. I am looking forward to seeing tbc tbc playing though, great young prospect but a bit of an unknown.

Whatever my views are, I have been told there is nothing wrong with a bit of diversity.

I will watch that video 4-5 times in the week leading up to the World Cup kick off, I do every time there is test rugby.

Right, you've convinced me, watching it now. Expect tears and expletives.

Here. If anyone else wants to join in:

Wane apparently might be using players that's not in the 24 man squad for the world cup in the warm up game this week against fiji. Is that a good call? That's definitely confusing and it doesn't make any sense at all

New Zealand are doing it to. They are including the likes of Willie Isa and Thomas leuluai In the Leeds game.

That I understand because they're playing a club team like Leeds and they had 7 players in the nrl final. England are playing a international team. Wouldn't you want to make the most of that match to get the combination right? Because I know for sure fiji will

I doubt he’ll want to play players who played in the GF. So probably giving other players in the squad a game and they need a few bodies in to make up the numbers.
