One question though - I see the clock is counting up. I'm sure I watched a game recently (might have been on BBC Super League show) and the clock was counting down. Am I mistaken or does it vary sometimes? Think it counts down on the Channel 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, they would have given the first ever programme shown on there back in 1982. 1 "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out.

It’s almost enough to make me switch it off. I can’t abide that kind of behaviour.

Dunbar Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I thought that was very good analysis from Sculthorpe at half time on the Field try. You would expect the full back to take the ball carrier (Smith) on any break and then hope the cover defence deals with the support player (Field). But as Sculthorpe pointed out, Welsby should have covered Field as Smith was not going to go 50 metres to score. Just shows how many split second decisions Rugby League players have to make every game.

I don't want a fight every five minutes but, as DavidM said, it feels like it could be sorted out with a bit of 'old fashioned justice' and few could object. 1 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.

Old Frightful Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Big play from Mike Cooper, and when Sironen dropped the ball, he didn't rub his face in it. A bit more class than some playing this game tonight. 1 "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out.

Futtocks Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Both sides are a lot sloppier than usual.
