To the forum members that are at the ground, have you seen anyone in a Leigh Leopards shirt?? 

One guy found guilty in court was given the option by the judge of 10 years in jail or wearing a Leigh Leopards top in public … he’ll be out in 5 with good behaviour

A bit of chat between some of the Kangaroos and their mascots - those kids will treasure that!

FFS this attendance situation is beyond a joke. What is wrong with people, it's Australia, who I hate as much as anyone, but they're the best in the world and the Harlem Globetrotters of rugby. The ground is near empty. If this baby wasn't now overdue I'd have been at 5/6 games this tournament, can't people put their hand in their pocket and actually turn up

Of course not, they're camouflaged.

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.

Can only see an aussie cricket score here, even with a second string side. Hope im wrong tho. 

It's not a second string.

How can it be right that one team gets their anthem sung and the other doesn't? 

Some of the basics of presentation that I'd obsess about as tournament director just seem to have been ignored or applied in an utterly amateurish way. And we're a week in now, they've had time to fix things.

I watch a lot of international fixtures, in major and minor sports. Having a live singer tends to be the exception rather than the rule.

FFS that kick off was going out on the full.

Most people (myself included) don't enjoy foregone conclusions. Theres very little entertainment in a blowout that is an expected blowout. Tries in RL are only appealing if they are earned against difficult opposition.

I‘ve been there at the 4N in 2016 and there were more than 20k in freezing conditions. This is a WC… puh

But having one sung and the other not is just bizarre.

Not really. 69 to go.

I hope you're not watching then and if blowouts aren't your thing, probably don't watch the world cup
