I just turned on the replay of Leeds v Huddersfield match and the bugle player absolutely murdered that Last Post. It was a disgrace to the uniform!

Fortunately there will be some mighty ANZAC versions over the course of every NRL fixture next weekend to show you Brit’s what a real Last Post sounds like.

I didn't see the start of the game from Headingley but why were they playing the Last Post in April?

I couldn’t quite hear, but there were two ex-soldiers disabled from conflicts presenting the match ball.

To get in there first, there’s a few on this forum who should have a go at their Last Post too 😂 

Hopefully, you’re at the front of the queue. 😉 Thanks for all your previous input. Well, some of it anyway. 😉 The winks are because not many Aussies have a sense of humour. 😉

I agree with you re the bugle player, almost as bad as the many different Aussie singers that has performed the national anthems at any function, can anyone actually blast out a tune in Aus, they all sound like they are singing down and through their nose.

Genuinely thought this was going to be a rant at something followed by a resignation from the forum because 'The Game's Gone'.

Yes, feel like the title of the Worst Last Post belongs to either Mick Gledhill or The Parksider.

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.

No, it is a 'the brass section has gone' post.

We've seen a few flounces over the years. Sometimes more than one from the same person.

I've flounced off Politics and Australian.

Both vintage displays.

Oh, you should have said.

This is in the same category as if a tree falls with no-one to hear it... is a flounce a flounce if it has to be announced?

He did fluff his lines a bit but i cannot even begin to imagine the pressure of nailing that in front of thousands of people/servicemen/dignitaries and on live tv, take some balls to even give it a go, fair play to him i'm sure he was aware it wasn't perfect but the crowd still respected it while he was playing.

This is it. It is insanely hard to do and, from speaking to a couple of people I know who do play the Last Post semi-regularly, very, very hard to get back once you know you've lost it.

You guys would make terrible commanders for accepting such insubordination. If it was me, that rendition of the last post would have had me sending him to the Eastern Front immediately.
