Looking forward to tomorrow, hope we give you a good game, i suspect we're both putting out strong teams?
Don't understand why people get so wound up though, maybe after we beat you...

I did say traditionally low pay. these days I don't think its the case these days. I think its one of those things that is considered tradition now, and people find it hard to stop a tradition.

also as its an RFL thing they have a vested interest in keeping top players in the country/ code.

I took my wife and daughter to see Annie at the playhouse. They deserved that more than Rob dserved my £15 or whatever. Especially as the season is about to begin wihch means I'll be feckin off to the games or pubs for games on a regular basis.

Testemonial or not a freindly isn't worth my time. Especially when we have had one a year for the last 7 years or so at Leeds.

Like Tad says, I can support Rob's testemonial in other ways.

I sincerely hope that satisifies the posters who are dissapointed with my non attendance.

Wasn't aware there was a game on last night and wouldn't have attended had I been aware. Was even less aware that it was a testimonial game. In the well-paid, full-time professional era, there's no justification for testimonials whatsoever. My appropriate financial contribution to such unworthy causes shall be somewhere in the region of zero and zilch.

So you're telling us that you didn't attend a game you didn't know was being played - any more mind blowing revelations you wish to impart on us?

The personal satisfaction derived from not having made any contribution to the testimonial stash of some previous unworthy ungratefuls... one who buggered off within a nanosecond of cashing in... and another who is of the opinion - with some justification - that the fans are 'tools'.
