Jeez! 4 years ago!
I think that was one of the last times I saw Delaney have a stand out game

That game summed up Tomkins as a fullback for me, brilliant with the ball but positionally poor, naive, and shaky both under the high ball and tackling one on one.
He should have moved back to 6 after that game and by now England could have a genuinely decent set of halves.

That game was also notable for a truly world class kicking performance by Sinfield, I would suggest anyone that thinks he is over rated (Cas fans) go watch that game... or any of our GFs for that matter

I recall him running after the ref complaining about a forward pass whilst the play was still going and Hardaker running through the gap that Tomkins had vacated to score. He's become even worst for that on his return. The Super 8's game between Wigan and Wire is was embarrassing how often he was turning to argue with the ref whilst the play was still alive, sometimes when Wire scored in the corner he could've gotten over to help tackle the scorer had he bothered. I know every team has their complainers to the ref when a try is scored but I haven't seen anybody do it as much whilst play is active and ignore his position.

Still looking...

Peter Smith has retweeted someone this morning on twitter who's selling 4. Might be worth trying??

Boo, they've gone

But RL in England is dying. Isn't it?

Well in the 90s we used to play matches at Old Trafford and Wembeley and go near to selling them out, so selling out a 24,000 seater stadium isn't exactly a brilliant achievement

Remember Marathon bars and white dog poo?
Happy days.

People like to rant and rave about the RFL but always either misremember facts or delude themselves that Rugby League has ever not been what it is - a battling, second tier (in popularity) national sport which has to fight for both crowds and attention.


Average attendances vs the Kiwis for series in the UK:

1980: 8,729
1985: 16,769
1989: 17,206
1993: 22,590
1998: 19,734
2002: 20,835
2007: 19,360
2015: 30,887

2015 was historically exceptional and the 2016 Huddersfield game being sold out is also very atypical of these matches. The RFL needed to bring a game to W Yorks as we haven't had a top ranking test match for some time and are one of the most loyal heartlands - and Hudds is the only viable option other than Elland Road.

But but but 1980's Great Britian tours muddy pitches shaun edwards the games terrible now compared to then.
