| Nice Twitter link.
The WF3 based complainant who describes himself as a Fellow Thorper (just like Ryan Hall) is also a fan of Katie Hopkins, Nigel Farage and Stephen Yaxley Lennon (who?) as well as dodgy £3.50 chicken burgers from HQ therefore he deserves everything he gets
I'm a big fan of Twitter these days.
If it weren't for Twitter, I wouldn't have known of the meltdown experienced yesterday by one particular forum member who hasn't posted here for a while.
It's refreshing to know that he feels more comfortable expressing his views on Twitter instead.

| Spot on post Mark L.
Once again Loiner 81 & Printer sensationally miss the point but then again because we've been successful in the past any old sh*# should be acceptable right?
As for faux outrage & a moan again completely missing the points been made especially wrt the lack of structure & hypocritical response from the Coach.

Have McDonald's got a franchise at Headingley?

Nope not missing the points at all. Merely pointing out people on here are grown adults fully capable of making their own decisions on whether to attend the match with no gun pointed at their head. Let's be honest McDermott could've called it a training run BEFORE the match and it wouldn't have had much effect on the attendance.

Sorry but anyone who thinks yesterday's game and all previous Boxing Day matches, since the birth of summer rugby. were ever anything more than a marketing & training exercise isn't just missing the point..... they're also missing a few brain cells.

That must include the hypocrite Coach then because BEFORE the game it mattered & he refers to last years game more than once as a marker for what then occured throughout 2016.
Also you weren't there flower so can't even comprehend how bad it actually was & that's allowing for the result not mattering or that its a friendly

| Just so we are clear no-one went yesrerday expecting a GF winning performance or a 60-0 drubbling full of free flowing International standard RL.
What was served up compared to previous years & allowing for selection pre-season & it being a friendly was 100% garbage from start to finish for every reason outlined.

Welcome to the world of sport. Performance isn't a gimme and teams and individuals have flopped on the biggest of occasions never mind a friendly.

We used to actually win Boxing Day games in the early 80's.

| The whole point of pre season games are to get some structure (as well as making money on this one ) sadly structure and Mac do not go together
