I miss Rinaldi - he foresaw the beard zeitgeist many years in advance, and made Wakefield a focal point of hipster cool before we even knew what it was.

I'm going to be disloyal here and suggest Tyrone McCarthy was the first. Rinaldi just went for the scruffy mess. McCarthy went for the sculptured Ned Kelly look.

How has Tangata been?

I'm sorry Slugger, but you're quite wrong; the man was a hirsute icon of pogonological style - way ahead of his time.

Nah. For true hipster, it has to just out at the chin and be trimmed to a neat wedge. His beard, although well-groomed, is just "not shaving", tardiness on a par with the Catalans performance on Saturday.

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear oh dear. Missed this one.
And You could have had a spelling field day with FREDERIC BANQUET Trinity 1997.

Not SL I'm afraid, but there was a French winger called Sylvian Houles, I mean he was a legend NOT!

Is that where you have a beard and a suit jacket one size too small ?

Checked, of course, with trousers too tight over polished brown Chelsea boots. But hey, they're individuals, not sheep, right.

He went very well on Sunday.
