| Quote: ThePrinter "Before anybody gets carried away having a moan about the score line. Arsenal beat Villa 4-0 in the FA cup this year, Swansea battered Bradford 5-0 in a league cup the other year. Germany hammered Brazil 7-1 in the WC. Australia got bowled out for just 60 in an Ashes test.'"
Unfortunately for the watching millions this will be the only game of Club RL they will watch this year. |

It was still more entertaining than any game in the RU world cup is likely to be.

I was relating to the season as a whole, not on todays performance.

H.K.R beat Wigan & Warrington – wouldn’t they be seeded teams?
You could still get the same scenario.

Why have you bothered to take the time to construct this waffle about if’s but’s & maybe’s?

Quite possibly. |

Imagine what the situation will be like in 2018, when the extravagantly wealthy NRL -- probably expanded by two teams -- has sucked all of the Antipodean import talent and the English talent out of Super League. The standard of play will be like Leigh vs Bradford offer today. Nobody will bother watching. I cannot see the RFL tempting the BBC into signing another contract for the Challenge Cup beyond the current contract. The talent in Super League is just too thin and it is certain to get much worse. |

I'm not sure what records were broken with the "80000"? I recall the days when that was a poor crowd at the old Wembley. Has it been rounded?
I saw Lizzie Jones' "Abide with Me" late last night on the internet. She was amazing and I hope the final will be remembered for her and her late husband.

I have one more gripe - the statue. RL fans should hang their heads in shame that Neil Fox was not voted as one of those honoured. What more does a man need to do and at Wembley too? Disgraceful in my opinion.

The longlist was created by a public vote - the final selections were made by 'a specially convened panel' consisting of ex players, administrators and the media; I can't find who comprised that panel.

regarding the statue, i would have thought Shaun Edwards and Neil Fox would have been more worthy of it than, say Offiah?

I've often wondered if Edwards accociation with the dark side hindered his selection.
Can't argue with his accociation with Wembley though (excluding his assualt on Bradley Clyde obviously...ha ha .)
