Tornados did it I962, not sure if it was the first.

Ha ha, reffy beat me to it - Telstar by the tornados Dec 1962. However, David Rose & his orchestra hit the top with The Stripper in July 1962.

The 1st british solo artist to it the top in America was Mr. Acker Bilk with Stranger on the Shore in May 1962.

Derailing Jean's topic, you lot should be ashamed of yourselves.

The nrl uaed to have a "song for the season"..... Tina turners simply the best was one i recall.
Given the ability of the sl chairmen to secure no major deals or imcome after breaking away from the rfl, maybe they should use a catchy nimber to market the current season.
The Dead Kennedy's "Too drunk to F%/7" would be a cracking song for this years opening credits to the SL show

1. Super League sides play the damn ball. Am sick of SL and its ridiculous lack of the PTB. Makes the game look a joke.

2. NZ Warriors actually have a good season

3. Toronto make the playoffs

With the bad weather all over the world now they may get snowed in till August so that will be the end of them LOL

Sounds like some good wishes.1

Another thing would be the TV coverage.

Can we get some new graphics from Sky. They have used those robot men for years now and its time for something new.

Also please no more referees in the commentary box!!!

Get rid of Pinky and Perky. No idea what those two earn but whatever it is it's too much.

Stuart Cummings has left SKY. Thank God.

Unfortunately we still have Terry O'Connor, Barrie McDermott, Phil Clarke, Bill Arthur and Ben Proe.

I like William Arthur. He gets bad reviews on here, but he is much loved in other quarters. He is always fair and respectful towards the French players, be they playing for Catalans, Wigan or St Helens. I wish William Arthur a happy and healthy 2020.

What i'd give to have Eddie and Stevo back, Stevo used to drive me mad with some of the stupid stuff he used to say but by god was he entertaining.
